Anyone else using it?
I love it.
Faster than opera.
Just have to get used to the switch.

It's extremely fast.

Switching will be hard indeed, but I'm a bit tempted.

The only thing im not liking is the scroll speed compared to Opera/Firefox.

I know. It runs swimmingly on my Mac. After I do my GTX 295 step-up, I'll be doing a Windows re-install and will run Safari on there.

The native UI is good but it's a total rip off Chrome. They should have called it Chomafari. :D

Tabs on top is great, the less space used by browser UI the better.

And Chrome's base code is ripping off Safari (Webkit). So we'll call it even.

Webkit is opensource, anyone can make a browser from it. :rolleyes:

Doesn't change the fact that Safari has been around long before Chrome. Now back to the Linux forum with you.

It has been around for longer(which has got nothing to do with it) but it's UI has changed to the point of copying Chrome. I'm pretty sure that Apple made Safari 4 like it is to counter Chrome(one of the main reasons), it's a big threat to Safari.

Some of the features are pure duplication, tabs at the top, sliding tabs, single icon layout each side of the address bar/search bar, most viewed webpages on start with previews, bookmark icon on the front of the address bar..

This is from the same people who claim Safari is "The world’s best browser."
