lie, in below aspects its slower than firefox.
1. the urlbar of safari is not smart enough to help users reaching the websites theywant, firefox can save them up to 15 seconds here.
2. build-in FAYT in firefox save you 1 second
3. drop down menu with list of most visited websites at urlbar save mice users another 1-15 seconds.
4. allowing users to download different files into different folders save another minutes or so since users don't need to later go through every folder to re-arrange their downloads
4. search among large amount of downloads in download manager save users potentially <1 minute to 20 minute, depends on how many downloads you have since last time clearing the list.
5. DNS problem with safari will delay users for unknown amount of time, rare situation tho.
6. ability of saving more than one pair of usernames/passwords on same webpage save many users at least 10 seconds
7. notification bar for passwords remembrance save users unknown amount of time when they got the password wrong.
8. able to handle ftp protocol directly save users another 1-10 seconds

or you think those time isn't time?😛 you have been spreading too much misinformation already, your "all aspect" is only supported by a JS test and derived from your own personal experience which many people previously told you that may be a problem with your own computer. Its quite irresponsible for you to make such statement like you made above, it really amounts to slander.🙂
why? because I will tell him/her to try out firefox 3.5 today? Did I ever deny a problem of firefox if its true? Pixel scrolling is fixed in firefox 3.5, you dont want him/her to be informed about this? 😀
To OP, generally safari should be stable enough for day to day use. you might want to do a reset of safari and see if it helps.
Shame most of those are useless, and Safari rendering pages a second or two quicker every time will add up to much more over a day.
I don't use drop down lists. Irrelevant.
I use cyberduck for FTP, FireFTP and all the integrated ones suck. Irrelevant.
Most people don't have more than one account per site. Irrelevant.
URL bar is not smart enough. Are you retarded? Type in a damn URL like a normal person. How is it not smart enough? URLs are URLs, it's definitely "smart" enough to direct me to a site. And how the bloody hell does using Safari's URL bar take fifteen seconds. On Firefox, I type "www.macrumors.com ENTER" on Safari I type "macr ENTER". Safari seems faster as I type less. Point both irrelevant and wrong.
I don't know what FAYT is. This tells me I'd never use it, or it's at least irrelevant for me.
I want my downloads in my downloads folder, not in some other folder. Point irrelevant.
I keep my downloads organized, nor do I download much so I do not need to search for them. Irrelevant.
Wow, I must say I was hoping you'd make at least one point correct. You sound like a beat-up fanboy who can't get his facts straight. You like Firefox, we get it. I prefer Safari, it's proven to be faster in page rendering, and while it doesn't have a plethora of useless add-ons that I'd never use, AdBlock and Glims do more than what I'd ever need.
Stop being so foolish and realize different browsers are made for different people. Firefox isn't made for everyone, that's why a lot of us like Safari, it just fits into OS X better.
