Safari pwns IE

Nothing to see here

Benchmark wise, Chrome is supposed to be one of the best browsers you can get right now with Firefox & Opera right behind. Then IE9, then Safari. I read somewhere that the next Opera will be better, but Chrome will probably still edge those two out. I want Chrome, but they don't make it for anything lower than Snow Leopard

lol seriously?

been using it since I read it's a major improvement for IE. I find the UI to be almost the same as chrome (even more clean/pleasant than chrome imo), but still feel that chrome is faster.

has some integration though that is nice, like if you right click a picture, there's an option to "send as email" which automatically opens up outlook and has the picture attached to an email waiting for you to type in the address to send to.

it also allows you to pin individual sites to the taskbar, which for some sites that take advantage, can be useful (like facebook you can right click and choose to go directly to your inbox, events, other areas), though I like my taskbar nice and tidy and prefer not to have a bunch of sites pinned, but I'm sure some people will find it helpful.

all in all, I feel it was a huge improvement, but still slower than chrome, so I'm sure I'll be back on chrome soon enough.

Looking forward to trying it. Well, at work anyway, not at home. 7 and 8 have major compatibility issues with our firewall's content filter. Maybe 9 will come through strong.

The reason why I like Firefox is the add ons. The dictionary tooltip, just to name one, is so helpful when reading articles. Chrome hasn't come up with any meaningful add ons yet.

Internet Explorer 9 is not so bad. But i'll stick with Firefox.

Also, IE in general can be such a PAIN in the ass from a web development point of view... It took a good 3+ hours of extra work to get the sharing functionality working in TA photo gallery...just for IE...meanwhile all was fine in every other browser.
