Amit, you have no idea what your talking about. WebKit (the core of Safari) is one of the most advanced web rendering kits out there. It does a much better job than Firefox at rendering web pages. (Safari passed the Acid2 test before any other browser. Firefox still has a bit to go). When banking sites don’t design their pages to meet web standards it causes problems on safari, sure. But, that’s usually the web designer’s fault. Not Safari’s.

[...] Recent numbers indicate that Firefox has attained 16% market share among web browsers. It’s secure, extensible and open source. It’s also been unstable and an obnoxious memory leak. Have these problems been solved in 2.0? I’ve seen little discussion on this, but this beta feels better so far than the 1.5 I have been using. [...]

50,000 is more than enough sites. Heck, 100 random sites from each country will get you an accurate stat within 1% or so.

It’s just one data-point, but my own non-tech-related blog is visited by about 40% Firefox users (compared to 30% IE and 15% Safari).

Will,

See I see this as a chicken and egg issue.

It seems from the little I read (I really do need to download it at some point) that you’re chasing web 2.0 trends and implementing integration with the popular services. I guess the way I see it is, to really be main stream you need to be able to do what each user wants and writing code for specific sites won’t accomplish that for the majority as most of these spaces are crowded.

So, for flock to work all the sites in a category need to implement standard api. The problem is obviously you need enough market share to give sites a reason to implement the standard flock uses. So, I guess the best solution is to write a general api that is published (or adapt a standard where applicable) and then write custom code for the main players in that space. From my understanding currently only the latter exists, which means new sites won’t work with flock no matter what. If you give the open api and grab a decent early adapter market share you will give new sites who want to grow a reason to implement the api.

In return new sites will already work with flock and as such will allow flock to stay up to date and have diminishing need to recreate interaction with the same type of site and work on expanding the different spaces flock integrates with adding more value.
