I'm using Safari on XP (despite the security and font bugs) and find
it adequate for English, but unusably broken for Japanese.
Bugs: Fat download: at 8 meg, it's twice the size of most browsers. Messy installation adds sundry non-safari junk to windows and other folders. Builtin font anti aliasing blurs text, especially in menus. Can't resize window from sides. RSS feed reader works on engadget but not on gmail. Space and shift-space scroll
HTML pages but not RSS feeds. Can't save complete web page (with embedded media). Tab window diversion doesn't (e.g., google docs litters screen with toplevels). Can't type Japanese into gmail
(dealbreaker for me). Scrambled Japanese in a google doc (likely misinterpreted encoding; dealbreaker). No type-n-go (rodent-free surfing). No bookmarklets with
arguments (like my delicious search). Blocks pop ups but not ads. No gestures. Safari's security holes make Internet Explorer seem safe!!!
Cool: Resizable text fields. Drag n drop tabs. (This should work on OSX too.)
