Re: Think different

"I use Safari because i don't want the bloatware that is Firefox."

Bloatware? On Windows Firefox 3.0.1 weighs in at 7.2MB (all MBs stated in CS 2^20 bytes grammar) while Safari 3.1.2 is a 18.6MB download. On MacOS X 10.4, Firefox is at 17.2MB while Safari is at 39.0MB. Even after installation, Safari still takes up more disk space. Speed wise, the two run neck-and-neck on default config--enabling piplining significantly improves FF3 performance while systems with limited memory resources suffer significantly running Safari with extended usage.

Don't think differently just for the sake of thinking differently... that can only lead to madness.
