Safari Browser: a quick evaluation

I just did a quick check of Safari, to see if its a suitable candidate in my quest to replace Maxthon as my default browser.

I like some of its features (particularly the multi-threaded tabs, similar to chrome).

apple-safariHowever, the first dislike is the border width… its very thin, which makes it difficult to resize on a large monitor. Its one of the reasons I’m leaving Maxthon.

Next, I want to see if I can place some toolbars (eg the bookmarks bar) next to the menu items. I like to make the most efficient use of empty space on the browser, since I like having the maximum possible space available for actually viewing websites.

Hmmm, that’s not possible either.

To me, Safari seems to be a toy browser. If I use Safari, them my browsing “experience” will be crap… the search continues.

    I am all about using Chrome. It handles massive numbers of tabs (which I use for research on my site and EC) very very well by launching a separate exe for each. I have a quad-core processor so it is an efficient use of computer resources as well.
