My comment: eff yeah.

Now what's holding back the rest of the population. I guess the word needs to be spread a bit farther.

I got everyone I knew on Firefox. Even all branches of family.

yeah i got a comment: soon IE will be safer because hackers will realize that FF is being used by more and more people and therefore start targeting FF users rather than IE.

on second though, maybe they will be equally dangerous in time.

on a different note: i love it!

IE is just worthless. FireFox still does some things I'm not happy with.

Long live Safari.

That's sweet. I've been using Firefox/Firebird since as far back as I can remember. So much better than IE.

I would like Safari more if it didn't totally annihilate some pages' designs.

Find me a page, and I'll tell you why it's page is annihilated.

Safari isn't perfect, but it has followed web standards better than any other browser I've ever seen. The chances of the page being displayed incorrectly because of Safari are slim, and if a web developer knew enough to create such a page, he is more than likely well aware of the issue and has altered his code to account for it.

It's a much greater chance that the web developer is just inexperienced and relies on browsers to make their faulty code work, which is the reason IE has become such a hated browser.
