I may be in love…

Sorry Al, but Safari 3.1.2 may be my new browser love interest. It’s fast, crisp, handles text just beautifully - it’s an absolute pleasure to use.
Firefox and I can still be friends though… I’ll call, I swear.

Hope you don’t need any security because Safari lacks key security features and doesn’t disclose much about security issues during its (infrequent) updates.
It also doesn’t support extensions. Maybe you don’t use those but I have about 10 installed right now.
By the way, I hope that you aren’t using Safari on Windows. It isn’t exactly Apple’s first priority to keep that version as up to date as the OS X version and they do a lousy job at that.

but, but… it’s so PRETTY!
damn you…
Seriously though, I’ve already ran into a number of technical issues with it - mostly along the lines of certain sites whose functionality just breaks… so that pretty much throws it out of the running for primary browser right there.
But MAN I do love its font handling… it’s like the new Safari is the inverse of the new Firefox - which has great security, but a lot of people are complaining about what it does to fonts. If only some mad scientist could fuse the best of the two together!
