Browser Gripes

So I switched back to Safari last week after using Firefox forever. I just can't seem to settle on a good browser on the Mac - I haven't been able to in a long time. I'll probably go back to Firefox though.

Safari feels faster and more solid than Firefox. I like the speed, I love the minimal interface. I don't like the fact that Vox doesn't work with it (hello!) and neither does Google Adsense, I've found - the latter is a new revelation as it did work previously.

I'd use OmniWeb as I still love it but, it has all of the Safari issues plus the Ping's CMS makes it crash for some reason. (It's just rendering a control, for goodness sake.)

Camino? If I'm going to do the Gecko core then I want all of the extensions too, so I might as well just run Firefox.

Firefox is still a bit of a resource hog and feels really, really cobbled together on the Mac. It just feels alien, and that's unfortunate because its feature set is still good (OmniWeb's is better.) I think what I want is OmniWeb with the Gecko core. That would rock my socks.

Until then, my socks will hum a little tune instead. Sigh.

I ditched the iPhoto flickr export plugin because it was pooping every so often whilst uploading photos. Today, the flickr uploadr did the same thing.

What's even worse is that the tags and descriptions for the 50+ photos I didn't get to upload are gone forever. What is up with that? I can't even export them.

And this is absolutely no help.

Are you fed up? I am!

Shot Down!

Yeah, remember that lone issue with Cyberduck? The renaming files thing? The one I submitted a ticket about?

Shot down!

...but... but I like it.

Now, knowing it might not be incorporated is honestly making me reconsider my use of Cyberduck. Yes, after I wrote a long entry about its praises.
