Last night I was at a friend's house and as she was working on her computer, I had to do a double-take... she was using Safari as her web browser on her windows PC! Okay so maybe a Windows version of Safari has been around for a while and I'm just slow... but this afternoon when I finally had some time to myself I downloaded it. I've only been using it for an hour, but I'm not crazy about how it looks. It doesn't look quite as good as it does on a Mac, but it does it look okay. I am diggin' the bookmark bar, though.

So, my question is - which browser do YOU prefer?

Firefox drives me nuts... esp when i can't navigate simple "Mac standard" key strokes - such as pressing the "up" key to goto beginning of a text input field.. argh.

Firefox is also slow IME... the latest Firefox is a bit snappier tho. perhaps they're responding to the new Safari 3.

i kinda think Firefox is to PC (upgradeable/modifiable components) as Safari is to Mac (all in there, works right out of the box, but still upgradeable in its own way).

Safari ftw... for me.

Hi everyone!

I prefer Firefox, but it does seem to freeze up on occasion when I've left it open too long. Another issue is it appears to be loading a page but it never will. Safari seems to work when these pages don't load on Firefox.

I love Firefox, especially how you get to use the no page style option Smiling , plus it blocks all those annoying pop ups.

To me i think it runs faster, but im gonna have to have both running at the same time doing the same search etc...

Firefox >>> Safari >> Internet Explorer

I rarely hop on to Safari. It never really hooked on to me, and Firefox has treated me so well.

I have both Safari & Firefox on my Mac. I must say, somehow I like Safari better even if it doesn't work properly with a few sites (lika with GUG..sigh) and you don't have cool addons like Adblock plus and so on.

With the new update to safari ive found that on my computers that safari works alot better than Firefox. I dont neeed all that extra add on stuff that Firefox throws at you and i love the clean look of safari. The only reason i have Firefox is to view things that need "firefox with the google toolbar".

I have never used Safari before. I use Firefox on my PC, and I have no other reason to switch to anything else because I'm really happy with it. Anything is better than IE.

I also prefer Firefox on my Mac. I tried Safari for a while and I do like the clean interface but it does not have the add-ons that I have come to love on Firefox. Not to mention, I kept getting the spinning rainbow of death on Safari.

Is the bookmark bar different on safari than it is on Firefox?

At first I thought it was. I thought Safari bookmark bar was different in the sense that you could basically create a drop down menu/folder in the bar... but when I looked in Firefox after I made this thread, I found out you could do the same exact thing. But I do like the way the drop-down menus look in Safari better though. =o)

I really like Safari. Like you mentioned the bookmark bar is awesome. Sometimes I use Firefox on my macbook and it doesn't work as well, the links dont always work. But you probably won't have that problem on windows.

on my Mac i actually prefer Firefox.. IMHO Safari would be better than IE, but not as good as Firefox on a PC.
