[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1007225"] You CAN use pretty much anything you want. I think the Mac platform actually has MANY more good quality browsers than Windows does. I keep a copy of FF around, but I rarely use it. It seems like its half a browser without TONS of extensions, which of course most people go way overboard on, then of course they release a new version and boom, most of your extensions break, and you wait weeks/months for them all to be fixed. Repeat cycle. At least for me, the Webkit engine seems better, so I tend to stick with browsers based on it. Safari is IMHO the overall best. Google's Chrome I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot-pole at the present time -- keeping track of EVERYTHING you do on line and requiring a constant update daemon = not cool in my book. I have been using a "Chrome minus the privacy invasion" offshoot called SBIron that's pretty impressive, though again only half a browser at this point. I keep trying the others, and keep coming back to Safari. It's fast, it's compliant, its fully developed, its not spying on me. That's kind of what I want in a browser. [/QUOTE]
