Safari gets one point for a feature which I did not know existed. i.e. the default browser. I made it default, and it worked fine. Then, I was able to change back to the Firefox default. Is there any program which allows that? I don't think so. It is still unable to open anything which is not already open. I, even, saw a shortcut for Firefox, result of making Firefox default again.
Any external application being selected results in a download.
Another odd observation is that if I minimize Safari results in a partial screen. It may be good, after all, if several windows are open.
I hate to admit it, but I am getting used to it.

Safari's not working for me :/ I think it might be the layout engine, but I'm not exactly very knowledgeable on the topic.

Interesting find I just made in SafariResources.dll. First off, image work for Win32 Safari was apparently done using mostly Paint.NET. Paint.NET writes version tags into its save files: while most of them are created with Paint.NET 3.05 released March 29, 2007, at least two were created with versions as old as Paint.NET 2.72, first released August 31, 2006 and superseded on January 26, 2007.

In other words, the Safari team has apparently been working on a Windows version of Safari for quite some time.
