Paratest is a command line tool for running PHPUnit that comes bundled with Sausage that you can use to run PHP tests in parallel on Sauce using the PHPUnit test framework. These examples, for Mac OS X/Linux and Windows, show the commands used to specify the path to the test file you want to run, and to simultaneously run two instances of PHPUnit. Antitrust Smackdown. The EC charged Microsoft with tying Windows Media Player into its operating system. But versions of Windows Media Player are now available on platforms from Mac OS X. The most recent WINNT OS would be Windows 7. OS X is an operating system developed by Apple and is currently the 2nd most used OS after Windows. It has less than 20% marketshare. OS X unlike Windows, is actually based off of Unix. Therefore, OS X is considered to be part of the Unix OS family like Linux is.

Safari has the feel of a mature product rather than a v1.0 release. Apple has done a great job getting a product out the door that is reasonably standards-compliant and stable. A couple of areas for improvement for Safari are better contextual menus, especially support for 'back,' 'forward,' and 'reload page/frame.' I am big fan of Safari's tab implementation, and also like the drop-down bookmark folders in the bookmarks bar. Safari also offers integration with Apple's .Mac service, allowing the user to synchronize their Safari bookmarks across multiple computers. Despite Apple's claims about Safari being the fastest browser, it rendered pages a hair slower than Mozilla. However, it handled my fantasy football live draft page much better than any of the Mozilla browsers did (all of them crashed after some time). Like OmniWeb, it has trouble with the advanced interface of the Ars OpenForum, rendering it properly but not being able to fully navigate using the JavaScript 'breadcrumbs.' Given the effort Apple has put into most of the other iApps and the speedy manner in which they incorporated feedback during the beta testing of Safari, expect it to get better.

Camino would be the best OS X browser if it had feature parity with the other Gecko-based browsers. It has a nice OS X looking interface, renders quickly, and feels like it 'belongs' on a Mac. Additionally it offers the option to view and manage history and bookmarks in a sidebar, similar to OmniWeb. However, Camino stores its bookmarks in an XML file which makes importing them into another browser difficult. There is a utility available to swap Camino and Safari bookmarks. Hopefully development will pick up on this, as 6 months ago this was easily the most promising web browser for the platform.

Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird, and Netscape are all rock solid, stable, and standards-compliant. My biggest complaint about them is that they do not feel like OS X applications; rather, they feel like ports. Also, installing and launching Netscape screwed with my Mozilla installation (not Firebird). For some strange reason, Netscape 7.1 insists on using separate user profiles. This made some sense on OS 9 (and earlier) given that those were single-user OSes. On OS X, Netscape is basically reinventing the wheel. It's annoying to launch the browser when I'm already signed on the computer and have it ask me which profile I would like to use. Additionally, I can no longer select the original profile in either Netscape or Mozilla, so I no longer have access to my bookmarks. This is not a problem with Mozilla Firebird.

The ratings and conclusion

Do Mac OS X users have a 'best of breed' web browser? Not yet. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. If you can't live without tabs (like me), avoid OmniWeb. If you don't care about the UI as much, go with Firebird or Mozilla. If you have .Mac and use more than one computer regularly, Safari (along with iSync) is a your best bet. With the exceptions of iCab and Opera (although this should change once 7.0 ships later this year), no matter which browser you choose, your surfing experience will be a positive one. For the most part, Mac users are no longer second-class citizens on the Internet. Two years ago I was using OmniWeb. One year ago I was using Mozilla. Nine months ago I was using Camino (if any of you reading this have worked on Camino in the past but are no longer doing so, please jump back on the project!). For now, I'm sticking with Safari, although I am keenly interested in seeing how OmniWeb 5.0, Opera 7.0 (both due by year end), and Firebird evolve.

Let's take a look at Frankenbrowser 1.0, the hypothetical speedy and standards-compliant browser that doesn't yet exist. It would feature

• Mozilla's standards compliance
• OmniWeb's user interface and appearance
• Safari's bookmark bar, tab implementation, and integration with .Mac
• Camino's speed
• Opera's control over preferences
• Internet Explorer's market share

Until Frankenbrowser ships, which one should you use? Whichever one best suits you.

A note about the ratings (and the difficulty of rating things):
Assigning ratings to each of the browsers was perhaps the most difficult part of the review. One can't say 'it's got a decent rendering engine and you can dance to it. I'll give it a 93, Dick' as though this was an episode of Browser Bandstand.

All 9 of the browsers have shortcomings, the issue was how to weight each one. Do I give higher marks to browsers that are standards-compliant, but look like they don't 'fit' on OS X? Or should I reward the browser that is standards-compliant, looks like a proper OS X application, but is behind the rest of the field in terms of development? Or do I give the best rating to the browser which is the most stable, renders very well, and is tightly-integrated into the OS? For a number of reasons, Mac users (and I have been one for 18 years) place a high value on integration into the total 'Mac experience.' Hence the importance placed on this aspect of the brewers in this review.
In the end I feel that Safari's stability, relative speed and standards compliance, 'fit' with OS X, and other features put it a notch above Mozilla and Firebird. Having said that, there is room for improvement (and not just on Safari). Web surfing on OS X is evolving. Camino may pick up development again. Firebird may look and feel like a proper OS X application some day. OmniWeb may get tabs. But right now, I believe Safari offers the best overall browsing experience.

As far as the specific ratings go, I had Safari as an 8. Firebird was a close second, so I gave it a 7. I originally gave Camino and Mozilla a 6 as well. However, Mozilla at this point is a better browser than Camino given the latter's stage of development. If the Romans had had decimals, I would have given Camino a 6.5, Mozilla a 6.75 and kept Firebird an 7.
