Is Safari Being Out Foxed?

Were you part of the 8.3 million people who joined Firefox in their world record attempt?  If so, then Computer World has a great question for you.  As a Mac user, is it time to move from Safari 3 to Firefox 3?

My answer is probably.  I rarely use Safari anymore, and I really like Firefox 3.  I use a PC at work, and run Firefox from a USB Thumb Drive, and with plugins like Foxmarks, I get to keep things in sync.  I also like the way that firefox is able to handle a broader range of sites than Safari.

The Computer World article takes a more detailed approach and digs in deeply to each program. They include feature comparisons, launch times, and memory footprint.  All in all, it is full of good information.

Head over to the Computer World article.  If you are a fence sitter, it may sway you, or if you are just a diehard Safari fan, a different perspective is always good.
