This is a personal blog of Phalkunz. He currently works at Silverstripe as a web developer.
When I used a Mac, I’ve tried all of them excepted Flock. In the end, I like Firefox and Camino the most.
Can you still run IE on Mac?

I can’t really say whether firefox or safari is on the top of my list. There are a lot plugins for firefox and some of them -like web developer, firebug, and stumbleupon- make yourself so much easier. However, the drawback is firefox has an issue with memory usage. For safari, you don’t have as many plugins as you do for firefox but the thing is it’s really fast. But still, you can install webkit that gives safari the ability to inspect html, just not as comprehensive as firebug does, and now we have a plugin for stumbleupon, called stumbi
My mac is powerpc so it can only run old version of IE (version 5 i guess) on OS9 partition.

how do you find Safari on Windows so far?
Comment by phalkunz — June 8, 2008 @ 1:29 pm
you should write your own browser too!
few lines in ruby should do the trick…

@Meta: a few lines of code properly can only send and receive HTTP requests and responses :p to make a full featured browser takes a lot more than that. Anyways, how have you been? long time no see. what do you do now?

I am stuck in Australia for my master degree. I have no more weekend. I should have chosen another university instead of this one

Sounds tough so it must be a good uni. Well, it will pay off later one. What course you do? Telecomm, right?

The web loads faster than others with Safari on Windows. The thing that i am so upset is Safari doesn’t support Khmer Unicode yet…

It’s carnegie mellon uni. Maybe that’s the reason why…
I am doing MSIT but yeah it does have one core course called telecommunication management. any plan to visit cambodia this year?
Comment by Meta — June 9, 2008 @ 12:20 pm
@ijajaja: I thought the unicode support was based on the operating system. That’s a minus for Safari.
@Meta: isn’t carnegie mellon american? Great bro. I don’t really have plan to visit Cambodia yet. You? Any plan after your master graduation?

I got IE, Firefox and Chrome installed on my PC. I was impressed by Firefox, but its slowness made me swift to Chrome. And yeah, I hate IE too.
