[Ham-Mac] OT -- Problems with Safari 3?

[Mark Cohen]

Safari has for a long time had a lot of problems rendering pages.  
Apple insists that they are doing the "right" thing, but in actuality,  
they are not following most of the RFCs.

Firefox is a superior browser in many ways and with the plugins, you  
can get it to accomplish most of what Safari does. (RSS feeds etc)

My company's product, which works flawlessly with IE and Firefox does  
not work with Safari..

The funny thing is, Apple is a large client of ours and we've  
submitted about 100+ bugs to them about Safari...
