Safari 4 beta
I'm sure you have heard that Apple has released a beta version of Safari 4. Since i'm a geek and find pleasure on just the idea of having smth to download (not a total lie) i downloaded it 2 days ago and have been using it since then.
Here is what i think of it.
I'm a mac guy now so i haven't had the chance to try out Google Chrome but i have seen it and now it's features closely so i can say that Safari 4 is like Chrome but with Apple's touch.
Rendering speed is awesome. It launches faster than firefox 3 on my MBA. Developer tools are awesome only that i need to get used to them. Overall it's an awesome browser and i'm sure that Apple sooner or later will dominate the browser market too.
Will i do the switch? No.
The lack of an "add-ons" variety is bad thing for me. I have found add-on replacements for almost everything i have on firefox but they are not free.
It would be cool if we had an add-on market like iphone has for apps.

I'm also a FF add-onholic... the only thing that stops me from swiching
"FF add-onholic" *lol* I need to remember the word, after all, with all my add-ons on Firefox, I'm one myself.
Safari is a good 2nd browser (relieved me from using IE) but there are many things I would miss, so I want switch. Another reason is, that Safari seems to be slower than Firefox on my Computer.
Safari?? - I think this is more a 3rd or 4th browser for me. Sure, better than IE, but Firefox is unbeatable until now.
