    Is Safari better then all other browsers?

    Recently ( I think) I downloaded safari for my pc. It was faster then firefox and explorer combined, and it was pretty good looking also. The question is, has apple come up with the best browser ?

    To answer my own question, I think safari is the best browser, and im using as i write this post. Please let me hear you views on the subject.

    I do not think so, since Safari in some cases reads HTML bad compared to IE or Firefox.

    Although it may be "fast" acclaimed by you, I still think Firefox is the best overall in reading correctly how HTML Should be and it sustains with great speed.

    I think you're wrong about the html reading thing. All html is the same and im pretty sure Firefox and Safari and IE and Opera read it the same way.

    From Wikipedia:
    Code:
    It has support for CSS Web fonts and animations and improves support for SVG and HTML 5 media. 
    Performance improvements. Added automatic spell checker for searches.

    Yeah, but some browsers (Internet Explorer being the worst) don't interpret it according to standards, which is why people have to implement IE workarounds when designing pages. IE has a higher tolerance for bad code, too, which is why some people who design for IE make pages that look wrong in other browsers.

    I thought they called it Safari cause of the amount of CSS/DHTML and Java bugs you can find in it. Safari the best? not by a long shot you should give Opera a try. (PS I'm a Firefox user)

    I suggest everyone read that to compare FF and Safari.

    All that matters is FF3 should blow everyone away!

    Safari was quite impressive when it first came out against IE, but it hasn't gotten much better over the years and has accumulated many bugs. If you're on a mac, I can understand having Safari, but on a PC it makes no sense at all.

    In any case FireFox is better

    In my opinion Opera is the best browser. I am using it since 4 years.
    I tried many but found opera is the fastest among them. Try it once,
    and you will definitely like it. Firefox is also good browser and fast. But
    downloads and other user interfaces like mouse gestures, inbuilt email
    client etc made me stick to opera.

    Firefox can be tweaked, prodded and modified however you like with addons and the about:config page. I don't see who has a need to use Safari on a PC.

    FF3 looks good, but It'll take a while for all the awesome addons to get converted so that they run on ff3
