No drop down arrow in the URL bar for history = Useless.

Until you close the program. When you launch Safari the back arrow
does nothing. Also there is no visual indication that tells you to
hold
down the back arrow to get this feature in Safari.

The down arrow in the IE address bar retains the history after the
program is closed, and it is available on launch.


This is a poor substitute for having a standard-compliant browser that
can render the web properly!

I don't have any problem with IE rendering the Web properly.

That's because the people who create the web pages you view have wasted
millions of hours working around IE's bugs.

What do I care about that? All that matters to me is IE works, it's not a
"poor substitute" for anything.


It's attitudes like this that have kept computing in the dark ages for the
last 20 years. As long as the world revolves around Microsoft and its numbing
lack of innovation, the computer interface, as we know it, will never evolve,
but will remain stuck in the 1980's where it's been since Apple introduced
the original Mac.
