Hello, Firefox, my old friend
I’ve been using Safari for the past couple of years, assuming that it would run best on my aging iMac, now so old it’s stuck on Ventura.
I mean, surely a browser built by Apple would be optimized for computers built by Apple.
But in the past couple of weeks, Safari has become painful — spinning beachballs, long start-up times. Looks like Apple has left this old-timey 2017 Mac behind.
Even when Safari seems finally ready, I still can’t type in the address bar.
So it’s back to good, old Firefox. Even with AI built-in, and I’m not sure if I’m too crazy about that, it still runs circles around Safari.
Really, all I want to do is click on an icon and type where I want to go on the Internet. Firefox does that.
