Gotta admit guys... this browser is the tuffest thing I've come across.. right now it's in Beta 2 and it's loads twice as fast as my I.E. for mac... and apple reports that it's even faster than Mozilla..

it's a beauty.. abandoning the trademark windows frames which was forced on even chromeless script users in I.E. 5.5 up is a site to see...

I loaded my page.. and went WOW... black straight to the corner of the page... my my my.. this is truly just like MAC.. exceptional design and visual favor.. with matching functionality... making it even MORE clear that windows is simply a degraded version of older MAC OS's - (Win XP looks and behaves ALOT like a watered down MAC OS 9... hmmmmmm.. I do declare ;) )

anyway.. just waiting for ore people to recognize and make THA SWITCH!!!!

remember that safari is built on top of the khtml engine from konqueror... that's why it's so great... it's built on open source technology.

;D

Well, unless you own a MAC right now, you can only drool over this browser. Wonder when (if the plan on doing so) they gonna port it to linux or windows. ::)

That may be true matronyx but ... I got konqueror (http://konqueror.org/) on linux (that's what safari was built on)

konqueror is to safari
what mozilla is to netscape 7

Yeah, we just have to wait a while before all the speed enhancements that IS safari begin showing up in Konqueror.
