Nah. It's crap. As every sensible person knows. Including Apple of

alone; I'd rather just use a decent browser. Which I do; Firefox.

Safari's always worked fine for me, from 10.2.8 onwards. On the rare
occasion where you get a badly implemented site that Safari doesn't like
I just switch to Firefox or SeaMonkey.

Yup, works well enough here too. I have found perhaps a handful of sites
that Safari doesn't work with. It has certainly worked well enough with
all my own banking sites anyway - HSBC, EGG, Halifax have all been no
problem.

Funnily enough, the only sites that do cause any problems are government
ones.
