Wow I didn't know there were Firefox users who had the blinding sentimental stupidity that infects so many other bigoted simple-minded microcomputer users.

I guess once a piece of software reaches a market share threshold, idiots start using it too.

John is right. Not sure what planet these Safari supporters are on (or which computer company they work for), but Firefox is vastly superior, even against Safari on Macs. FF is much quicker than safari, is able to run much more programs than Safari, and is much more user friendly. Other facts: Safari sucks for playing so many online movies and games. Apple needs to abandon it like a blind date and use FF.

The author here is clearly biased against Firefox, because Firefox users who use Script Block/AdBlock Plus (WHICH YOU WONT FIND ON SAFARI/IE) aren't getting bombarded with tracking cookies and annoying pop ups/scripts, and losing his revenue on his site because of that.

Firefox is awesome for the fact of it's open source and user developed plugins/addons/themes. No other browser are you going to find the ability to block virtually all ads (AdBlock), disable all scripts (NoScript), syncronize all your bookmarks to an online server public or private (Foxmarks/Xmarks), or change your internet browser to look like a Nintendo with Megaman sprites (Megaman theme).

Power to the user.

Oh, and if it's lagging up your machine, UPGRADE IT, doofus.

Yeaaaaa haven’t used firefox on a mac can’t say it’s better or worse. But attacking firefox isn’t going to help your cause… Also I’ve seen myfox on cydia don’t know if it’s a true port or not but it’s a definate check out for any firefox fan. Also apple does allow fullscreen browsers so apple probably just rejected it cuz it’s well competiton

I could care less if FF is slower, it saved me from bogus sites more than once, which is the main reason I use it (on my Mac, which is the standard platform in the film industry). I also prefer its interface, but that's secondary.

I'm interested in a workaround, if I can find one.

Wow, Admin develops websites , so he's no noob? My next door neighbor develops websites, but she' a clueless grandmother, too

By this brilliant logic, I assume Admin is a teenager.

Tragic.

"Yep, you’ve outed me - I’m a n00b. I just happen to build websites for a living, develop web technologies that you use every day within your very browser but wouldn’t understand, review technolgoy, build complex interfaces, you know… n00b things. "

First of all, spell checkers are amazing things. Just because you can't type a single paragraph without a typographical error in it doesn't mean your computer should suffer you to.

Secondly, your sad attempts at humor are lost to us all, and if you'd have taken the time to read the article, being the "expert" that you are, you'd see that his argument was well founded. But I guess you're too busy being an "expert" to pay attention to any of those technical "internet" things. Douche.

I can see a few issues with this article. For one, safari only works better On a mac because, like IE on a Pc, it Is constantly devouring system resourses in attempt to appear faster than it is.

One qustion:

You claim to build web applications and do programming, and that you do this all on a mac...

How does it feel to write programs for 1% of computers in the entire world?

Oh, and If you want to go on a credentials battle, let me slap mine on you:

3d modeling, rendering, animation, and voted top ten in the world at it from the google community.

-all of which require that which a mac just can't provide- software that isn't dominated by application Nazis....

I have no problems with FF3 on the Mac. It is ever so slightly less responsive than Safari, but definitely more extensible.
