Didn't even have to read the whole article to know this.

Phones aside, Safari has not been that good recently, at least when it comes to the Windows version... v4 was, actually, kinda cool for its time, but other browsers were always more modern and feature-wise, and now that we have Safari 5, I can clearly see that it doesn't just struggle with other browsers, but also itself!

I'm not saying that it completely sucks; "the feel" while using Safari trumps every other browser (except Opera 11), the private browsing feature is unique compared to the same feature in other browsers; where Firefox completely sucks, not being able to separate a normal browser window and a private browsing instance at the same time; Opera 11 is the winner here, being able to run a normal and a private tab within the same window, a real lifesaver in certain situations.

This is all a purely subjective opinion, and I'll add to that the fact that Safari could be a great browser; certainly much better than it is now, but it needs a lot of work, which I don't really expect from Apple.

Have to agree Safari 5 is not good on Windows , I quite liked Safari 4 at least it worked properly but it was & is not very customizable.

Had to laugh at the demo of IE 9 competing against Firefox Beta 5 in the Fish tank demo.
He mentioned that IE 9 RC had been released so the demo should have been showing FF beta 11 the Firefox betas have been just as fast as IE 9 on the fish tank for months.
So typical of the bullshit Microsoft shovels on when talking about benchmarks.

If you want leaner on a phone try Opera Mini & let the Opera servers do all the heavy lifting.
