I was ordered to download this *Glares at several klikers*
Have they fixed the awful typing bug yet? For some weird reason my IE does not let me log in to Myspace and Facebook (lol because they're my life, innit) so I use Safari, but Im sick of it entering wwww.myspace.com or faceebook.com
Also Safari crashes for me when on myspace
Guess it's time to download firefox

Yes, go firefox, though lately it's been a bitch to me.

Safari on Windows is a bit of a mixed bag. It lacks the cool-as-hell OSX features like on the fly spell checking and a warning if you've entered text on a page and attempt to close the window. Heh, they've even released a much needed security update for the Windows version since there's so many security holes in the core OS . But the expanding tabs, resizable text input bits, that beautiful search system, better predictable URL input, Autofill and the speed keep it on my system.
They were right about speed though. It's noticeably faster than IE6 or 7, even faster than Firefox on my Core2Duo. Really does fly. Just hope the Windows version gets OSX versions features sometime soon.
Way I see it Firefox has all the features, Safari gets you there quicker and IE is just dangerous. And Opera is terrible and slow.
I tried Safari for the first time when I get my 2.4Ghz C2D Mac Book Pro last week (had to brag). It seems perfectly functional, but Firefox still gets my vote because of all the add-ons and seemingly better compatibility with some of the sites I frequent.
Opera is pure shite. It's slow, annoying, and it doesn't seem to render anything right.
IE7 is a ticking bomb, and I hate the way it says "BEHOLD MY TABS! SUPER NEW INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY!" every time you open a new tab, when it's like the last major browser to implement tabs. Jeez!
Ppfftshwhat? Opera renders perfectly for me, and it's really fast. When was the last time you tried it?
The version before the latest one was better though; this newest one has a few bugs.
Unless you mean opera for mac. That is a hideous piece of crap.

Opera is completely W3 standards compliant, so it should render web pages the best. It's extendable, was the first to have tabs, and um, that's all I know.
I still like Firefox more. Probably because it has a bigger user base and therefor more extensions & support.
Yeah, use firefox.
Safari seems ok, but developers only really build sites for IE and FF right now, and Safari appears different in some aspects. Other bad things too, at least in the windows version.
The safari beta is fast but too buggy for me. The mac version didn't go to site right and crashed a lot. The windows one worked fine at school, and on my Windows.
Firefox is the best.
Opera is nice too and also a W3 standard browser.
I use it on my Wii and it's VERY good and view sites perfectly right. (Unless the developer wrote it for IE and then changed to code to work also in Firefox instead of JUST making a valid code that works for everyone)
Safari is also standard, but it's only good for Mac.
On Windows it just looks awful.
IE is non-standard (Unless you call Microsoft's HTML a standard) and insecure.
IE6 is just a spyware magnet (major features missing) and IE7 is a ripoff.
If I recall correctly, Safari is the only browser that actually renders everything correctly.
I think Opera is really annoying. I'm not saying it's a bad browser, but I just can't work with it efficiently.
And what I hate is that people keep complaining about how Safari on Windows sucks. It's still in beta, fools And I see that everywhere, not only in forums with users complaining, but everywhere on the news on the internet. "Safari beta has bugs", oh no how suprising. Why do they take down Safari so much? It doesn't make sense!
