Lately Safari has not only become slow, it's become practically unusable. Sometimes it just stops responding altogether, and all I get is the stupid swirling beachball. (Mac users will know what I'm talking about; it's like the hourglass cursor in Windows.) I haven't ruled out the possibility of spyware or whatever, but really, I don't go to crap sites that would have that sort of stuff. Of course, one never knows, so whatever.

So I finally broke down and installed Firefox, and that pretty much solved everything. Even if a site seems to be unresponsive, I can still go to other sites in new windows and continue doing things elsewhere. Previously, this would have stalled Safari completely. Even better, rss feeds can be put directly into the Firefox bookmarks!

Here I thought Firefox was only the savior of Internet Explorer users. Who knew it was that much better than Safari too?

I just have one fear: what do I do when Firefox starts sucking?

Update: Apparently the answer to that question is immediately. This blog won't update from Firefox. At first I thought it was a maintenance issue from Blogger's end, but it updated perfectly from Safari. I just can't win.
