Safari at long last
I just updated Safari, and am actually pleasantly surprised.
More usually I've used Opera, preferring that over Firefox in overall appearance, and also responsiveness. Safari, at least with me, has been an also ran in this contest, as seeming terribly slow. But of late have not had much patience with it, and certainly no expert.
But in curiosity after this update my initial impression is that now, strangely or not, it seems quite snappy. No further testing beyond that, although nice to have another alternative.
All the more as I am cheesed with Opera at the moment, with their recent forced update to version 11.0. I'm not a power user with any of these browsers, but immediately noticing two dis-improvements to Opera. One that their full screen view of pictures no longer is, and also they helped themselves to my bookmark list to add some of their own at the bottom (apparently unmovable), and I do not appreciate this blatant product placement/advertising. They do boast that Opera is faster now, and maybe it is, but it hardly helps when the first thing their customers notice is that now missing, or added without asking, and not wanted. I'd also note that about the only reason I've used Firefox is because at times Opera will simply not do something, which in every case Firefox always has. For instance, being able to access Apple's site, but inability to use their navigation at top of page; that persisted for several days (and no issue with Firefox) and then, as other anomalies with Opera have, ceased to be an issue. Still like them, but they are beginning to press their luck.
Might be reason enough to give Safari another look.
