If Chrome is as annoying as Safari--on Macs and PCs--it should fail. I
hate it already! Safari is missing so many basic, useful features that
are common in Firefox/Camino/SeaMonkey. I rarely use Safari any more
except when a browser sniffer doesn't like geckos.
The Mozilla family of browsers are better. Opera is good, too. IE should
have died ten years ago.
