Where "anything" is webcams such as the one used by Swiss airports.
Fortunately Safari worked for everything else, and hardly anyone

Nope, no use for anything except plonking no-use sites. I tried to use
it to access the Natwest home banking site four days ago. Totally
useless- couldn't display the page. Can't display my DLink router
management page either. In fact all I needed to do was to restart my
ancient creaking Mozilla 1.7 which, in 10.2.8, works absolutely fine;
but foolishly I thought in the mean time Safari 1. something might do
the biz. It doesn't.

Nah. It's crap. As every sensible person knows. Including Apple of
course, who fixed it if you were prepared to purchase and load up a
whole new OS to do so. My systems are working well and I'm leaving them
alone; I'd rather just use a decent browser. Which I do; Firefox.

Safari's always worked fine for me, from 10.2.8 onwards. On the rare
occasion where you get a badly implemented site that Safari doesn't like
I just switch to Firefox or SeaMonkey.

I think that is what everyone does. However, Peter has a personal
vendeta against people finding safari useful for whatever reason.

I use firefox full time on the PC (although IE is now as good or better
for developing as firefox is) and have it as a spare on the mac, but I
couldn't use it all the time.
