Safari Browser

You want bloated? Look at Netscape

I didn't like Safari. I think it will just become one of those browsers that people use to make themselves feel special and different.

I prefer browsers that have a bit more substance to it anyway. I hate having to open new windows and new programs just so I can do different things that are kind of related (like IRC, browsing, RSS, music) , sometimes its better to have a bloated browser.

Oh and...

     Now, are they intending on also releasing a Linux version of Safari?

Dream on

I've been going off ff lately, the browser itself just seems slow - not just at loading pages but loading its self blah blah (could be something to do with the amounts of crap i download tho) only thing is, wtb noscript et al for opera or something :/

I have Safari on OSX but only use it on pages that do not support Opera. Which is almost never. I think I used Safari about three months until I stumbled upon Opera. Firefox I sped up and did a couple mods to it like ones listed here. It was nice but I seem to have  scrolling issues with it. Again, only used on non Opera supported pages.

If people with the original OS Safari was designed for have reasons to not use it oftenly, why should we try it then?

I ran the safari installer in wine just for fun.  It errors out, but it does extract a few nice ttf fonts which I promptly installed into my fonts cache - so its useful for legally obtaining those fonts I suppose.

As a Mac user, my opinion is that Safari is useless. I can't get much anything to work in it, and the browser pops up real fast when you start it, but pages come up really slow, and I don't like the way it loads them.

Wow. Nice criticism.

As long time Mac user (at home, meeting PCs at school/work) Im of course running Safari... I have tried IE (on PCs or Macs) which is useless. I have tried Opera and Firefox and Netscape and no thanks... Safari is quickest (yes it is, I dont understand what is Link talking about, what system and comp you have? :O), everything I found out works on it, it has everything I need. If you have found unsupported pages, its more their shame.

Safari 3 is beta, I have tried it, found and reported bugs and returned to older version. Wait for final release.

The browser moves fast, yes. It's not my system, I've ran safari on my Powerbook and Quadcore G5. I'm not talking about loading the browser itself, I'm meaning more the loading of pages. It's probably just my imagination though, you should ignore anything I say.
