Ok I installed Safari .... not at all impressed. Found it quite slow and hard to navigate to the things I wanted, I didn't like the fonts it used or the style of page presentation. The whole thing seems, to me, to be designed by/for "boy racers" who want to download music and games .... neither of which interest me.
I have now uninstalled it and reverted to Firefox.
Thanks for the tip off 'bout it but it's not for me. noooo:
It has some Apple-like tendencies that I’m working my way around but it is significantly faster on my PC than IE7.  confused:

Agreed…

It doesn’t show previews
If you switch to Word it doesn’t refresh the screen
On the Cyprus Forum It puts all emoticons at the end of your post  Banghead
You can’t have multiple home pages
I can’t see how to get it to show images full size (it scales to the screen)  eyes:

It is bloody fast tho.  Banghead

What's IE8 like speed wise?
