Oh Safari, why do you hate me?

I have been so used to using Firefox that when the Mac came into my life, that I more or less ignored Safari as a whole and went straight to Firefox.

Then Firefox melted down during an update. ...This meltdown would be fixed by a simple restart.

I think my picture is next to the example in the "Wow, you're really lazy guidebook" next to "You know you're lazy WHEN - you don't want to restart your Mac."

Anyway. It wasn't all bad. I discovered a program that lets me customize my trackpad orders, so suddenly I can use the three finger swipe up/down to go to home/end of a webpage (in Safari...Firefox already allowed this) or to the top/bottom of a writing file in Scrivener. No more function + left and right! \o/ (not having home/end keys on this keyboard initially made me quite sad...then I forgot I ever had them)

...But now watching videos on Youtube makes Safari...or something related to Safari...make the router unhappy.

/tries Safari in a different mode then! Oh computers, you do like to make our lives interesting.

I think this is the first time I have ever gone "huh??" while reading one of your posts. I'm clueless when it comes to Macs & computers in general. All I understood was the home/end keys part. Hopefully your router becomes happy; it's never a good day when they decide to have PMS.

Or perhaps they have a picture of the two of us. I know we had this discussion recently. XD

lol yeah I never want to restart for software updates xD I've never used anything other than a mac though ('cept at school), so home keys confuse me. :D
