First Impressions: Safari 4 Beta

February 25, 2009 · 27 comments

Those of you that have been following this blog for a while know that I have been in a cycle of switching between Firefox and Safari as my primary browser almost regularly. I’ve even gone way of Flock back in the day. However, I have always ended up coming back to Firefox.
