safari is good, but the "use the OSX ui on windows even if it makes it dog slow and inconsistant not to mention downright ugly" mentality is what breaks the deal for me.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Well, there are basically 4 windows browsers, IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. Of all those, Safari seems to be the weirdest one out, so it made the most sense to make fun of.

Sheesh, take or leave the joke and move on! :P

Actually, Safari performs faster than Firefox 3, and I don't know what you mean by inconsistent.

The rendering engine may be faster, but the actual drawing of the Window chrome is dog slow and inconsistent with the look+feel of the operating system.
Not to mention pointless and ugly.
