In this post, we’ll look at the three primary alternatives to Safari: Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, and Opera Software’s Opera. All three of these browsers have their own special features and capabilities that set them apart from Safari and each other.

(Related: Testing Lab: Battle of the Mac Browsers ) While we won’t delve into a complete comparison of those feature sets, it’s worth looking at each browser’s home page (links listed earlier in this paragraph) for details. Using Google’s Chrome is an interesting experience, as it uses Google’s cloud for syncing bookmarks instead of iCloud and also features a library of very powerful extensions that can be used to add features to the browser.
To sync settings and bookmarks between computers, you’ll need a Google account (a Gmail address is sufficient). Once Chrome is installed, moving your existing Safari bookmarks to the Google browser is simple:ġ) Launch Chrome, and log in with your Google accountĢ) With Chrome open, select Chrome > Import Bookmarks and Settings (see screenshot below) Chrome “Import bookmarks and settings” dialogģ) Select the browser that you’re importing bookmarks and settings from. This is done with the pop-up menu, seen in the screenshot above with the word “Safari”. Usually the browser will be Safari, but Chrome also imports from a variety of other popular browsers.Ĥ) Depending on the browser, you may see other options to import. For Safari in this example, only Favorites/Bookmarks are available to import. Once you’ve cleared the import dialog by clicking the Done button, Chrome defaults to the Settings page where it’s possible to continue customizing the browser to your needs.Ī dialog appears showing that the work is complete (see screenshot below): The bookmark import is complete… Make sure that item is selected with a check mark, then click the Import button.ĥ) In just an instant, Chrome imports your bookmarks and any settings that might be available. The bookmarks that have been imported are now available across all devices that are using the Chrome browser and are signed into the same Google account.įirefox recently benefitted from a complete rewrite from scratch, making it one of the speediest browsers now available for Mac. It is also one of the best browsers for those who desire privacy during their web sessions, and is now available for all major platforms (Mac, iOS, Windows and Android).

Synchronization of bookmarks and settings is done through a free Firefox account, and users can choose what to synchronize between devices - open tabs, bookmarks, logins, history, add-ons, preferences, and even addresses.ġ) Launch Firefox, and log in with your Firefox account.Ģ) On the right side of the Firefox address/search bar is a button that looks like a stack of books.
