Its on! Mac OSX browser wars? Apple Safari? Firefox? Google Chrome? Opera? Microsoft Internet Explorer?

Ok. Let me explain what my thoughts on these various browsers for Mac OSX. Here are some thoughts:

1. Firefox-it is so slow on my old Mac Mini G4. It is feature rich but what is the point of using if it feels like a half an hour to load up. They even promised a faster version. Also, Firefox has been so wonky lately I cannot get it working my Windows system for some reason. Also, it seems my OSX version has missing important icons with no explanation
2. Safari-quite good and tight and light browser. No complaints on this one but it is my usual default browser.
3. Chrome-I love this browser so much I use it for my Windows system. It is compact, compatible with Mozilla that all the major browsers are built on, and easy to use. The best part is how you tear apart each browsing session and it has it’s own system process. That is quite innovative but you can always expect that from the PHDs at Google.
4. Opera-a fast and rather up to date browser for the Mac OSX operating system. It is not small but as good as Firefox for Mac. Unless you have an Intel processor in your Mac, I would go with Firefox. If not, I would go with Opera.
5. Microsoft Internet Explorer- I do remember that Microsoft developed a really old version of it. It has now been discontinued for Mac OSX. As for Windows, I try to avoid this browser at all costs. From my understanding, hackers love to target this browser due to it is not so secure features. That might have changed in their latest version but I don’t use it enough. I only use thing when large sites are only compatible with Micrsoft Internet Explorer. Don’t ask me why site designers do this.

My recommendation for OSX, go with Opera if your Mac is not Intel based. Wait for Chrome as well once it comes out for Mac. Also, Firefox might be fine for those on Intel based Macs. Just my thought
