I'm one of them. But 90 seconds later it was uninstalled.

Once you update to OS 10.6 it should be even less buggy due to the thread independent plug-ins.

Who's complaining about IE 8 being pushed as an automatic update? The more people off IE 6 (and for that matter, 7) the better!

Safari isn't what's pushing these standards; it's the [almost] nightly builds of WebKit. Essentially, Safari is just a refined nightly build.
