Re: Chrome?

im pissed off that it uses web-kit which while open source has had the widest implementation on mac os x and yet there is no chrome for safari.

Use it at work and its nice...

Re: Chrome?

I like it, it's a good browser. Renders some stuff the same way as IE where FireFox doesn't, which is I guess a curse disguised as a blessing.

They should have used the same / shortcut to search for text, and not Ctrl+F like IE, though. I'm so used to just forward-slashing what I'm looking for it's second-nature.

Re: Chrome?

In Firefox you don't even have to use forward slash.

In Firefox:Preferences:Advanced there's a box that says Search for text when I start typing.

If you check that box, when you want to start searching you can just start typing.
