[Item Permalink] Switching to Firefox -- Comment()
Brad-x switched from Safari to Firefox and tells why. I had quite similar experiences in switching from Omniweb to Firefox. In Finland, about half of web surfers use Firefox, so most local web sites work with it, which is not quite so with webkit-based browsers like Omniweb and Safari. FoxMarks and 1Password made the transition to Firefox quite painless.

Here are three add-ons which I found useful: Adblock Plus (get rid of all ads), Fission (Safari-like progress bar) and Quartz PDF Plugin (view pdf-files in browser). I also like the "wiki auto-discovery button".
