A new browser has just landed in windows land.

It's all lost and confused and scared that everything cool it can do is a plug in for Firefox (though with less memory leakage, I would hope)

Still, competition is a good thing!

Apple is pushing AJAX in Safari as the dev platform for 3rd parties on the iPhone. I think this has something to do with it.

Gave it a go and got quickly annoyed by the mouse controls and shortcuts.

I read about that too and all I gotta say is; GIVE US NATIVE SUPPORT APPLE!

Smokin' fast. That's all I can say (the Apple version, anyway) -- Mozilla's flexibility is great but with all those extensions you need added on, it's a bit "heavier" on the "scale" for a lot of people.

I like how the news articles talk about how difficult it will be for Safari to get its foot in the Windoze Uzerz door -- mentioning the 80% market share that IE has and the 15-ish% that Firefox has. But absolutely NO mention of how IE had like 95% for so many years (due to the default installation on the OS, natch) and how the huge loss in a handful of years is a result of users getting sick of security holes, patches, crashes, and of course the notorious Microsoft Making Default Choices For You Even When Before The Upgrade You Chose The Opposite

GL Apple and Mozilla -- may the consuming public be the beneficiary of your feature-clashes

[Mr. Analog]

I'd be careful with it, some major holes in it already.

Grain of salt of course...
