The IT industry rallied their support to raise $105,000 for three children’s charities - Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) Sydney, Save our Sons Duchenne Foundation and Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation (CRBF).
#CLICKTOPLUGIN SAFARI FULL#
The annual IT for a Cause charity golf day was in full swing on 19 April at St Michael's Golf Club in Sydney. Slideshows In Pictures: IT for a Cause charity golf day I know Firefox has its own spellchecker, but I already need to add words to the Mac’s and Microsoft Word’s user dictionaries, so I can do without having another one to maintain. While Firefox has some very useful extensions and good compatibility, it lacks support for various Mac technologies, in particular the Keychain and the spellchecker. But I can’t find an equivalent of the ClickToPlugin extension for Safari that stops Flash and various other types of media content from loading and playing automatically, yet activates a desired piece of content with a click.Ĭhrome itself can be set to completely block all plug-in content, but that’s not what I need, and the FlashBlock and Flash Control extensions aren’t as flexible as ClickToPlugin.
#CLICKTOPLUGIN SAFARI MAC OS X#
It also uses the Mac OS X Keychain, so all my previously stored credentials are immediately accessible. So do I use Firefox or Chrome? Chrome is fast and presents that web application correctly. Oh, and the incompatibility with that web application still remains. The third is the all too frequent message that a page in one of the tabs has stopped responding, so all tabs must be reloaded. The second is that when I switch between tabs there’s a good chance that the window will go blank while the content reloads, often slowly. The first is that pages load relatively slowly.
Then Safari 5.1 arrived, and in comparison with its predecessors it’s a dog. My practice, therefore, was to use Safari for routine browsing and Camino for that web application. So what’s wrong with Safari? Up to and including version 5.0, not a lot as far as I was concerned - apart from a minor but crucial incompatibility with a certain web application I’m required to use as part of my work. Camino’s not going to break overnight, but the writing is on the wall, and I’ve learned the hard way that once the end of the road is in sight, it’s time to move in a new direction. But now Camino is probably on its last legs, thanks to Mozilla’s decision to drop support for Gecko embedding - the feature that made it possible for browsers like Camino to use the Gecko rendering engine.
