There are some slight annoyances in the &#8216;Safari&#8217; approach: some fonts render &#8216;too bold&#8217;. Reading can be quite a task, particular with websites that use Verdana (for a good example use Safari and open up the MetaFilter website: notice how IE renders that site almost the same). If you look at the screenshot, Opera and Firefox render fonts with a lot less weight, making webpages a lot easier to read, or rather, giving webpages a lot more &#8216;consistent look&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>On the overall, having another browser for Windows is a good step: first, Safari shows that the K-Developers did some good stuff with their (portable) KHTML component. Secondly, if you&#8217;re a web developer, you can finally find out what your site looks like in Safari.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"extra\"><small><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=922\">1.
