Jim, I like Firefox, but I also can't wait for Safari RSS, and Mac OS X Tiger. I am guessing Safari will only get better.
By the way, I love your "War on Web Standards." Great stuff. Except... your intention seemed harmless, but you still managed to rally purely political comments... which I guess is not a surprise.

I use firefox as my main browser. I can only believe more people will be converted when it hits version 1.0.
It's nice to see another matt*.com :)

It gets better! Right click on a text field on a search engine and select add keyword search. Then you can type your keyword followed by a search term in the address bar and your search will be executed.
I would love to see this feature in Safari; I would also like to be able to see JPEG EXIF data in Safari. Trouble with Firefox is the lack of colorsync or other colour profile support.

Hi Doug
Safari can have the same feature with "keywurl"
I couldn't agree more with you. For example, I assign the keyword 'wp' for wikipedia and then type the following in firefox URL "wp apple" and this will search wikipedia for "Apple" - thats super cool!
