Best browser for ordinary use?

I use Camino almost all the time because it says on the pack it's for Apples.
I use Mozilla to get into my internat bank.
I'm very happy.
But I see many people here praise Firefox and sometimes Safari.
Would I be even happier using Safari or Firefox or Netscape or Mozilla?
Why do Mozilla, Firefox, Camino and others from Mozilla exist side by side?
thanks
Gordon

I agree with Thomas--keep several browsers available as some sites prefer one browser over the other. I use Safari most of the time at home, but have to use Camino to access my workplace employees' site. That site chokes Safari and IE.
I use Camino exclusively at work because Safari broke and I cannot get it running from either my main acct or a separate troubleshooting user acct I set up.
I can tell you that I've abandoned IE forever, even though the Mac version is even so more elegant than the Windoze version.

What is best browser for safari - google, chrome, yahoo?

with all the security issues and enhancements in the past yea, I have a stupid question but want some opinions and input;
I use Mavericks, and Apple mail. what is the best browser for my IMac?
Thanks,
Don

That would be Apple's native browser Safari.
But it's very important to keep your system software up to date.
Your profile indicates your iMac is running v10.9.1.
If that is the case, then you need to update to v10.9.2 ASAP.
Download from here > OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update
Or click Software Update from your Apple drop down  menu.

What is the best browser for use with tv-links.co.uk ? I'm using camino at the moment and it is taking ages to load!

My firefox crashes frequently!! I'm now using Firefox 3 GranParidiso Still in beta

I am considering a base 21" iMac ($1099 @ Best Buy) for home use. It would be my first Mac. Is the base model powerful enough for everyday home use and some light video editing or should I upgrade the CPU, Ram and to a Fusion drive?

Purchasing with the upgrades through Apple would add about $800 over the Black Friday deal at Best Buy. Just looking for some advice if I will be satisfied with the based model.

All models will do what you want. Upgraded models will do it faster than the standard models.
Just why are you thinking of switching to a Mac?

Best browser for HTML5 support on Android

Can anyone recommend a browser that actually works with Captivate HTML5 output on android devices? I get a variety of problems across Firefox, Chrome, Dolphin, and Ninesky. The main problem I get is no sound, but on some of them I get sound but the nav buttons don't work. I am using very simple slde sounds - one per slide. Also, does anyone know if there is an Android version of Safari?
Best, Steve

Safest/best browser for 10.5?

As I'm considering moving from Leopard to SL (on my two mid-2007 model macminis), best still hesitating, I'm wondering, now Safari/Firefox/Chrome have ceased to continue supporting their browsers in Leopard, whether there are any alternatives that do continue supporting them (incl security updates etc) - maybe Camino?

Yes, quite safe.
Safari is the fastest and safest browser for OS 10.5 Leopard.
Security of OS X generally:

Security Configuration for Version 10.5 Leopard:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/Leopard_Security_Config_2nd_Ed.pdf
Suggestions for ‘safe surfing’:
1. In Safari Preferences/Security:
Turn off Java (but not Javascript)
Do not check the box 'Allow websites to ask for location information'
Accept Cookies only from sites you visit
Select 'None' for Database storage
From the Safari menu, select 'Block pop-up windows'
2. Do not allow Google to register your interests:
Removal/prevention of Google cookies:

3. Download and install Ghostery from http://www.ghostery.com/
having read about what it does. It prevents you being tracked by outfits like Doubleclick - and there are many. Glims will indicate how many such tracking devices it has blocked: some sites use as many as 15! This Apple site uses one, sometimes two. That will effectively stop unsolicited advertising pop-ups.
4. Do not use a cell phone for any financial transactions. Such phones are simply to easy to lose.
There is no such thing as total internet security, but what I have suggested above will go a long way towards invasive tracking. As regards other aspects of internet security, please read on:

Best Browser for 8.6

I would like your opinions on what you guys consider the best browser/s for 8.6 running on a 8500.
I'm going to connect it to my 4 port ADSL router/modem
I've always liked Netscape, then Mozilla, now use SeaMonkey on 10.3.9. I use FireFox as a secondary brower.
I've just downloaded Mozilla 1.0.2 which I think is the last Moz to support 8.6
What's your preferences?

If you're using Mac OS 9 or later like I do I prefer Mozilla 1.3. The only problem is it's no longer available from Mozilla's web site for download. They took the link down for some odd reason. I'd say if they really think it's that buggy that maybe they should backport a more current version to Mac OS 9. Even better still would be if SeaMonkey is a Carbon app in that it would make porting to Mac OS 9 easier too. You may want to update your CarbonLib. The latest version is 1.6 & I know & remember from experience with Mac OS 8.6 that it doesn't include that version either.

Best codec for web use - 15 min corp video

Hi
I have a 15 min DVD that a client also wants converted for use on their corporate website.
Could you advise me of the best settings/codecs to use to make this file small enough, but still good quality.
The video is PAL.
Thanks. I haven't had to do this before and thought I'd ask the experts before trying.

I really like just using Broadband High...
File - Export - Quicktime Conversion ... change default compression to BROADBAND HIGH then go to OPTIONS and change SIZE if you are working with anamorphic...
I like 480x270.
About 3meg per minute.
Here's a sample...

Best microphone for computer use w/ E-MU sound ca

My microphone is being read by the PatchMix, the volume bars spark up whenever you speak into the microphone, but it isn't being read by the rest of the computer. So I'm wondering which type of microphone-for-computer-use (foreign language programs and the like) would best work with the E-MU 0404. Logitech has a USB Microphone that claims to need no drivers, would that work? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello Casey! Sorry that i haven't responded. I didn't think i was going to get an answer so i stopped looking at this post. I still have the problem though and i thank you for your reply.

Suspend mode [SI (POS) ]
ACPI version features [ACPI v1.03]
ACPI APIC Support Enabled
AM, DEMB table Disabled
Headless mode Disabled
RTC Resume Disabled
Usb Wakeup From s3/24 Disabled
Power on by PCIE/oboard Lan Disabled

I have no idea what to change and was hoping you would have some clue? Thanks once again, you seem to have the sulution for my problem. / Playgu

Best browser for G5 2004

Looking to have youtube running smoothly my g5 is the mk 2 model,would someone please suggest the best browser and graphics card.thanks

Hello,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

Which is the best MacBook for general use

Hi, I am already use to using Apple as I have other products from them, including an IMac. However I am not sure which MacBook to get, whether the Pro or Air. I will be using it for general use at home and about, but also for school work. Which one is better (including their specific advantages I.e graphics) and which one would benefit me most according to my needs?
Any help would be appreciated.
-Thanks Jacob

The Air is lighter, but the Pro has the better specs. It will depend an little on if you want more portability or more power.
By definition the MacBook Air has lower general specs than the Pro. Graphics will not matter much with light school work and general usage. But as a rule of thumb, the Pro gets the better cards.
You may be o.k with an air, but if you can afford the Pro, go with the Pro.

I'm going to Europe and will have my iPad along, any tips on the best plans for Internet use etc?

Any tips for international use with iPad?

Since storage space is not a limiting factor for you, you might want to take a look at Apple Lossless. Lossless will give you the equivalent audio quality of an uncompressed format such as WAV or AIFF with about a 30% decrease in file size compared to the uncompressed formats. Keep in mind that if you have an iPod, these Lossless fies will severely decrease your iPod capacity. For instance, a 30GB iPod importing the avg. 4 minute song in Lossless will only hold about 1150 songs.
Personally, I use AAC @ 256 which I find comes pretty darn close to the original CD quality with a large decrease in file size. I have a 60GB iPod, so I was willing to sacrifice some iPod capacity for the improved audio quality.

Best Practices for dashboards using Query Browser

Hi,
As aligned with business requirement, dashboards are using Query browser to fetch data from universes built on SSAS cubes. The issue here is it takes around a minute to initially load the dashboard which is very long as per requirement. Can I find any document or basic points to be taken care of, on improving performance for these dashboards.There are around 30 Queries being used.(cant integrate the queries to decrease the number). Also , using ranking logics at excel level, does this affect the performance?? (All vlookups and "should not be used" formulaes have been omitted)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aarti,
Check the thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3482541.
Any functions used in Excel level like ranking,vlookp etc affects the performance.
Also check the components you have used in Dashboard as some of them affects the performance.
Regards,
JC

Best Browser for my MacBook

My almost 5 year old MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 (I haven't upgraded yet) is overheating a lot when I use Safari 5.1.10, I've tried Chrome but I didn't like it. I'm looking for a browser that will perform well on a Core 2 Duo MacBook with 2 GBs of RAM... any suggestions?

My Safari 5.0.6 is reasonably fast. Here is my general advice for Safari users who experience speed or stability difficulties:
The measures I take to improve speed and stability of Safari 5.0.6 should resolve some of the issues with later versions. These instructions are for OS X.
I flush DNS cache daily at boot - Google for Terminal command for your OS
Use a very fast DNS server - find best for you with NameBench or use 8.8.8.8
I don't use tabs as they consume too much RAM and slow my old Mac
Turn off RSS, Fraudulent sites and Extensions
Set Preferences/General/History to one week
Adjust Safari Reset to clear everything except history and passwords
Start Safari at least once a day with this AppleScript
Decompress the script and put it in Applications and then replace any Safari startup or Dock items with the script.
The script deletes Safari local storage and cache. It then starts Safari and activates Reset using your Reset settings. Those who wish can view the script and edit it with Script Editor.
It is possible to stop Safari 5.1 automatic refresh as this page explains:

Best Browser for older iBook.

I have an iBook G4(1.2 GHz Pwer PC) with OS X 10.3.9. Currently using Safari 1.3.2 but it crashes quite often for what seems a variety of reasons. What browser would be optimal for this older iBook given my specifications? How would I obtain/download? Thanks.

Camino is probably your best bet:
