In terms of personal experience, Chrome feels a lot faster now. [URL]
Firefox has been my main browser b/c Safari 4 was slower for me and also no Noscript. Safari 5 though is noticable faster for me and I'd like to go back. Malicious javascript is still a concern, even if remote. I use clicktoflash, but that only blocks flash. Is there a plugin or extension that will block javascript on a page unless I allow it or whitelist it?

So I rebooted my Mac after installing some software updates. I then go to YouTube... but there is a problem, it looks funny. I can't watch any videos because it says "Hello, either you have JavaScript shut off or you don't have the latest version of Flash Player Installed"
1. I tried installing Flash again, nothing
2. Checked Javascript, same thing happened.
Firefox works well I guess.
So is the new Chrome better than Safari 5?
Whats your take? Which one should I use, and which one do you use? and why?
Which has faster java / flash performance Safari 4 in 64 bit under Snow Leopard or Google Chrome?

Every time I try to open a specific website, it pulls up an error saying "This site requires the use of JavaScript. Please check your Internet settings.". Javascript is enabled on Safari, but still won't work. I've tried opening it in Firefox and Google Chrome... same thing! I tried to uninstall and reinstall, no luck.
I recently switched from Safari 5.0.3 to Chrome on my Mac, and I noticed, that Street View scrooling doesn't work as smooth on Chrome as on a Safari.
That made me wonder, so I started running different Flash demos , and it looks that Flash running from Chrome is rather significantly slower than the one for Safari...
Could anyone confirm this? They appear to be the same versions.
Now I started using Chrome 8 beta , enabled hardware acceleration, and it's not as slow as Chrome 7, but still clearly slower than Safari.
how do i transfer chrome bookmarks to safari?

I've tried both of these browsers and I like Chrome more in almost every aspect except one. Because of this aspect, I continue to use Safari.
I don't know if this is the official name of the feature but it seems logical to me. Autocomplete or autofill.
Basically, when I am typing a URL in Safari, if the URL is in my bookmarks or history it will complete the rest of the address for me and all I have to do is hit enter.
For example, I have [URL] in my favorites. I type "fa" and safari fills in the rest, I just hit enter and I'm there.
I cannot seems to find a good browser, yes I know Safari 5 is decent but as my wife just noted me today.
It seems that it cannot "multi-task' with tabs, what I mean she opened 2 flash games from Facebook in two tabs, so while 1 tab is playing the game the second one stands still on loading screen. I have decided to test if that was the Facebook problem and loaded 2 games in separate tabs from other game website, to my surprise same result.
Im also experiencing some issues with youtube, while Im loading video sometimes it stops loading video half way through or may be 40%.
Chrome, well its ok but sometimes it slows on flash as well.
Now the real issue I'm having is from Firefox; I have the latest version installed I think 3.6. After a few minutes it starts to get slow, later on it stops responding to the point that my dock and apple bar just freezes. The only solution is to activate spaces, move to empty space and force quit it.
I think what I'm talking about are javascript links...when you go to, for example, [URL] I'm talking about the links in the box on the right labeled "Most Watched Video." None of the links IN THAT BOX work for me. By "work" of course I mean go anywhere or do anything. It's as if I'm clicking in an area of a page without links.
This happens for me in other sites with similar links. What gives?!
I've checked Firefox and am running the latest version of javascript. I'm also running the latest version of Firefox 3.6.8. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.4.11 - old system software, I realize, but I simply haven't been able to afford moving beyond this (plus my Mac is a Macbook, 2GB RAM, 80GB HD - old unit).
I am trying to save the source code of the javascript alert in safari but the menu items blank out.

Mac OS X (10.6.8), safari

Should I tick the box to enable Java script in my web content (in Safari Preferences)?
Well, I didn't change or install anything but since this afternoon Safari began to pause about 3/4 of the way loading a page. It would hang for about 3 seconds, give me the color wheel then load the rest of the page.
So, I installed Firefox and Chrome and they both do the same thing.
I used to have a name on this site but haven't used it in 4 or 5 years so I had to create a new one. Anyway, I started having a problem with Safari today. Every time I would go to ESPN or gmail it would freeze up, the spinning rainbow would come up and I would have to force quite the app. I thought it may just be a problem with Safari so I downloaded the latest FireFox and Chrome and to my surprise they began freezing up too doing the same thing. I've got a 13" MBP w/ the 2.53 GHz Core 2 duo and 4GB RAM. I ran a software update yesterday afternoon/evening when prompted to, but didn't check to see what it was. I do know it was one that didn't force me to do a restart.

I'm new to macs and I am pulling a prank on a friend. I am trying to run a javascript function everything he submits a forum. I have written my javascript already but I have no idea where to start.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple form with input type="file" and a listener of onchange event for this field.
1. User selected file A and press "upload" button. I send the file to the server via AJAX.
2. Now I need to clear the file field. I tried different ways to do this:
- set value of input to null or ""
- call "reset" method of the form
- reset innerHtml/outerHtml
- use input type=reset to reset the form
3. Whatever I do the value of the input seem to be clear, but! If I select the same file A in this input "onchange" event will not be fired. This is not convenient because in our case sometimes user will need to do re-upload of the file with the same name. In other browsers (like Chrome, Firefox) it is enough to set value of input to null to get onchange event fired when we select the same or another file.In Safari nothing works and it looks like a browser issue.

I get this ad every time I load the page. I figured it was a cookie problem so I searched my cookies for 'Google' and deleted all the results. I'm still getting it. It's not happening in Firefox, only Safari. It's been there since Friday or Saturday. Am I the only one?
