2. It is a security risk - according to PayPal...

thanks for the advice man!

 

Unless you use a mac then you don't need to worry about it or any viruses. Also, the paypal article is very old and Safari has been patched since then. Please get your facts straight.

Also fuzzy websites? How so?

 

THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

1) Safari is a FIRST CLASS BROWSER. If anything, it only seems fuzzy because stuff is optimized for Firefox/IE. With me, Safari works better than anything.
2) IDK about the phishing stuff so I can't tell you too much.
3) AND OF COURSE ITS A FUCKING SECURITY RISK TO MICROSOFT - THE RISK IS THAT MICROSOFT CAN'T MAKE A GOOD FUCKING BROWSER IS THE RISK. IF ANYTHING SAFARI PREVENTS DOWNLOADS, WHENEVER I DOWNLOAD SOMETHING, SAFARI LETS ME KNOW THAT THERE IS AN APPLICATION INCLUDED AND DO I WANT TO CONTINUE TO DOWNLOAD IT.

MICROSOFT, SUCK MY NUTS AND TRY NOT TO FUCK UP PEOPLE'S COMPUTERS!!!!

 

I'm using Safari on Windows XP SP3 right now and I have never had a problem with it. I've had it since SP2 and I downloaded Safari the second it was released on Windows. I've never had a problem. I'm not quite sure about the security, but on http://www.apple.com/safari/ if you click the Security link on the left, Apple is proud of Safari's security. I'm sure that those articles you quoted are BS

 

I tried Safari (on Windows) but wasn't impressed...I returned soon to Firefox (and IE)

 

i dont like anything except internet explorer.. guess its cause thats what im used too.

 

I LIKE CAPS TOO. no seriously. do it again and i'll come to your house and beat you with my cat

 

This is a good reminder. Thanks man.

 

The fourth reason to avoid Safari:

They are now automatically downloading Safari onto Windows via iTunes...

You have to opt out...

That's right, you get their security risk even without asking for it...

Well..I do not own any MAC and I just never managed to run Safari on my PC .. it crashes before it starts !
And dont' have time to find look for remedy .. why it crashes on my PC as its not something very exciting (atleast for me) !

Though .. phishing etc.. is not a problem for me as I never believe browser and take my own precautions !

 

SAFARI not compatible with some css and xhtml.

 

The pages render badly because they are not made or tested for Safari...

 

i am happy with mozilla []

 

It is a security risk according to Microsoft..... I had to laugh at that one

Everything is a security risk according to Microsoft, except its own products that is.

 

All Safari is essentially Apple's in house version of IE.

On a Mac I would use Camino - on a PC, Firefox...

 

You should learn not to listen everything you read... especially when it's a competitor complaining about another competitor.

Microsoft owns IE.
Apple owns Safari.

Should be obvious Microsoft would say something bad or negative towards Apple about their browser... use some intelligence it's a great browser much more ahead of time than IE.

 

In my opinion the only browser worth using nowadays is FireFox. Even Opera has last its original shine...

 

I used Firefox for about 8 months and just last month I switched to Safari. I like it better, it's faster and lighter. I've never used it on windows, but I expect it to be crap. It works beautifully on OSX though.

 

I like Safari's design, however it seems it doesn't clear cache very often because
after several hours of radio listening it ate most of system memory. Since is kind of new, they will fix it in the near future.
