As an avid mac user i was glad when safari was first introduced several years ago. Since then my brother (a pc user) has introduced firefox to us all. I love firefox, and it work very well and is much more secure, on a PC that is. On the mac I have had considerable difficulty with firefox, and in my experience it tends to crash rather often. Thus when using a mac, i use safari, and when using a pc i use firefox. As GDeeeeeZL mentioned, there are a few things that safari cannot do, but then no browser, or program is perfect. Anyhow that is my 2 cents! :-) PS. If you ever switch to a mac let me know! :-D Bon jour! As an avid mac user i was glad when safari was first introduced several years ago.

Safari has the added advantage of being 2-3x faster than Firefox on my Mac. Unfortunately, Safari is not always the best browser to use to access certain media files (i.e., some videos on CNN.com, etc.) or to complete forms online like FAFSA. I don't believe this is due to shortcomings with the actual programme but is likely due to web sites warning that their pages may not be viewed with Safari. Also, if you're a GMAILer like me, you should note that the Mac version of Safari does not allow for GMAIL chat. As such, I have to appropriate Firefox to open my GMAIL account notifier when I check messages. All in all, with these two browsers working together I get full functionality.
