ah ah ah! Opera my man!
You know, I think something is new there then because the last time I tried Opera on the Acid Test it did not render that way. But I am glad it does.

On my system with Safari 3.01 crashes on some websites like:
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
Type something in and it crashes.
Does someone else have the same problem with Safari or is it just my system?

I have no problem running that page, or anything else for that matter.

Safari hasn't crashed on me once and the rendering of the acid test is spot on

I had the same problem on that page, but it wasn't until I attempted to select an option using the arrow keys after typing something in that it crashed. Damned beta.

And I don't know if anyone else has this difficulty, but when I minimize windows, I do so by clicking the bottom bar. However, even right clicking, Safari does not have a minimize option. The only way to minimize is from the top right bar.

Feels weird.

What annoys me most about Safari is that it only has one button instead of the standard two.

It's Apple, they always oversimplify.

I am obviously not seeing what you guys are seeing. I have three buttons (max, min, close). I can minimize from the upper bar or by using Ctrl-M or by going to Window->Minimize.

Ack, my mistake. I thought we were talking about the recent attempt to port the Apple Mac mouse to Windows - hence the Safari. :lol:

No, I was complaining that Safari doesn't minimize like regular windows.

You mean from the task bar? Remember, this is still beta software.

ok, I give up. It was ironic, a somewhat outdated sense of humour.

I guess it's hard to be ironic when you use a word (and capitalize it, too) the exact same way that everyone else is in a topic where we're all referring to it in a literal sense. Pretty easy to miss. :wink:
