ActiveX for safari?

Question

ActiveX for safari?

Is the possible to make SAFARI ActiveX capable, and safely?

I heard there's been third party (non-Apple non-MS) plugins for Safari and Firefox but I am sure how it works and if that is SAFE -- because in most of my cases, I need ActiveX for authentication purposes.

Everytime I had to switch to a windows machine. It would be lovely if i can handle those websites on Mac.

Hi,

You can do this on a Mac but you would have to create a partition and install Windows.

Thanks guys. Looks like it's the end of story.

I do have VMware Fusion to run windows but i just hoped that i could find a way to avoid it. Bootcamp is even bigger trouble. You have to reboot. If windows is a must I guess i would just go with VMware Fusion.
