Firefox might be better than Safari, but I use Safari mostly, because Firefox (without tweak) has higher CPU usage rate than Safari's, which makes my MacBook Pro slightly hotter when I use FF than when I use Safari. There is an article about Safari showing richer color than some other browsers: http://news.com.com/2100-1012-6191815.html I use Safari on my Mac and installed on Windows XP using Parallels Desktop for Mac to test it.

I have read how in other countries, like Spain, they have the same problem with IT idiots that know nothing but Windows and IE and actually use a non-standard approach to many sites. I'm hoping Korea will beat Spain in this respect (and at football). That’s good news UT. I think Apple will pull it together nicely.

I was probably understating it when I said it was 'noticeable', too. It's super fast. I remember when I first did the tweak; it felt like I had bought a new computer. Rob,

It is not separate from IE, so I just use "IE View" which loads IE in it's own Window. tz247: IE Tab just loads the IE Engine into a Firefox Tab, much like it can be loaded into other programs.

" What continues to surprise me, mins0306, is that as far as I know, Korea has yet to produce an indigenous web browser." The Korean IT industry is more geared to producing games, web pages or customized programs for corporate and government clients, using development tools and methodology that already exists. (ie Oracle, MS Visual Basic, etc) It is not however geared for the type of programming that will create an OS or an Internet browser for that matter. On top of that the computer science graduates that Korean universities produce are not capable of carrying out the just mentioned type of programming. #8 : Robert.

Shouldn't be too difficult, seeing how IE is the shittiest browser in the known universe.

The Safari 1.0 release will be very good I bet — better than IE since it already loads faster than Firefox on my Windoze machine.

Better than IE? Shouldn’t be too difficult, seeing how IE is the shittiest browser in the known universe.
