Safari now for Windows too
greenMonkey:
Apple has released a public beta version of Safari for Windows.
I'm using it now, it's pretty cool. I think Firefox is still faster for me though.

Actually I think Safari is one of the fastest browsers around since it uses the KHTML rendering engine (Slightly modified from whats used by KDE I think)...
Yep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML wikpedia confirms it, from the article:
--- Quote --- KHTML is faster than the Gecko layout engine, its main open source rival and core of the Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox browsers, among others.

I use Safari in OS X (using version 2.0.4 (419.3) at the moment). It missing a lot of features I like in firefox (Tabbed windows and spell checking are the two major ones), It also has a new habbit of being awkward to extract the url from objects your viewing (eg if you right click a picture you have to open it in a new window to get the pics url, though it does have an option to copy url to clipboard which sort of makes up for this)
edit: Performance may be slowing down for the original poster because of computer resource issues (lack of ram) or similar, i'd be interested to see what it's memory foot print load time etc is compared to firefox.
greenMonkey:
I miss Adblock. I think that might be one of the reasons Firefox is faster for me, as it does not load many ads at all, while Safari does load all ads.

Safari does have tabbed windows, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean. You might have to turn them on in the preferences, but they're there.

Wow, must be buried somewhere I've been using Safari on my laptop for a while haven't noticed the setting It could be like the popup blocker, which is pretty un-intuitive to enable. I was kind of getting sick of having to press FN F9 every time I had a heap of browser windows open. I'll have a look for it next time I fire up my laptop.
