Think back. Everything that Apple has ever done comes with a godly amount of sensational, “ignore the facts” amount of brilliant PR. General public can not tell fact from fiction, specially when it comes in a shinny package.

It’s clearly obvious that you “idiots” on this website don’t know much about Safari or Apple. And to the person who said Safari was a Chrome clone — I have two words for you: EPIC FAIL.

Post something with facts next time, Fav Browser guys. You’re no better than Apple, “bullsh*ting people.”

Yes, Safari 4 beta is an uncreative clone of Google Chrome. Stop calling people idiots and upgrade to the bleeding edge of plagiarism.

Buried

To the idiot that said Safari was a Chrome copy, ahem, idiot, Safari was released BEFORE chrome.

Chris:

Safari is not a Chrome replica; Chrome is a Safari replica. Safari has been around a lot longer than Chrome.

Safari 3 was released before Chrome, but Safari 4 is a Chrome clone because it looks and acts like Chrome (tab handling, top sites, etc.), and was released after Chrome.

Chrome 2.0b and Opera 10a1 both pass acid3. What apple should’ve said was that their team was the first one to create an engine that passed acid3, but Opera was a close second (in fact, opera passed it first but only because of a bug, and they had to correct it). Safari 4b is the first apple browser to actually pass acid3, and it’s not the first ever. Its engine was the first (but so was chrome’s, because it’s the same engine), but that means nothing.

>Would you mind pointing out a stable release (for users) of another browser that passes ACID3?

“Another”? That would imply that Safari 4 is a stable browser, which isn’t. That’s what the beta is there for.

Well, no web browser at all is better than Internet Explorer :-)

However, I’d have to argue against Firefox’s stability. While using Firefox, crashes were fairly frequent, usually on really media heavy websites (ex: YouTube). Conversely, I have not had Safari 4 crash yet.

Actually, that reminds me of my first experience with Firefox, in the form of Firefox 2 on Windows ME. I loved it at first, but then YouTube stopped working (It would start to load a video, then the browser would crash). I eventually went back to IE 5.

I can’t argue for security for either browser, I usually stick to websites I’m familiar with.

On the subject of features, this seems to be a matter of personal preference. Add-ons are not the world to me, and I only used two add-ons on Firefox: Brief, for feed reading, and Foxmarks, for bookmark syncing. Both of those I can easily do without. I frequently use the coverflow-style history searching in Safari 4, and love the Top Sites page (I use it instead of a home page).
