Safari 3.1 Review: Works with Blogger. Finally!

Well, it looks like the new Safari 3.1 release works with Blogger. Finally! The WYSIWYG editor seems to work just fine, which was the major crashing point before. I'm running Safari 3.1 on my Powerbook G4 12 inch on Mac OS X Tiger. I love Safari, but mainly because of it's clean apple interface and because it's generally the fastest browser on my computer. Although I think Camino and the new Firefox 3 beta are very close seconds.

Camino is the Best Mac OS X Browser for Blogger

So I've been using Camino with Blogger for the past week or so, and it just works. Flawlessly. So if you went through problems with a buggy experience with Safari or a slow experience with Firefox and Blogger, I highly recommend Camino. It solved all my issues.

Alternative Web Browser for Safari on Blogger

I finally found a browser that seems to work seamlessly and fast on my Powerbook G4. Camino! It's fast and works with blogger. It's my new blogging browser of choice. Finally a browser for my mac that is fast and works with blogger.

Safari and Blogger don't get along

So, I've decided that Safari and Blogger just don't like to play well together on my Powerbook G4. Safari will "unexpectedly quit" way too often when using Blogger. Well it's not unexpected for me, it's happened about 15 times in the last two days.

Apparently the WYSIWYG editing features are not compatible with Safari yet (see help article), and it looks like it might not be for a long while.

For the most part, that's okay with me, since I use the html editing panel mostly, but it's annoying. On the other hand, overall Blogger appears to be slow when I'm using Safari. Of course Firefox running on my Powerbook G4 is a CPU blackhole, and terribly slow. On a window's machine, even an old one, Firefox is nice and zippy and has no problem running.

Am I stuck with a crappy blogger experience on my powebook g4?
