I Really Tried…

This marks the end of my third attempt to use Safari as my default browser. I just can’t seem to tear myself away from Firefox.
The main reason is extensions. Safari doesn’t seem to be nearly as extensible as Firefox or even Internet Explorer. I can’t find the equivalent to plug-ins that I use on a daily (hourly?) basis like del.icio.us and Firebug. If I am completely off-base, please let me know.
There are quite a few things I like about Safari. It does seem to be a lot snappier, and, being a Cocoa application, it integrates with OS X and it’s services, like Summarize, tightly. I also get the drawbacks and slight bugginess of Firefox, but I just can’t bring myself to give up all the additional functionality. I really wish Apple would take a long, hard look at the extensibility available in Firefox and realize that it is the main force driving users to ditch Safari.

You are completely off-base!

Is this the level of dialog we want to stoop to? Honestly, I think this just exemplifies the depths of human depravity. If we keep this up, the Internet will just be remembered as a failed experiment in communication. Furthermore, your face is completely off-base, and I got to off-base with your mother. ;)

Invoking Godwin’s Law won’t help you now, boy. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.
