  "Venture Beyond Explorer"

  by gotocell on November 6, 2009

  Pros: It is clear and fast, making it so easy to switch from one thing to another.

  Cons: Can't think of any.

  Summary: Not sufficiently well-versed in browsers to compare, except with Internet Explorer. The reason I got another one was that an e-book would not download, and the help team eventually suggested I tried a different browser. The result was that using S... read more

  "The best Safari yet, but it still lacking some features"

  by Issaland on October 22, 2009

  Pros: Safari has the nicest and the most elegant interface. Thanks to Cover Flow you can search through your top sites, searching history or bookmarks.
  You can add your fav websites to Top Sites or to Bookmarks Bar to have them always handy.

  Cons: Safari is still a bit slower than Google Chrome which also have WebKit engine.
  It checks spelling just in English.
  It doesn't have option to show tab and windows from last time (you need to search them through whole history).
  No ad block option.

  Summary: Safari is better and better. Has more functions than ever. It has all page zoom (which was lacking in previous versions).I wish to have ad blocking functionality like in Opera.Safari isn't the fastest browser, at lest on my PC. Chrome is the fastest ... read more

  "The new interface features add an element of cool."

  on October 10, 2009

  Pros: I like the new interface and the speed of browsing. I didn't have any issues with plugins or installation that other people complained about. The menu bars a are compact and don't take up as much real-estate on my monitor as Internet Exploder 8.

  Cons: It has caught up with IE when it comes to consuming resources.

  Summary: Even with the memory issues, it's a much better browsing experience than IE or Firefox. RAM is cheap enough these days to make this a non issue. read more

  "Probably the fastest but not the best"

  by hf96 on October 6, 2009

  Pros: Lightning fast browsing
  Great interface
  Amazing graphics and effects
  Top sites tab is nice
  Bookmarks in cover flow is spectacular

  Cons: Eats more than 70MB
  Can get stuck on older computers/laptops
  You need a good graphics card to handle the eye candy graphics
  Sometimes shows error reports when using facebook chat
  Can be a little hard to get used to

  Summary: It is definitely the fastest browser but it eats up a lot of memory and needs a good graphics card to handle it's over the edge graphics. read more
