Instead of switching to Safari, you can get the best features in Safari in your Firefox. Just follow this guide at the Lifehacker blog.
One of the tips is the combined address bar and loader, which I have previously mentioned.

As I've written earlier, the Chinese government is blocking access to Flickr — probably because of some pictures of the Tianmen Square being published onto Flickr.
However, help is on the way — if you're a Firefox user, that is.
According to CNET News you can get around the blockade using a Firefox extension. The extension is [...]

But just now I remembered it, and thought it was worth to be shared :-)
The search engine Searchmash.com is Google's online playground when it comes to search. It has a lot of AJAX (live page [...]

One of the few things I like about the Mac browser Safari is the combined address bar and loader. But now you don't have to have Firefox Safari to get that feature.
Just use the Fission extension, which I'm using right now — yes, it works with Flock (0.9 Beta) as well!

As you may know, Apple has released their own Safari browser in a Windows version, probably hoping to gain some market share. To make the sell, Apple has been telling people, that Safari could be as fast as twice the speed of Internet Explorer and 1.5 times faster than Firefox at rendering HTML and [...]

The Chinese government who apparently stops at nothing in trying to keep the Chinese citizens from having any good use of the internet is now apparently disabling access to photo sharing site Flickr. The reason: Pictures from the massacre at the Tianmen Square has been published on Flickr.
This means that the German government should cut [...]

I noticed that this blog took some time to load, and I noticed that the waiting time was due to the fact, that my blog was fetching content from maps.google.com.
I figured out that it had to be because of the GeoPress plugin I have installed on this WordPress blog, which allows me to geotag my [...]

J.D. Lasica has written a post on how bloggers don't want to talk to reporters.
Often the bloggers say that they do this because they want to be in control of the quotation — they don't trust journalists on this.

Now we [...]

I've been away from my computer (due to my last school project and the extraordinary good weather) so my apologies for not posting this until now.
But, the Netscape 9 beta 1 browser has been released.
Netscape is based on Firefox as is my new favorite browser Flock (but believe me — wait for Flock 0.9).
Among other [...]
