Browsing through Browsers

Haaa.. feels good to be blogging again after a long long time, lot of things goin around these days, blogging was almost last on my mind, but then i finally decided that i need to get back to my blogging ways.

While wandering throught "w3schools". i came across an interesting piece of info, which showed that the most widely used Web Browser for the last month, is I.E(not that we couldnt guess this, but stats make a point)
followed by Netscape,
followed by Mozilla,
and then Firefox.

Well i know, none of this so far is interesting,however, what did catch my eye was that no where does it even mention "Safari", now this is interesting,coz Apple claims Safari to be the fastest browser on any platform, coz i personally have been using safari for quite some time now and i believe  its got one of the best UI, simple, sober, looks like a document with 1 single layer, looks really cool( a little similar to iTunes).Built-in RSS. The find option is not a small annoying pop-up window that open up in IE.Its a super cool division at the top of the page, where you can enter the text to be found.
One of the best features i would say is the "private browsing" option, when you have this option checked, u dont have to worry abt, deleting the cookies, deleting the offline contents, no info is saved for the auto filling options, has a cool downloads window, which shows a list of all your previous downloads, and a small open icon next to the file name, to open the folder in which its saved and a lot more...

I feel, Safari is one of the best browsers...There is a drawback though, right clicking on the images doesnt give you a properties option for you to check the image name, so for guys who develop websites and web app, with loads of images in it, this can get a little tedious, it does get a little tedious when you dont have the right images at the right place, or similar looking images with different names, but all in all the browsing experience is just amazing.
