Safari

You know, I think I might be switching allegiances. I’m getting sick to death of Firefox’s unpolished stupidness, I might just drop it completely and move over to Safari. I’ve already dumped Thunderbird because it couldn’t wrap text properly, and I’m just about ready to do the same to Firefox. You know it’s bad when the only thing keeping you on it is a third-party add-on (Web Developer).
I’ve tried installing the British English dictionary, but it still insists that “color” is spelt correctly. I hate the fact that even though it’s been ported to the Mac OS, it hasn’t bothered to change the appearance of the widgets (buttons, text inputs, drop-down menus). That to me is laziness. You’re making a Mac application, guys, show a little bit of respect for aesthetics. And drop your own spell-checker, use the native Mac one. Surely that’s easier than writing your own, anyway!
Good luck with version 3, see you then.

sounds sensible, then again I have a choice of firefox or internet explorer so clearly, for me, Firefox is the dog’s bollocks. My version can spell though but it is very difficult to get it to install the UK spelling because the basic install of the spell checker is US spelling so if you’re not careful you end up installing both and then it defaults to US.
In the end I discovered in my tools/add ons bit that I had both US and UK installed, I removed US and bingo, UK started to work. It’s annoying though because they don’t tell you.
