Safari for Windows is horribly slow.
Takes forever to render a page, and is prone to temporary lockups when filling a form. (Like a DU message for instance.) Firefox is quick as fuck in comparison.

That will be all. Have a nice day.

4. Hm. Doesn't suck like Safari does.
Looks as fast as Firefox.

Not sure I'd like my browser to open with thumbnails of the sites I visit most, though. Come to think of it, I probably don't even want such a gallery to be available with a hotkey. Let's see the configuration options.

I wonder when will they launch a Linux version.

3. From what I've seen, Safari for mac ain't much better...
Seriously, I think that program is half the reason I didn't like using a mac the last couple times I've had classes that used them.

5. Well, I keep sending messages to Apple asking why Safari (for the Mac) sucks sweaty donkey balls
(in those words). So far, no reply.

But, nonetheless, I love my Mac. :P

7. I haven't tried Chrome.

I have Firefox, but it's still version 1.x (yeah, I know). Never had a problem with it. My mom had a problem with Firefox 2 (took really long - on the order of minutes - to connect to the first server requested after launch). I think she updated to Firefox 3, and that fixed it.

Edit: Safari, isn't honestly all that bad, except sometimes It'll lock up without warning, and I have to force quit, which is annoying. This seems to happen if I've had it open for a while with a lot of tabs.
