I use the nightly builds of WebKit.

Anyone see this: Star Wars opening crawl w/ HTML & CSS.

Yeah, saw it when it floated through Reddit. It got hated because the guy used non-standard (i.e. webkit only) CSS, but I think it's absolutely brilliant. And slightly avant-garde in Firefox.

I was all Safari until recently, but finally I changed my default browser to Chrome.

Only thing I miss is being able to grab an URL by the icon and drop it somewhere.

You mean dragging a tab and making it a new window or moving it to another place? Chrome does do that...

Firefox, for now.

If I can have Firebug and some sort of media extraction tool like DownloadHelper I'll switch to Safari... and if Chrome wasn't so beta insofar as managing bookmarks and such I'd consider going with that.

Ever seen Safari's "Web Inspector"? Other WebKit-based browsers like Chrome even get it "for free".





Don't like that? Well, there's also Firebug Lite that works in Safari.

I've been using Safari's Activity window to pick out files (like YouTube/Vimeo/etc. videos) for download for years.



Pretty? No. Functional? Enough to grab files. Double-click an item to get it.

I believe chrome has activated bookmark management.

Try the latest download and see if it suits.

I prefer Safari over Chrome simply because Chrome's bookmark bar looks like ass with it's favicons.

However, I'm forced to use Chrome a lot since Safari seems to be on a 24/7 menstrual cycle and crashes/hangs/beachballs for no apparent reason, what so ever.

I thought Safari 4 in Snow Leopard was supposed to resist taking the whole browser down when flash (constantly) crashes?

I use Safari on my MBP, and Firefox on my Linux box at school.

Safari as default, but Camino for RSA logins and for ESPN360.com. Might change back to Camino full-time at some point, but I went to Safari for the "minimalist" setup, and it hasn't steered me too wrong so far.

I'm with ya buddy.

Damned right. Command+Option+A, followed by Fn+(right arrow), followed by mad scrambling to find the little bugger while he's still moving. It can get a bit rushed with those <2 MB Flash videos. Finding the file after it has stopped loading is pretty difficult.

At first I had terrible beach-ball problems with Safari 4 and Snow Leopard, but for whatever reason it has greatly improved in the last few months. During those dark moments I tried Firefox in earnest, but I just couldn't get over how ugly it is - both the user interface and the page rendering. I'd probably eventually learn the keyboard shortcuts if I stuck with it, but I'd never learn to love Firefox.

Firefox's Flash-blockers and other add-ons don't interest me because I surf the web with all plug-ins disabled unless I need Flash for specific content.

Every other file is bytes or KB, videos worth grabbing are almost always MB.
And you could always right click in the background window to reload while maintaining focus in Activity.

I switched to Chrome for a little, but after several days of heavy usage I ran into some stability issues so switched back to Safari for now. Chrome as secondary browser.

Firefox is there somewhere too.
