Quite honestly, I prefer it a lot more than Firefox. I've used Firefox for quite a while (started during NSider so around 1.5 years?), so I know all about Mozilla. If you ever get the chance, try out Chrome. In my opinion, it is the best browser for Windows users available.

Whether you agree with that or not, I'll let you decide.  :3

Yes it does. There's no extensions for it yet but they have planned it for future releases.

Cool!  I'm using it right now, and I have to say, it's not bad. :3

It looks like it doesn't do the avatar reflections well, though.

Yeah that is odd and annoying, but I don't even want those things. It's really a nifty browser though.

i used to but i've switched back to safari

so far all the browsers i've tried on os x suck in one way or another (some suck in more than one way  madood;) and safari's no exception but it's a little less buggy and doesn't have as big a problem with memory as firefox (but it still eats up lots and lots and it's still got the problem of "i don't feel like loading pages any more" that firefox has when it's open for a very long time with many many tabs and lots of browsing history) and the scrolling is smoother
i had to install a couple of mods to get the functionality that i wanted though and i still don't like safari that much it's just marginally more usable  akudood;

this is what drugs do to you, kids

Safari and Chrome are the best browsers I've ever had the pleasure of using. Mozilla can suck a cock.

Safari for Windows is better than Firefox, in my opinion.

For Windows:

Chrome > Safari > Opera >  Firefox > Internet Explorer

Hmm, Safari seemed to work well on my laptop, so that's off what I'm basing my opinions.

Firefox is slow, and Opera distorts things on here. Safari works fine, which is why it got where it got for me.

Chrome, on any Windows system I have used, has worked the best.

I like Opera best of all browsers.
I like Chromium better than Chrome, for the very simple fact that Chromium actually has scrolling when I click the mouse wheel down (which happens to be the type of scrolling I use 99% of the time in any computer programs).
Then after that I like Firefox next.
The only browser I think fails notably is Internet Explorer. For uh, more than obvious reasons.

It's a little ugly in my own opinion, and I dislike how there's no menu bar like in IE and FireFox.

Do Macs come with Safari instead of IE?  I tried Safari, not my favorite browser, but a lot better than any IE.

I heard IE8 is going to suck.  Will it at least have a built in spell check?  I hate how I can't delete individual sites from the drop-down address bar like I can in FireFox.  I also love all these little add-ons you can get for FireFox.
