Safari
I downloaded and installed Safari for Windows this morning. That's Apple's web browser. I just found out that it was available for XP and Vista so I thought I would give it a try. I am currently running Mozilla Firefox and have steadily been impressed with it's plugin's and performance. So, off to Safari. The install was painless but because it was a new browser it took me some time to get things the way I like them. I did notice a bit of an increase in speed. It loaded the majority of the web pages quite quickly. It is a simple looking web browser but I'm sure you can install themes to make it as pretty as you like. It comes with an array of built in bookmarks which I found handy. I don't know if Safari will end up being my default web browser but it's nice to have some different choices other than the notorious Internet Explorer. Now, if I can just wean Red away from IE. She's not one for change. *s*

I installed Safari as well. Turns out it's not a very secure browser.

PayPal has blocked use with its site. I also found it to be slower than Firefox.

Good info Shaps. I only used it for an hour or so and then went back to Firefox. I love all the tweaking I can do with this browser.
