    Default Dirty secret: I love Safari on Windows

    After bashing Safari for Windows when it first came out, I have to confess something: lately I've begun to rely on Apple's browser. Not for everything, mind you. But the more I use it, the more I like it.

    The biggest reason: It's fast. It's faster to start up than Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Flock. And it's fast to load pages. Blindingly fast. Fast enough to make the Web feel more inviting.

    I also like how it displays text. Sure it's using a non-standard font smoothing technology, but I think it looks great.

    I don't like that my favorite plug-ins, Roboform and PicLens, don't work in Windows Safari. And I really don't like that there are security exploits emerging for Safari and that there's no open-source community to address them.

    But when I need a Web page loaded up fast, Safari is often the browser I turn to.

    I think i have enough browsers to keep me company for a while. I really don't need another, unless Firefox and Opera decide to do me something baaaad.

    I have never used it and won't be using it. Satisfied with using Firefox.

    AA wasn't the one who wrote the article. He was commenting and inviting comment on it.

    Read the first post again. Notice the quote and the source where I got the quote from? Also notice my comment below the quote.

    The title of the thread is the opinion of the person who wrote the article. Not me.

    From the reviews I have been reading both here and on the net, persons are liking the browser. So it seems to be doing well. Don't know about the memory consumption.
