If you want to stream videos, look no further than Safari. Also, you can expand textboxes as mentioned before. That's just cool.

Yeah I would get FF and Safari. Use Safari for streaming videos and FF for everything else.

Ive been a FF user for age's now but i downloaded safari today and it does seem alot faster than FF and IE and i think it looks better. But they need to make some add-ons for it like spellchecker, themes ect...

Firefox, has loads of good add-ons:
Addblock
Flashblock (yes i have to click play to see videos but i dont see those shitty 'stomp the spider to win' things, also makes the page load faster)
Less security exploits than IE.
Those quick links at the top, along with tabs (yeah IE7 has them but meh)
Looks better i think, more clean than IE7, still using pre FF 2.0 skin now.
Faster? meh less adds and flash to load so i would expect it to be faster.
I only use IE or opera when something very rarely wont work in FF, maybe a youtube video randomly wont load, or a page looks fooked in FF.

So this Safari does it block the adds on this site?
Does it have tabs?
Does it display all pages correctly? most sites are design to be viewed in IE.
Anyone want to explain if it dosent block adds how its faster?
