Firefox is fast due to the Gecko rendering engine. It also lacks ActiveX (a backdoor for viruses, malware, spyware) to install, which Internet Explorer operates with, still, plus IE still uses the Trident engine, which hasn't been updated much since Windows 98, IE4 and still has too much code which slows it down. I also like all the plugins and themes it offers, some are very, very good.
Is that based on PC version of Safari Drew?
I have both Firefox and Safari installed (Mac) and have come back to Safari. For me it's cleaner and loads quicker. I have no issues with any websites, including this one. Firefox has lots of nice gimmicks, but ultimately I found it unfulfilling (note: have not yet tried version 3).
