A small and useful addition built onto Safari 3.2

Just wondering, how come Apple's Safari browser is announced in a forum labelled "Firefox, SeaMonkey and Netscape" ? Wouldn't it be more appropriate talked about in the Mac OS and Apple forum, much like IE is discussed in the "Windows (and Microsoft talk) forum" ?

Only in this country do they let blind people drive!
