Yea well, Apple didn't do it alone. They had the help of KHTML (from the Konqueror people. Nothing to do with Firefox, I know.).

Supposedly, yes.  But at this point, it doesn't render a lot of pages very well, from 5 years of neglect.  It's also pretty slow.

That may be true.  But both Mac and Win IE's CSS2 implementations were ghastly.  And different.  Which caused a lot of troubles, allowing Safari to sweep in and save the day.

Forget 'em all. There's Shiira. Take Safari and make it better and you have Shiira.

themacuser:
Hmmm, I prefer Safari. Shiira just seems to be a bit wierd.

If you want something cool, try the WebKit nightly builds on nightly.webkit.org. They're occasionally unstable, or defective, but nowehre near as bad as IE.
