On any platform other than iOS, Safari is the 3rd best browser on its best day. Just because something is pretty, doesn't make it good. This guy is clearly a student of the Jony Ive school of thought.
I understand that you are taking a shot a Apple's focus on design, but what part of Safari makes you think they sacrificed function for form?
If you don't like Safari then give some detailed insight on why that is. A comment like that would move the discussion forward and be interesting.
