i dont have any problems..

kevL7- yeah, i was going to use firefox, but i heard some say that it keeps freezing or something. also, does anyone use any kind of spyware or antivirusprogram on their macs? thanks.

 

[tdrizzle]

your browser is your personal choice, i use flock(it's based off the firefox engine and code), and i have had a mac for 15+ years and never installed anyanti-virus or spyware program and never had any problem.

 

[livemyreality]

I don't use any spyware or anti-virus. Ive used Firefox for my Mac and it hasn't given me any problems at all...

i don't get adium. i was using it. i don't know, i guess i'm so accustomed to using iChat. What makes adium better? should i just stick with ichatif i'm using it for video chats?

Safari runs smoother for me but FF has all the features. FF runs fine most of the time, but if you enter posts that contain lots of images or pages thathave a lot of images/flash/ads, it tends to freeze up on me...

uses less of your resources. more simple


programs
insomniaX,stuffit expander, vlc media player, transmission, senuti, smcfancontrol, virtue desktops, school house, iserial reader, candy bar,coconut battery, disk inventory x, ffmpegx, handbrake, hide folders. that's all i can think of at the moment

 

[thegoat121886]

MacSaber...totally useless and cool as hell.
Adium of course for Instant messaging...AOL Instant Messanger is doodoo on a stick for macs.
VLC Player for all video needs
Transmission for Torrents
Handbrake for ripping and encoding DVDs
Senuti for stealing iPod libraries

it is if you're using firefox. but firefox is so ehh on the mac. its missing some key stuff safari does like integration with dictionary and itsugly. and it crashes.
