Safari: be careful!
voidmain:
Not logging in as root doesn't protect you from outside crackers as much as it protects you from yourself, and exactly this sort of problem (an app fucks up and starts wiping out key directories). If you don't log in as root this can never happen.
choasforages:
never use root unless you have a clear mind, i deleted libc6 once....

Naturally, the first thing I did when I read that was to print the page, because I was, and still am, using Safari.
It printed just fine. I like Safari a lot. It's the little things, like how it gives you a dialog box when you bookmark a link.
Does it work with root login? Well, I always log in as root. It's my machine, after all. I like to have control. I also have a firewall about twenty feet thick.
I think this is the browser I've been looking for. OmniWeb is close, but Safari is better.

there are reasons, but like you say, it's your computer. i tend to agree with the people who say they prefer to use safe and secure software myself.

Meh, weird, why would it run as root.

maybe it's shit...
