Safari for PC, what do you think?

[Silverthorn 0]

Well, the title said so, since we're familiar with Safari, especially to the Mac users or PC users who are forced to use Macs for educational classes.

 

What do you think? Me, I say no, since Firefox in Mac pwned over Safari & even caused IE for Mac decommissioned. I still say, no, a no-go test for me on Safari for PC.

Wasn't the Windows version of Safari released many months ago?

 

Either way I heard it was rubbish.

[Saracen 16]

It's best as a MAC and iPhone app, but nothing more... I like the way they're bundling it with Quicktime like they've done with iTunes.

 

It annoys me such that I download updates of Quicktime to use that particular app, and get numerous other Apple related freebies that I simply don't want. What's even worse is that I don't have a damn choice in opting out of installing them.

 

To be honest I'd rather have the Like of EA and other devs use High Def WMV, than MP4 files... it would be the perfect excuse to get rid of all of Apple's Crap off my machine for good!

 

Which reminds me:

The only Apple product I even use is Safari since it walks all over Firefox's standards compliance but outside of that, it's IE7 and FF3 for me. Though... I have to test as much as I can being an ASP web dev. >_> <_<

[F15pilotX 4]

I downloaded/installed it, but figured out that it sucks compared to FF3..so yeah, haven't opened it since then

Anyway, yeap, I don't trust it. Like what you said, Saracen, I prefer Quicktime & MP4 videos to be read on my Winamp player (For some, Windows Media Player), but it turns out they don't work. MP4 does read on Winamp but it shows no pictures, only audio is read.

VLC Media Player.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

The Quicktime Alternative codec pack. >_<

[TheBlackOut 7]

VLC Media Player.

We have a winner.

That's because your thinking as a web developer. The average internet surfer couldn't care a less about standards compliance. Most aren't even concerned about browser security either.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Why shouldn't I think like a web developer? I'll be one. xD

This. Plus CCCP equals Win.

 

[Mighty BOB! 5]

Yes I use Media Player Classic for my Quicktime and RealPlayer needs when they arise.

 

I just can't stand using bloatware or crapware if I can avoid it.

Hmm, so far, I wish there are some couple of plugins for my Winamp in order to play Quicktime & MP4 movies.

CCCP? Союз Советских Социалистических Республик?

[Mina Synd 0]

meh. i'll stick to VLC and firefox for now o.o unless safari offers something to make it better then other browsers... and it'll have to be a big something o.o

[Doctor Destiny 41]

CCCP? Союз Советских Социалистических Республик?

Combined Community Codec Project. It started mainly to play anime but it evolved and works for general use, as well. Very handy pack.

Combined Community Codec Project.

Ah, ok, makes sense now. I was wondering how the Soviet Union was relevant.

[F15pilotX 4]

With so many of you mentioning VLC, I guess I'll have to try it out...

You have never tried it out? I hope Fenring's Jeep hits you

[Doctor Destiny 41]

My Jeep is not Christine. I'll be doing the hitting. >:3

[F15pilotX 4]

Your Jeep isn't Christine? eh?

 

 

And I would prefer NOT to get hit by a jeep TBO >_>

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Your Jeep isn't Christine? eh?

Stephen King, you dunce. >_>

VLC is good too for everything except subtitles.
