Could you elaborate? Thanks

Add-ons. Safari has add-ons hacked in, but Firefox is just ahead of the game. If Safari gets caught up, I'd give it another look, but I won't surf the web without Foxmarks, IEView, Adblock, etc.

To be fair, I haven't played much with the Safari hacks. However, I like the idea that FF built them in. Apple has a history of enjoying closed systems (iTunes,iPod,iPhone,AppleTV,etc.), so I don't like counting on hacks with them.

I wholeheartedly agree. Firefox has really set the standard as far as add-ons go. I actually stopped using Safari this morning because I was so used to the add-ons I use in Firefox.
