Apple's been making hay in its Mac vs. PC ads about Windows' security & malware problems. But now that Apple's playing in Microsoft's sandbox with a Windows version of the Safari Web browser, the worm has turned. According to Microsoft, the Windows version of Safari has a bug that's been dubbed the "carpet bombing" flaw.:!:

safari for windows from the beginning had too many flaws and is worthless on windows. Better use FF or Opera or IE7.

Thats why its better to stay away from both Apple and Microsoft browsers. Both suck.

If you need MS HTML, use Avant instead. It is really fast.
Other than that, the fastest is Konqueror, Best is Firefox, and most comfortable is Opera.
