Long time user from those olden days when Netscape first died off and had no choice but to find another web browser in replacement until this app rose again for OS X. Well, I'm still going to use this as the main browser and FireFox as a secondary. Safari sucked as still does having lost the ability in accessing Bookmarks once I made that disaster uploading OS X 10.4.11. I do not want to rebuild the OS and until the time I do upgrade to an Intel this will still be my browser of choice. Gonna miss ya.
