Which one shall I use today?

Web browsers. Yes, I'm on about them again

I keep rotating between Firefox 3.6; Opera 10.5 beta; Chrome 4; and Safari.

Firefox I use to love with a passion but it's gotten slow and pisses me off at times.

Opera is very fast yet has trouble displaying web pages correctly.

Chrome used to be fast but seems to have slowed down now.

Safari is fast yet the font can get annoying, especially when it makes the writing on a site small.

Firefox and Safari are also the only browsers that have colour management, an essential feature for my photography site and the photography forums I visit often.

Safari has issues with the RTF of this forum.

Opera and Chrome also have issues. Opera for the visual display and some rtf issues; and chrome really hates the shoutbox and also has some rtf issues.

I'm currently using Safari to write this as it loaded the forum uber fast and is co-operating well atm. If only I can combine bits of them all then I'd have a browser suited for all my needs!

I wonder what browser I'll be using tomorrow....

I was such a Safari girl, as you know, until it kept making a mess of Paul here...I now use FF for everything and I like it, although I get annoyed at having to re enter my log in details on some sites that I never had to, with Safari...but it's more reliable with THIS site and let's be honest, here is where I spend a large chunk of my internet time

I did DL Chrome but hated the tabs for bookmarks with the icons, they took up too much space and I am very anal about all my tabs being accessible without using a drop down menu because they spill over the edges. (IF that makes sense)
I used Opera once but can't say I was that impressed, although I'm not sure why...

Good luck...I hope you find a satisfying, long lasting relationship with one of them

Thanks gals! :grouphug:

I'm bound to keep on going back to firefox as it works for everything I do. It's just its slowness that is annoying me, especially compared to the others that are faster now. Hopefully the next version will cure a lot of that.
