loved safari for a long time now. people, especially the privacy focused set, do not give it enough credit.
the showstopper for me is lack of profiles. you can effectively have 2 profiles, one for 'safari' and one for the dev or preview edition. there's a very expensive (>$10) cookie switcher extension that would have the ability to effectively create profiles, but the need for that has escaped them. i actively inquired maybe 18 months ago and they had no inkling to work on that.
the other thing i like about recent chrome is the ability to have an extension only activate on click. this gives you a much higher assurance about it's safety.
