Safari, Firefox, Camino.. Oh My!
April 6th, 2008 by Tom Sepper
From an earlier blog entry, I’ve already explained my personal browser war. I have finally made a choice after a few software updates as well as finding some very helpful plugins.
My browser of choice is now Safari 3.1.
First off, to address Safari’s inadequacies I outlined in my previous post:
- WordPress released version 2.5 which fixes the TinyMCE issue.
- I realized that I didn’t have that many Firefox extensions installed; and those that I did I found suitable Safari replacements.
- Having to export and import my bookmarks when they change in order to keep my iPhone up-to-date was a major pain. Using Safari obviously fixes that natively.
- I no longer use Outlook Web Access, so this is a moot point.
As for the plugins I found to replicate Firefox extensions:
- GreaseKit — the Safari port of the Greasemonkey extension.
- SafariStand — various enhancements including color coded source viewing.
The two plugins require the SIMBL application to be installed.
I have two Greasemonkey scripts installed: Show Password onMouseOver and Spelling Cow all text fields.
My question to those reading this — which Greasemonkey scripts do you find indispensable?

Correction - Spelling Cow above has been removed, and Spellcheck all inputs has been added.
