I saw that Apple has released Safari 4 Beta

I love the way that Apple approaches design and I keep hoping upon hope that they will someday deliver a better, faster  browser instead of one that seems fast for a few things but cannot be your day to day default browser.

I think Firefox is great, fast and ugly.  I know you can skin it, etc.  You cannot turn an ugly troll like Firefox and Explorer into a princess like Safari 4 Beta.  You also cannot teach that princess (Safari 4) to walk and chew gum at the same time.

The game changer might just be Opera 10 (now in Alpha) which I will cover in a separate review.

Here are the raw browser speed test results for Firefox 3.06, Safari 4 and Internet Explorer 8:

Now just wait a second, you say, that’s not right, I thought that Firefox was the fastest!

In actually fact, it’s the fastest stable/compatible browser and today, in my humble opinion the one you want to use as your day to day default browser.

If you want a car to go really really fast, just take out all the things that weight it down, like brakes for instance!

While Safari has great speed results (especially considering how bad they were before under Safari 3) it could not even post this article.  It’s simply not compatible with major web applications like WordPress.

Explorer 8 has continuous crashes and strange bugs relating to Adobe flash.

Firefox is the worker that needs no management.  It’s the only one I update this site with.
