It seems that I’m not the only one who is giving up on Safari<\/a> in its latest incarnation. \u00a0Macworld staff writer Lex Friedman<\/a> is also dropping Safari for Chrome<\/a>, and for the same reason: Safari’s insistence on refreshing the content of a tab if you haven’t viewed it in awhile. \u00a0This has a performance impact on your whole Mac.<\/p>\n

I didn’t expect Chrome to become my browser of choice, but that’s what won. \u00a0It feels snappier than either Safari or Firefox. \u00a0It doesn’t grind to a halt the way that Safari does. \u00a0Firefox has always driven me away because it refuses to honor the system network settings, which gets in my way when I’m at the office and switching between the wired network (with a proxy) and wireless (no proxy)1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n
