Could you live without your browser?
Posted by Sandy
Jonathan Schwartz asks a provocative question: would you rather give up your browser or the rest of the programs on your computer?
Your browser gives you access to Writely (and Chalk and now WhiteBoard). Do you still need Word or AppleWorks?
In this environment, it's more important than ever that Safari work as expected on all Web sites, and users' frustration is compounded when the experience is less than perfect (or just less than the experience with Firefox or Internet Explorer).

I would be hard pressed to decide. MAYBE if I wasn't a gamer, I'd pick my browser.
I worry though. once everything can be done via browser, it'll just be another operating system I pay for, and then I'll be paying for web-based programs too. It's all cool now where things are cheap or free, but I'm not thrilled with the idea of stand-alone programs ending in favour of web-based stuff.

I use my browser more than anything but give up apps that I can use when there is no connection? no chance.
