You actually have to hit tab after you hit Cmd+L and then Tab… way too much work for my fingers." Just type Ctrl-E. Or whatever the equivalent for that is on a Mac, I'm assuming it's Cmd-E (I'm using Safari on Windows). "A few extensions/plugins. One of which would be being able to permanently keep some sites in Top Sites." Open Top Sites, click the Edit button on the lower left corner, and that gives you the ability to pin sites down and make them stay there. Just a note: I don't know about Macs, but on Windows, Safari gets whupped by IE8. It just doesn't feel like a native Windows app at all (too many broken shortcuts, RAM and CPU problems, etc). “That bugs me to no end.

Safari 4 still has a slight edge over IE8 in my opinion.. You can download Safari for windoze, but it's not quite the same. No, I would not equate them… mostly because of the security issues in IE7.

After Firefox 3's "awesome bar" (as the URL bar is affectionately called by many), I don't know how I could switch. Just out of curiosity, does "F6" work to select the URL bar? That's what I use in Firefox (I didn't even know about Ctrl+l). So, would you say that Safari 4 is to Mac what IE8 is to Windows (and Safari 3 is equivalent to IE7)? I've never used Mac, so it will be interesting to hear what you have to say. I agree.
