It looks like a quality product from Apple. If you need to juice your pc like me than stick to good old mozi. But if you have a good pc give it a chance. Safari needs more ram than Mozilla.

But I doubt it. If it is please tell me. I love firefox but I need to know if Safari is lighter on resources. But I doubt it. If it is please tell me.

I was a long time FF user on all of my Windows computers. When I switched to Mac I downloaded FF immediately and had strong reservations about using it on my MacBook. It seemed clunky and unpolished. And i don't need nor care about extensions. Don't get me wrong because FF is great for what it is and it does what it's supposed to do really well. However, Safari is simple, elegant and efficient and it's my browser of choice. Surely you are mistaken…. I was a long time FF user on all of my Windows computers.

If I enter something wrong on Safari, then find out it was wrong, it's just a pain in my ass to go delete it. Just one of those small things that added up with everything else, will keep me with Firefox. -In addition: Firefox’s newer feature that allows you to store you password AFTER you login (or unsuccessfully login) is a big plus.

But I'm afraid I can't go on, Firefox beats Safari in every aspect that is important to me. On many issues they are equal. Occasionally I have found Safari to play a few videos better (ESPN Sports center will play continuously on Safari but not FF, weird?) and will have an occasional website displayed better that FireFox for mac can't handle. But the overall speed of FF is way better than Safari. Sometimes photos on Safari may load 5-10 seconds slower than everything else. FF's add-ons will also keep me with FireFox, I just open Safari now when I need it. If Safari can fix load times and gets add-ons I'll start using it again.

But because it's based on Firefox, the best of Firefox's famed extensions work on Flock. Also, Flock has nifty built-in social networking apps, so you can spend more time surfing the web and less time trying to stay "checked in" on multiple networking sites. I've been using Flock for about four years (beta versions), and it is by far my favorite browser, and I've extensively used Firefox, Safari (including trying Safari 4), AOL, IE, Seamonkey, and even Opera. Flock is not only a fun browser; it's fast, it's useful, and it's getting better with every new version. Yes, it’s time to switch from Firefox…to Flock.
