i haven't had much luck with it...think i'll be sticking with firefox. i know apple claims it is much faster, but i'm not sure i buy it. i guess it's still a bit early for all the reviews to come out, but the safari 3 beta sure didn't seem to impress anyone.

As far as I am concerned, unless I am a hardcore Mac user, Safari browser should not even something to think about.
I have tried it for a couple of days now, it has crashed a few times, I have to admit that it is really fast, the interface still ugly, and the security claimed by Apple is not better than Microsoft.

They have added few more options, but none of them is really different from other browsers and the usability is still not better than any other basic browsers.

Firefox remains the best browser for the time being.

Do not use Google Chrome as google has a reputation for saving EVERY. SINGLE. THING. YOU. SEARCH.
not to mention it loads you up with tracking cookies every time you visit!
Very likely, Google Chrome is just another way they can mine information from you.

If your on a Mac, probably Safari. Only because its default. If your on windows, dont use Safari as they are a mass forced update to anyone who uses iTunes or Quicktime. (You can untick the update but it reticks it everytime you update iTunes or Quicktime and most users dont read what they are agreeing to)

Firefox would be your next bet. So if your windows (and seem to have something against Iinternet Explorer) then Id go Firefox.

It also ships with a Web Inspector (think Firebug), which allows you to break down a web page by listing it’s various files, drilling down to see computed styles and DOM info. At first glance this looked exciting and very promising, with “editable CSS” promised in the release notes. Unfortunately, you can’t edit the full CSS file (a feature we’d all love, and one that’s found in other developer extensions), but rather choosing “Inspect Element” by right clicking on a web page’s element will activate a semi-confusing-but-comprehensive status on that particular bit of code selected. I was initally confused by choosing “Inspect Element” on one of the CSS files in the list view in an attempt to edit it, only to find that the Inspector was in fact inspecting itself (which is apparently built with HTML and CSS). Heh, recursive inspection. Recurspection. Inspursive.

It seems I wasn’t the only one confused, with a chorus of Twitterers wondering the same thing: how the heck can I edit the CSS? The answer is by choosing “Inspect Element” from the browser window (a right or ctrl click), then double-clicking a property from the Styles sidebar in the Web Inspector — but not in the “Computed Style” box that’s also in the sidebar.
