Screenshot of Digg.com in Firefox vs Safari on Windows
Egze posted this image to show how poorly Windows version of Apple’s Safari web browser rendered Digg.com web page on a Windows machine. It made a pitiable sight but I guessed that such problems should be showing up only on some computers. So I tested out Digg.com in Safari on my Windows machine and it came out just fine. Here is a screenshot(click to see the bigger version):

Download Safari for Windows and find out how it fares on your computer(It’s an ~8MB download). If you like it, go ahead and install the plugins too: Plugins for Safari.
I have been using Safari on Windows for a few days and neither its performance nor its stability has impressed me. To me it looks a long way short even from alpha stage. If its stability improves in coming days, it will be an invaluable tool to test out the websites without having own a Mac machine.
Is it a good time for someone to conduct a fresh benchmark of various web browsers(Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Flock etc)?
