Reason enough to switch to Safari

Just recently I switched to Safari full time. For those who are unaware, Safari also has a plugin system. Though not as developer-friendly as the Firefox one, there are some decent plugins around, most notably Adblock plus.

Another plugin that I can’t do without now is Inquisitor. In my opinion, it is the killer app for Safari. I simply cannot go back to Firefox leaving this little magician behind. And what a magician – just type whatever you want to search for and even before you have finished typing it will have a beautiful list of items that match what you are thinking of. Yea, thinking!

More often than not, the first result will be the one that you are interested in. There are options to show a longer list, but quite frankly, even three is more than sufficient.

Unfortunately, all these plugins are for the Mac OS version of Safari. I have to live without these when I’m using Safari on windows.

    That’s an interesting post… will definitely try inquisitor plugin soon..

    btw I’m a Firefox fan too. I too have notice the decrease in the speed of my fav browser. I did try Safari but i guess my lack of Mac experience keeps me away from making it my default browser.

    As a designer, i do love the fact that safari renders fonts in a much nicer way… hopefully i’ll be able to make the switch once i get my MBP :-)
