Safari For Windows..

    I decided to completely change the look of my windows into a mac. along with that, I decided I needed to try out the browser as well :]

    Opera has been my preferred choice as a browser mainly for it's speed and some of the features like the speed dial. It's so ugly though. Safari is much more sleek and clean and I think it's faster! Speed is import for me and my dial up.

    Does anyone else use Safari for windows as your preferred browser? Anything I should know about it?

    I have it installed for testing but I don't use it as my default browser. I prefer IE and Firefox for general browsing. I have about 6 browsers installed for testing though.

    I can't get Safari to work for some reason... No matter how many times I try re-installing it, it would crash when I try to open it. :(

    I've noticed problems with stability when using Safari, too. I prefer Mozilla Firefox.

    Because it's not safari!

    Firefox is over rated. It's still a great browser.

    I'm now using Opera again until Safari has the final version. Then I'm gonna check it out again. It's the fastest browser I've used or tied with Opera. I like the look better. Just has some flaws and lacks features I love in Opera.

    I too prefer Opera over any other browser available. Kindda addicted to it. :D

    Safari doesnt render the CSS properly. Or atleast doesnt render the same way as windows users are used to see. They display more printer friendly font which might seem odd to many. :)

    I've used it for while just to check but again shifted to FF. I don't find Safari For Windows stable also it has some feature that I rarely use.

    Actually, Safari is one of the most compliant browsers available. It was the first to pass the Acid2 test (something which Firefox and IE still do not do). The problem is that many websites include hacks and code to display correctly on IE.
