browsers

here's a comparison of some of the major browsers for mac:

- firefox 5
  • good: can sort bookmarks; lots of plugin/extensions
  • bad: cannot open pdf within the browser; sync is not reliable (better use xmarks for that)
- safari 5
  • good: runs fast on macs; can merge separate windows
  • bad: cannot sort bookmarks (a tool called safarisort exists, but cannot specify which folders to sort); no sync option (safari version of xmarks doesn't work well for me)
- chrome
  • good: clean interface; can sort bookmarks; can open pdf within browser
  • bad: hangs a lot; sync option not reliable (better use xmarks)
