After having to use Firefox and Google Chrome for a few months (when I didn't 
have time to sort out a problem with Safari and an extension, probably 
1Password, that was causing it to crash all the time) I am really glad to come 
back to Safari.

Apart from the fit-and-finish of Safari (e.g. Tops Sites) I really noticed a 
difference in:

1) Printing - printing on Safari seems to be leaps and bounds ahead of the 
other browsers, in terms of how the content is formatted and the printing 
results, and 

(I know printing results can depend on style sheets etc., but this was 
comparing printing the same Web app page with Safari and Firefox).

2) Reader - this is becoming a feature I really like about Safari and, although 
I tried a plugin for Firefox, it was no where near as good (or as successful) 
as Reader in Safari.

There are as well many other little things (e.g. how Safari handles downloads, 
and not requiring a restart to add an extension) that make Safari a great Web 
browser.

Of course, Google Chrome may be a bit faster and Firefox has all the Web 
debugging tools (not that Safari and Chrome don't have some as well) and I tend 
to have all browsers running most days for different logins etc.

However, I'm generally really impressed with Safari and its great to back.

Cheers,
Ashley.
