	Hmm... that doesn't really sound all that bad to me in the present  
day and age.

	It usually renders stuff right for me (the same as WebKit). I  
actually find more quirks in WebKit, I believe, when I do web  
development, even though I use the WebKit driven Safari primarily (on  
my computer and phone).

	I wouldn't mind seeing Chrome succeed, though, although I'm not sure  
if it is in everyone's best interest to have the browser market  
dominated by the same company that dominates the search market.  
Mozilla's somewhat of a free agent. I was actually hoping Apple Safari  
would spread more, but Apple hasn't figured out how to get Windows  
users excited about it yet. If it did, though, that would be good for  
WebKit.
