    Ive never heard of it before, which means, usually, that it isnt good.

    I suggest Safari 3.1.2 for Windows - For the best speed over any browser

    I highly recommend it.

    Runs a lot better than IE6/7. I mainly use it for my Eee PC which requires the least CPU intensive program. :/

    EDIT: Oh, and if you do plan on using it.. make sure you download the newer one (2.1) as opposed to the Classic version. A lot more stable.

    It's based off the same engine IE uses, so you'll have that nice compatibility. Plus it has those extra features.

    I might give it a try.

    actually the only thing i dont like is that its based on ie7.. BUT that may make it nice in a way since nearly everything will prob run ok and render ok on ie.. almost all things are wrote for ie.. seems to be a issue for opera and ff3..

    Maxthon is actually good and is a recommended browser. but it feels so much like IE so I stay with IE. Safari is also good and so is Opera.

    I agree, i used FF before Safari for Windows came out and had a few problems.

    But, most things are configured for Safari also because its used in OSX. Ive never had a problem in Safari as i did in FF
