Also appears that many of my gmail contacts have done the same (or restricted what they post). I think the implementation is half-ass, it's kludgy, and confusing to many non-tech folks. I think it's great how easy it is to get followers but I'm not sure I need yet another social networking outlet when it doesn't offer anything more. It took me a while to even give the "share with google reader" idea a try.</p> To be honest I’ve already given up on Buzz.

It’s a cross between Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed, kinda.

It only shares what you want to share from sites you bring in (youtube, flickr, twitter, google reader).

And, you are paranoid. Go in and turn it off. I don’t like it myself and don’t see a use for it any time soon.

I didn’t go in to my Gmail account and turn it on – so hopefully it’s not sharing anything.

I do a lot of photo stuff, and that inevitably requires me to LOOK at photos, and the heinous, green tint that every AdobeRGB (the preferred color gamut for image editing, whereas the internet default is sRGB, which is what Firefox uses) image shows is terrible.</p> <p>You are spot on with compatability, though, Firefox is unmatched in that regards. Oh, and I never realized a center click on a tab would close it in any other program, haha.</p> I do see some random crashes (I really don’t think they’re all that random, and I think it has to do with resource allocation, especially when a retarded piece of Flash needs to be loaded), but can’t claim to complain about a widespread issue – maybe I just don’t load my browser down much.

I can only disagree with you on one point: closing tabs. Were the "x" on the right, it'd be opposite of the entirety of the rest of the OS. So on Mac, I'd contend that it's FF and Chrome that have the convention backwards, which makes sense as they started as Windows apps. Although, I do realize this is akin to Michael Caine in <em>The Italian Jobs</em> when he says "Remember chaps, they drive on the wrong side of the road over there."</p> I haven’t had the stability issues that you’re describing, but if I did, I’d likely share your dislike for Safari.
