Safari on Mac, why I would love to use it but don't
Safefox :P

 
On September I did my switch to Mac OS X, since I bought a MacBook. When I finally put my hands on the system, I almost didn't think and accessed Mozilla to grab the latest version of Firefox, my browser of election on both Linux and Windows. I was too used to it, the browsing, the extensions... but was it really a good choice or just some unreflective act?

Actually, I didn't think about it, and kept using Firefox. No problems.

When I finally got Leopard and used Safari to open some pages while I didn't have Firefox installed I felt the integration on the system and the speed that only Safari could give, and I thought going back to Firefox would be a problem. And it was, since I installed it, tweaked it for looking like Safari and felt as like I was using some counterfeit piece of clothing when I had the original right next to me. But why then, would I love to use Safari but seem unable to?

NoScript Apple! NoScript! I just want Safari to have something as powerful as it! It's not really about security (although the more the better) , since I know that most of the adware around can't damage Mac OS X, it's just about surfing with the option of not seeing the awful adds that corrupt some pages being able to turn them off or on, seeing just what matters.

Do you want to see the difference? Here's an example:

With Firefox + NoScript:

1

With Safari:

 

1s

 

With Firefox + NoScript:

2

 

With Safari: 

 

2s 

 Apple, please, create something like it, and you'll have an user!
