It does! Safari is much better at battery life. But, for my use cases, it's an unusably poor browser outside of its rendering engine. My extensions don't work within it, I can't easily find equivalents, and there's no easy, good way to sync between Safari and browsers on Windows (Xmarks hosed my bookmarks so badly that I haven't yet even fixed all of them).


Overwhelmingly, I find FireFox with AdBlock and click-to-enable Flash much better than Safari without them.


Firefox has the bad habit of jumping off into space and not coming back for a while, which makes it a non-starter for me.
