I love it's speed, I don't like it's page widget rendering (Aqua widgets on Windows = not quite right). Though having said that I'm terribly disapointed with IE8. It's Java script support seems to be getting worse and worse. Gotta admit, Mike, I’ve had a love hate relationship with Safari for a number of years.

Ace review heheh, I think from your graphs there I would say rendering Javascript effects wise Opera is damn fast, I find it quicker/smoother to render moving divs than any of the others atm The main thing about Safari is its horrible default overrule on its text styles and that it doesn't like multiple monitors that well, well not my 3rd monitor, it refuses to go full screen at 1280*1024, how bizarre is that.

And not just that, but Safari 4.0 appears to have come out of nowhere to almost (and we're talking only a few small percentage points here) wrestle with Chrome for the title of all time best performing Javascript and Rendering combined browser. And what of Internet Explorer 8.0? It looks like Microsoft are hitting back with this video: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/videos.aspx?mname=IE8_Perf_Test2 (I'm watching it now) Well, yes.

What is interesting is that the battle has shifted from rendering engines e.g. WebKit, Gekko to javascript engines. Safari is a bit of a resource hog but unused memory is wasted memory right? ;-) I am now using Safari 4 as my default browser as I really make use of the coverflow view in bookmarks and browser history.
