pcworld.com— Apple's Safari, Mozilla's Firefox 3, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 duke it out to be the program you use most on your PC.

Buried. Maybe one day they'll give an accurate and non-biased review, but I won't hold my breath. Firefox is the fad right now, so every hipster is going to act like it's the best.
Why kill the process? Tell it to reopen the tabs from last time when you run Firefox, and turn off the "close multiple tabs" warning. Then you get the session-saving functionality while exiting Firefox normally instead of killing it through the process manager.
You can't be "more" acid compatible. You either are or you aren't. That's the idea of the test, after all. And, while Acid 3 may be superior on Opera and Safari, that doesn't mean much. In fact, for my every day browsing, it means abso-f**king-lutely nothing. As for being free, I never said it wasn't. I said I paid for it long ago, when it was being charged for, to illustrate I wasn't making s**t up and that I've, you know, actually used it.
I see the Opera fanboys are digging me down. Classy. Very classy. Way to know your own browsers history. In no way could it even be remotely stated that Opera "used to be one of the most popular browsers.""Up to this point, Opera was trialware and had to be purchased after the trial period ended. But version 5.0 (released in 2000) saw the end of the purchase requirement. Instead, Opera became ad-sponsored, displaying advertisements to users who had not paid for it."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Browser#History">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Browser#History</a>
Why the f**k is Flock always thrown into these discussions? If you're going to compare Flock to the rest, might as well add Google toolbar to IE7 and call that a separate browser and throw it into the comparison as well.
I use Safari on my Windows machine, and I don't ever plan to use another browser. It is everything I could ever want or need! The others are all crap to me :).

Take the acid2 & acid3 Browser test. Safari passes the 2nd acid test, and scores 75/100 on the 3rd acid test one of the best browsers out there!
