Not impressed!!! Flash is even slower than in IE and the auto window size doesn't work. It also doesn't ask to keep password for you. Nice try, but I would like to see Chimera advance some more....

I like it. It's my default now as well.
Needs some work still, but much better than exploder IMO.

Have you guys tried any Flash movie? You can watch EACH frame individually it's that slow.

I really like Safari. I have only tried it out on my TiBook, but on this machine, it is very very fast. I have not found a page yet that I have had a problem with. I loved Chimera, but it crashed rather frequently. Also, it was not supported by my online banking service. Safari works quite well.
I used to use iCab as my main browser because of its speed and features/configurability. I resorted to IE for pages that wouldn't open in other programs, and OmniWeb for Unicode pages.
Safari does Unicode (I can throw OmniWeb away), is compatible with all of the pages for which I used to resort to IE (probably won't need that anymore, but I'm not throwing it away yet), and is speedier than iCab. I'll miss a few features from iCab, but for now, Safari it is, unless I encounter any major problems.
Safari still needs some features (e.g. the ability to relocate the cache, autofill, the ability to stop Flash animations, better Cookie management, etc.) and has a few bugs. The bookmark interface is heading in the right direction, but isn't as intuitive as Apple touts (try adding a folder).
I will admit that I haven't tried Chimera in about 3 months. I loved tabbed browsing, but it crashed too much, lacked too many features, and didn't do Unicode well. I haven't had any crashes on Safari yet. To be fair, I'm going to give a recent Chimera build a try, but when Safari is done, I suspect that it will be my browser.

as in, I DONT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SO FAR = PERFECT SO FAR.
And "SO FAR" does not mean it's completly perfect - but as perfect as I can see it SO FAR...
shesh!
(aside from Tabs of course)
ok...actually i just have a gripe with people who think just becasue something is "apple" its perfect, you know what i mean?. But checking out your profile and web site I can see youre not one of them.
I am right in hollywood, by the way, right by you.
Ahh, you thought I mean "Absolutely PERFECT with no problems what so ever" when I said "Perfect so far"... sorry no, I don't belive that anything of that definition of "Perfect" actually excists... there is no such thing as anything being truley perfect. 
And I like it that way!
Like me calling Safari "Perfect so far" is no longer perfect - I found a few problems, but then again I KNEW I would - I find problems in everything that excists in this world, so it was just a matter of time.
