Dear Safari Three,
I Detest You.
You and I had such a good thing going. It’s true, I didn’t ever like your illogical bookmarking arrangement, or the fact that you would suddenly crash for no reason, when nothing else was open.
But your interface was cleaner, and we could maintain a separate relationship on the side when I didn’t feel like opening up Firefox. I’m sure you know you would never take his place. You seemed… happy… during our torrid affair.
I don’t know if it’s a mid-life crisis or what. But I’m not liking your little Safari 3.0 beta party clothes at all.
I used to be able to use you to make blog posts that I couldn’t in Firefox, like videos, and manual aligning of pictures, because you shunned the Visual Editor. That was one of the things I liked about you. But when you changed, I accepted it.
At first.
Now, you screw up my posts when I edit. And you still aren’t compatible with StumbleUpon. So I lost some of the things I love most about you, and haven’t gained any advantages but the privilege of a slightly-better drop down option list.
I still love my MacBook Pro, and can’t even part with it for one night to get my Sims 2 DVD to eject. I’m still crazy about Apple, although I’m not buying an iPhone until/unless they add video.
But Safari? You and I need to seriously re-evaluate this relationship. Love-hate has turned to hate-hate, and apart from occasional angry-but-still-hot relations, we’re gonna hafta part ways. Opera and I are going to try our side fling again.
Firefox, if you’re reading this, know that I’m never going to leave you for any of these skanks. Nothing compares to you. When I’m with Internet Explorer, it’s only when I am on a business trip in an XP window. Safari, hell, even Opera means nothing to me.
They’re just quick diversions that I use like hoes so that I won’t taint you with my side activities, video fetishes and quick, personal work that has nothing to do with business or what we have together. I don’t want you remembering some of the windows I used to go to in Safari. If you play Real Player videos better, or zoom the way I like it, I would be willing to talk about not making Opera my side fling.
Safari, I gave it a shot when I had to upgrade or start using Firefox exclusively again. I tried. It’s just not working.
And it’s not me. It’s you.
