Swad Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Security Fixes Come Faster With Mozilla Last month, I looked at how long it took Microsoft to issue security updates for known software flaws in the Windows software that powers most of today's computers. Last week, I conducted the same analysis on free software produced by the Mozilla Foundation, perhaps best known for its Firefox Web browser. Over the past year, Mozilla averaged about 21 days before it issued fixes for flaws in Firefox, compared with the 135 days it took for Microsoft to address problems. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6021100217.html Plus, they're just more honest about their problems. IE? Yeah... not so much. But that's just my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Security fixes might come faster, but they sacrifice Human Interface Guidelines on the Mac version, making it a hideous browser to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beringer Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Security fixes might come faster, but they sacrifice Human Interface Guidelines on the Mac version, making it a hideous browser to use. Absolutely true! "Too many Kooks spoiled the Meal" Still, there are redeeming features, such as the plugins/extension called DownThemAll and AdBlock..

Swad Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 If Camino supported FF extensions, it would be heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Then camino would have the same problems as Mozilla. And if Camino did support Ff extesions, Safari would be able to as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackt283 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I've gone from Firefox to Safari to Camino, and now back to Firefox. It's not without it's problems, but its still way cool. Extensions are great, that's why I use it. I got a nice theme too, which looks heaps better than camino or safari (i cant stand brushed metel sph sph). Too bad RSS doesn't feature, and you can't view pdf's in browser with preview like safari can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kday Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 What advantage do you see with camino over firefox? Looks? Well, I installed the UNO 1.3 GUI for OS X. Uno unifies the OS X GUI. I don't like how OS X is so incosistent with the theme. Some things are brushed metal, some things aren't. Uno fixes this. Note: When you install Uno, Firefox's theme still didn't look very good, so I downloaded a firefox Uno theme here: http://www.takebacktheweb.org/ . Every other program I have integrated with Uno perfectly. Screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
