Thursday, November 8th, 2007

My favorite Webbrowsers for Macs:
My Top 3:
1) Safari - Apple has recently come out with the 3rd version of their famous Safari browser. It is very fast and runs great on the Mac. It doesn’t autosave your tabs and browsers as Firefox does so if it shuts down - you don’t have anything saved. But [...]
