Its my surfing browser. I use opera all the time on the pc for favourite sites (though 99% of my posts to this site are made my nokia n73,with opera mini) never use explorer,and firefox is now bloated and overrated. Avant is quite good. So cant help you. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-30141 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:33:44 +0000 Scott 30141@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>billbonza,</p> <p>Maybe you can help. The main reason I find Safari difficult is the lack of a bookmark sidebar. It seemed whenever I wanted to visit a bookmarked page I had to go through a couple of clicks and away from the main browser page. Is this inherent, a bug, and is there a workaround?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-30140 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:03:00 +0000 billbonza 30140@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>It was patched 19/6, or thereabouts. Its a fine browser.. 2nd only to Opera. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-29998 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:15:05 +0000 jd2066 29998@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I just read the page at <a href='http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2092'>http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2092</a><br /> It appears some of the security issues including the downloading files without prompts to the desktop have been fixed in the latest release of Safari for Windows. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-27070 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:58:13 +0000 The Geek 27070@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I've been using Opera quite a bit lately... The more I use it the more I like it. </p> <p>There are a few annoying issues with it, especially with the "official" release. The beta is a lot better. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-27069 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:52:06 +0000 whs 27069@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hail Opera - really a good browser. Has just one little glitch for the Forum visits - you have to refresh from time to time to get the visited posts to turn from blue to black. In that regard, Opera is a little phlegmatic. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/alert-do-not-use-safari-browser-on-windows#post-27066 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:12:17 +0000 The Geek 27066@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The safari browser is chock full of security holes... just one new vulnerability after another. I advise uninstalling. You can always use one of the Firefox safari themes to make it look the same.</p> <p>Read this for a few details on just one of the current holes:</p> <p><a href='http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1212'>http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1212</a></p> <p>Plus, Safari is pathetic. If you want a speedy browser that still has lots of features, Opera is the way to go. </p>
