Is there a big difference in the two since Mac computers are pretty much virus free? I know on a Windows Firefox is better at preventing alot of stuff but
didn't know if it mattered on a Mac?

both. i use firefox for yuku support and add ons
the difference between the two on a mac is the fact that firefox is open sourced, and is a lot more lightweight. Safari runs smoother though, and the linked support between other apple applications is unparalleled. |

After I installed Snow Leopard and updated Safari to the most recent release, I switched to safari. But I still use firefox for a couple of things.

Snow Leopard is lighter on both your system and hard drive and runs more efficiently than Leopard. |

Is there a way to block ads on Safari like using adblock for Firefox? If not, then Firefox FTW.
