Anyhow, the blurred fonts do really disturb the nice picture. Also some of my sites do look different in Safari. One might argue this a problem of development, but infact it is impossible to go along for all browsers. So I´m sceptic both in view of user and publisher.

A huge amount of plugins and add-ons are really great. But!! I agree with you guys that on Mac - it's another story. I think - the future of all the systems is in hands of several men who are to decide: is it enough to have $40+ billions and try to make the life of ordinary users more difficult, or it is a real chance for them to be remembered as the first who had a great idea - unite all in one and build a real standard for both PC and Mac. Don't kill me here - that's what I really think In case we all do not pray for Mac – Mozilla is the best I think. A huge amount of plugins and add-ons are really great. But!!

I am curious, what are the build versions that people are using, has Apple updated already? My build is Version 3.0 (522.11.3), this was tested on a Mac under Bootcamp Acid2 renders perfectly in safari 3 for windows XP.

I would like to use Firefox for day-to-day but it is really hacked on the Mac. I use Firefox at work on my pc solely for the Firebug plug-in. Safari's Inspector is catching up but still has a way to go. Even though I have Firefox (and the obligatory ie) open on my pc at work I use Safari for all other browsing since it works very well and is very standards based. Firefox is pushing XUL and their own js extensions, IE is pushing proprietary ie-only browsing and Opera isn't as standards compliant as Safari. With the release of the iPhone, web sites can no longer ignore Safari without alienating young, rich potential clients. Imagine a fancy restaurant with a slick Flash based site losing out to another restaurant because the potential customer could check the address or phone number on the standards based competitor's site using her iPhone. As I wrote this I had fully spell checking and the ability to stretch the size of this text field so I could see the entire post. Cool, advanced features added without breaking standards. That's the way to build a browser. I have tried all the browsers on all operating systems and Safari is the best in a cross platform way (except Linux but Safari’s Webkit is used in Linux browsers).

We need this to develop cross-browser websites and now we don´t need to test it under MacOS. The Safari-Browser for Windows runs perfectly.

Why should a Windows user, who has access to all this wonderful browsers (Firefox, Opera and ... yes IE7 ;)), use this buggy Safari thingy ?! What this Apple browser really needs is some styling abilities for web forms - perhaps this should be part of Acid3 ;) I don’t like the browser on my Mac.

Is there a chance to create something unique in browsers like Google in search? Open source is a nice solution for all the Net applications and I believe we should use them for developing a more flexible platform for navigating the Net.
