Windows IE uses ClearType for fonts whereas Apple doesn't seem as they are using the same. As a result, if you zoom your page, you can see the jagged saw toothed edges on the font. P.S: I downloaded safari today itself, so I guess Apple folks haven't yet fixed it. It isn't really a bug, but the technology itself.

I know one big opera fan who shifted to firefox :) Yeah safari is taking lot of memory, but i am expecting it to correct in the stable release. Regarding fonts, I did read in a few places where they saw fonts getting screwed, but I had no issues. Guess apple fixed it silently :) Yup there are a lot of opera lovers out there..

Opera lovers.. :D Venu, check out the memory usage in case of Safari..a total let down on that front, so much that I instantly took a snapshot with Opera running the same web pages too. Compare that <a>here</a>! Damn how about the fonts rendering on Safari? Oh man.. am at the write place.. Opera lovers.. :D

I am very much comfortable with UI as well as I have got used to it and there are some remarkable features in opera. May be I should write a post about that. :lol: I have never faced any problems with opera. :D And that’s the reason why I have been using it all these years right from version 5.0 (if my memory is correct).

Every time I hear about opera, I do open it once and try it out. somehow not comfortable using it. Not sure why :). It is fast, no doubt about that, but there is something wrong in the UI and the page rendering (font etc) which drags me back to Firefox. Ah still with opera ..

Opera is going to be my primary browser and Firefox as secondary. :) Though I have installed safari to check how my blog looks in Safari but I feel Opera is much faster than Safari from my experience (atleast for me).
