Does anyone use Safari for their internet browser?
I downloaded it this morning but I have a question: are there any add-on features like FireFox has such as Ad Block Plus?

:hi:

1. I don't...

I would assume there are not though, as Safari a closed source project.

I prefer Chrome for speed and FireFox because I use a lot of its add-ons and I need IETabs for viewing sloppily coded pages without the need for shitty web browsers.

2. I use safari because when I right click on any photo I can instantly add it
to my iphoto library. I really like being able to do that. I don't know about the add-on feature. It probably has it too.

3. Safari doesn't have ad block.
That's a huge drawback. But it's a good browser,
and I use it when Firefox has a glitch.

5. Thanks.
I've been using Firefox for years and I've really become accustomed to not seeing ads.

It's driving me crazy with Safari.
