Safari

[GabberMan]

Been having some problems with Firefox lately and there was no way I was going back to Internet Explorer.

Had a look at Opera as it has been recommended by other Board members but it just seemed a little too unfamiliar so... I've just installed Safari, configured all the bookmarks and settings, and I love it. :thumbsup:

Forget that above post: get Opera.

well, it is good enough for me, as i know it pretty well, and would never go back to IE

I have Safari on my computer, but i have never used it, particularly because i dont want to have to learn it all

Firefox > Every other browser. Ever.

Opera is nice to be sure. I'm a Firefox guy for two reasons: 1. extensions, which some people hate, but as someone who works with computers professionally, I can't do without it. 2. Open Source, period.

use Google's Chrome!

I like Chrome too. It looks like it's going to be extensible in the near future, so that may just get some browsing from me. I love the current build though.

Shayd, you know quite a lot about computers - what do you think of the idea that, in the future - perhaps not too distant - we might not have home computers, work PCs, Macs or anything, and that all data will be stored on giant remote servers (as apparently proposed by Google)? Is it viable? Will people buy into it? Or is it just another means of control?

Anyone can answer, not just Shayd! :thumbsup:

The idea of "cloud" computing as it's called certainly is viable. In fact, many people currently use some form of cloud computing today. Remote storage sites exist all over the place, and essentially deal with data as a cloud. Whether or not it will catch on in the mainstream is somewhat up for debate, although I must admit, there are a number of computer manufacturers that are paying a lot of money to keep things the way they are now.

Practically speaking, I could see Google following through with the "G-Drive" concept, but from what I've heard that may be a ways off.
