Safari vs. Firefox: Tooltips

Friday, July 6th, 2007

I read a few web-comics, and it is S.O.P. to put an additional joke in the tooltip box that pops up when you mouse over an image that has an alt or title tag... Firefox cuts these off after 70-ish characters. Safari shows you the whole thing (i.e. I haven't ...

Firefox’s Fat toolbars

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Everything in Firefox is about 2x taller than it needs to be. Vertical Screen Space is at a premium. Every horizontal bar could stand to lose at least 4 px of height... On my setup that would yield 20px more for the website rendering area.

Firefox Tool Tips

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

So I have a folder of links called "blogs" and when I find a blog I want to keep checking I will drag it into the folder... Firefox "helpfully" puts up a tool tip telling me that I can do this. This tooltip appears directly over the "blogs" folder. When I ...

Firefox Tab Closure

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Safari vs. Firefox

Friday, June 15th, 2007

I used Safari 3 for a couple of days... It's nice, but there are fewer things that annoy me about Firefox than Safari. Using Safari I get tons of windows... it's like tabbed browsing doesn't even exist... I rarely want more than one browser window... AdBlock Filterset G does not work with ...

Safari 3.0 Beta (Now for XP and Vista!)

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I'm trying it out... (Get it here) Nice to see Google's applications working. The one thing that would be nice is "Open all tabs in current window" You can do it (about 99% of the time) with some plugin I picked up somewhere, but I don't like those plugins. The weirdest thing ...
