Collins’ Onovia

I read an article on the PC World website about how Mozilla’s CEO has his panties all up in a bunch about the fact that Apple pushed their Safari web browser via Apple Software Updater. I have Apple’s annoying automatic updates disabled. However, after I was done reading the PC World article, I enabled the automatic updates to see if this was a “Stealth” install, as the article claims.

After a few minutes, the updater showed up with an iTunes + Quicktime update, and a Safari update. Hrmm. Not to stealth if you ask me. Now, I’m not really sure what Mozilla is afraid of here. I highly doubt that Safari will impact the Mozilla browser market share. Some claim that because the update was pre-selected, it’s “ethically wrong“. My response would be if people weren’t so fucking click happy all the time, then this wouldn’t be a problem. Click Click Click, oh by the way, you just gave me your car. I mean, come on people. READ shit before you click.

After reading all this fuss, I had to check out Safari. (BTW, if there was no crying foul, I wouldn’t have even know about Safari for Windows, thanks!) I’ve used Safari on my friends Mac, but not extensively. I’m actually writing this post in Safari. I’ve played around on all the websites I normally visit, and I have yet to run into one problem. I liked the easy to understand interface, and that the options show me only what I need to see. I also don’t like the fact that its sucking up 202MB of memory with just 4 tabs opened. Even Firefox isn’t that bad. I’ll stick with Firefox myself.

End result: No damage done to Firefox, Safari gets a test run by a bunch of people that never had the opportunity, and everyone remains a click happy, pantie bunching, complainer!
