fastest browser ever? not in my experience today, slower than firefox, more resource hungry than firefox, and less features than firefox (2). Think I'll pass.

It seems to be just fine on Windows XP here (through parallels)
This is a big screenshot of windows xp professional 32bit, running default installation on parallels on a mac pro, using default internet explorer 6, standard fresh install of firefox 2.0.0.4 and the beta of safari for windows.
right click & download because it's over 3300 pixels wide
And this one is the same, but now on vista 32bit, default install on parallels on the mac pro, using default ie7, fresh firefox 2.0.0.4 and the beta of sarafi for windows.
right click & download, because this one is big too
All sites load vbcom.
I also checked opera 9.21, but it gives an error in both xp/vista
I can't reproduce the errors users post in this thread btw, I've browsed about 15 different web sites, it loads just fine, loads very fast, and doesn't crash.Last edited by Floris; Tue 12 Jun '07, 2:58pm.

I dont like it. It's aesthetically horrible, trying to force a Mac look on my PC. Pages load a bit slower than FireFox thanks to it.
For now, I'll stick with Firefox on my PC, Safari on my Mac.

Edit: Also realized just now I can't middle-click to scroll...A major mistake on Apple's part. Also, scrolling takes forever with the mouse wheel. Definitely sticking with FireFox.Last edited by .Aro; Tue 12 Jun '07, 4:28pm.

PHP Code:if (strpos($useragent, 'applewebkit') !== false)

Would help considerably if the thing revealed ... oh ... toolbars for instance. Maybe this is just an indicator it's time for a reformat. Been about a year.

Usually parallels runs windows full screen on the right monitor in the background, so i can just 'cube effect' switch to it as if i am swapping computer.
