I am using it now. And it is the fastest I think. But there are some things I really dont like. The skin it self sucks I think and the way text is shown. Cause on my site it comes up REALLY BOLD and looks ugly. And buttons are outlined in thick black(yuck).Everyone DL and enjoy thumbsup

EDIT- I also see NO AREA for making themes!! I wanna make one so badly. I also don't see an area in the Safari folder. I hope someone can find it! anino

Though the skin is like other skins from Apple I am surprised that they would release a skin like that without offering any others with the download or allowing people to make their own. It's odd since they want a bigger share of the browser market. The skin just isn't inviting. If they added a community for people to make extensions and skins like FireFox I bet Safari would be the best competion since IE does w/e the *beep* it wants

Downloaded it and it is so much slower than IE7. Ran a benchmark and IE7 came out on top with a big margin. Plus you are right, the designs is horrible. You can barely read the text on the tabs and no link information is a big security risk. How, in the world am I suppose to know what I am clicking on??????

It also looks like a skimmed down version of IE7. Now I remember a couple of months ago Apple saying MS Vista looked like OS10 or something or another. I wonder how MS is taking this...

I wanted to install it today but I have been overloaded with work.

Firefox is my main browser on my laptop (XP) and my currently working desktop (64-bit). The 32-bit desktop with Vista is down right now. That's the only OS on which I use IE.

Can anyone tell how it compares to FF? Thanks. smile

As of right now I highly suggest sticking with FF, especially if you have addons with FF. I also don't like that the X is on the left of the tab. sad

I do think that this browser has a lot of potential and it is still a beta and I am sure changes will be made once they see what everyone is interested in for a browser.

Don't like it -- looks like iTunes, directs me to some Apple advertising as the basic homepage, my own local html homepage doesn't work, skin is revolting, and if you really want FAST I would suggest using Netscape 7 instead rolleyes
