Safari's text is nicely anti-aliased as well (in this latest version). <br /><br />Safari also honours the tags on photographs to show the color the photographer intended. You can turn this feature on in Firefox 3 as well (although it is not by default). If this is not turned on, then the browser just used sRGB and the colors don't display correctly. <br /><br />See <a href="http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> for examples and for how to turn the feature on in Firefox 3.<br /><br />I use Firefox most of all for day-to-day browsing. <br /><br />One of the other cool things about the new Safari is that you can save a webpage in Web Archive format. That means one file that contains text, images, and everything. Mac users have been able to do this for a while, but it's only in the latest release that Windows users can now, too.I.M Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221772173209860714noreply@blogger.com
