I’m increasingly using Chrome because Safari can’t get the job done. I don’t know whose fault it is that these sites don’t work with Safari, but to me as a user it doesn’t really matter. Improving power efficiency is great, but it would probably save even more battery life if Safari were compatible enough that I didn’t have to keep Chrome running.

Oh thank goodness.
If you’re a web maker, you gotta keep up with this stuff.
I’ve been using Safari as my primary browser as a trial on my Lion machine. The number one thing I can’t get over is the lack of favicons in tabs. When I get 5+ tabs open, picking the right tab is a total crapshoot. Especially since Safari introduced opening tabs adjacent to the current tab…
Have I mentioned recently how glad I am Corey is blogging? Keep up the good work my man!
I used Safari as my primary browser for a little over a week. Disclaimer: I was not a fan of Safari before this and have used Chimera/Camino as my primary browser for several years. This post has my notes from the experience. The transition to Safari was pretty easy. LaunchBar already indexes my bookmarks, so…
Erik is challenging me to give Safari another chance, I’m going to take him up on it. I’m setting Safari as my default browser1 for the rest of the year, and I’ll try to keep some notes on the experience. I’ve actually never used Safari for long as my main browser before. [back]
I ran across a surprising little feature in Safari. If you change a standard: <input type=”text” /> field to a “search” box like so: <input type=”search” /> In Safari, it is magically transformed from a standard input field to a “search box”. It can also have added functionality like remembering previous searches with an extra…
I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but as of Version 2.0.4 (419.3), my JS Quicktags (example page) seem to work in Safari. Yay!
FeedLounge has been updated to alpha 6, and now works in IE (Win) and Safari. 😎 This post is part of the project: FeedLounge. View the project timeline for more context on this post.
Today’s update to Safari fixes the accesskey on button crash. Yay!
If you use an accesskey (control + letter keyboard shortcut) on a button element in the newly released Safari 1.3, Safari crashes1. Just a word of warning for you Tasks Pro™ and Tasks users that are accustomed to hitting Ctrl + S to save tasks in Safari. If you haven’t already upgraded to 10.3.9 and…
It seems that the little style switcher I added is really wreaking havoc in Safari. Visitors get a blank page until the hit refresh a half dozen times. I saw this myself initially in Safari, but now it works fine for me in Safari and I can’t reproduce the problem. I can’t debug the darn…
Found another Safari bug. It seems that Safari converts encoded characters when it processes them using JavaScript – this causes some problems and affects Tasks and Tasks Pro™. I encode characters like " (") and > (>) so they display correctly. When Safari loses that encoding and tries to insert the unencoded content into the…
I found another annoying Safari bug today. If you dynamically write an empty textarea element into a page, Safari self-closes the tag. This is illegal with a textarea tag. Safari actually knows it’s illegal since the next time you try to write one, it has to close the first one before opening the second one……
