arstechnica.com — We put Apple's browser to the test and discovered that it falls short of Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. Far from being "the world's best browser" as Apple claims, Safari 3 suffers from usability deficiencies, text readability issues, and security flaws. It's not all bad, though.

Most of the people I know who got Macs use Safari.It is faster than Firefox and doesn't miss any feature, except maybe images auto-resizing.The search function was better in Firefox than in Safari 2, but it's now best in Safari 3.So. ?I bet Apple will come with a new beta version in a few days, and that it will be stable in a few weeks.I'll be happy to use Safari when using Windows on my Mac.

I am hoping this will strengthen the hand of KHTML. While I am a Firefox user, Its no good for just Gecko to be the only prominent rendering technology.

Because Camino is not compatible with Firefox extensions.

Who uses default browsers? I tried several times going to the Safari beta or Safari 2, but I'm just not leaving Firefox (on a Mac of course). I think Apple's making a huge mistake, and I was hoping they'd move closer to adapting a browser like Firefox or Camino and actually having it installed by default, since Safari is trash, IE is even more trash, I would hope Apple or Microsoft would lean towards scrapping their garbage browsers; but here they are moving away. This is probably on the only negative announcement at the WWDC keynote.

Okay, Hold on, I'm going to end this now, because its getting stupid.I don't care about being Dugg down, the world will keep on spinning, but I never once said IE for Mac was "Crap"."QUOTING MURDOC: 'I don't know why I'm being Dugg down, if you look at my previous posts I call IE for Mac "crap."'there you go buddy, you called IE crap. live with it. I'm telling Mrs.Wilson, and Gates."Well, I got caught in a typo, I will admit, theres suppose to be a don't in there, but I did however two post up say"I don't recall saying that IE for Mac was "crap", care to quote me?"'So... I never really said it, Escamillo had nothing to back that "quote" up on and this is the last post I will make on the subject.Oh and my opinion on IE for Mac is this; It ain't love, but it ain't bad.
