Safari is (Still) My Favorite Browser

If you’re like me, the app you spend the most time using is your browser. There’s lots of apps that run continually in the background and iTunes is open pretty much whenever my Mac is turned on, but when it comes to actual eyeballs-on, mouse clicking, keyboard tapping use, my browser occupies more of my computing time than any other app, hands down. Mail is probably in second place, but it is a way-distant second. Let’s face it, these days “computing” means being on-line. On the rare occasion when I’m somewhere with no internet connection, I have a hard time finding a reason to use my Mac (or iPad or iPhone…). I guess I could write something. Hopefully I won’t have to continue something I saved to the cloud. I’m not a gamer and my patience will only allow so much solitaire. So, I usually take the opportunity to unplug. As a side note: I think everyone should go “off-line” every so often, if for no other reason than to connect with the masses who don’t live their lives on-line like we do.
Internet browsers have become so important that choosing one is a task that shouldn’t be taken lightly. On a Mac, there are three viable browser choices: Safari, Chrome and Firefox. All have their pluses and minuses and your definition of the “best” browser will depend on how you plan to use it and what kind of hardware you own.
