re Safari on geek forums
The comments on the geek forums are not positive.
I'd not expect it to be so. I think Apple is aiming for the simple UI to handle a different crowd than the one that's coasting along with a carefully-assembled armada of Firefox plug-ins.
Safari doesn't pretend to be an expert system. Safari doesn't even by default enable spoofing user-agent strings, which I regularly need to do in order to access certain sites written to sniff user-agent strings as a proxy for functionality testing.
I'm going to guess that the early-adopters who are trying this out are also already using Firefox. I think Apple's target really is the 78% who didn't bother to change their browser, but likely have iTunes and would try an Apple product.
Just a thought.
Take care,
