It's not just java. There are various extensions that are not available on
Safari or Opera, yet occur on IE, Netscape and Firefox.

Example: TypePad.com  (Blogging service) When making a post in Safari (or
Opera) the only tools available are 'insert image' and 'insert file'.
 
In the other browsers available tools: 'text size', 'bold', 'italic',
'underline', strikethrough', 'font colours', 'insert links',  'insert e-mail
forwarding', 'start quotation indent', 'end quotation indent', ' dot point
list', 'numbered list', 'insert image', 'insert file'.

That is a huge difference. Those tools are necessary for serious webpages.
In addition to the above extensions, Netscape has a fabulous WYSIWYG editor
built into the browser, called Composer.

I have 16 blogs and 4 websites. It is frustrating that Safari can't cut the
mustard as a serious web working browser, and I am forced to use the ugly
but practical Netscape, as I love Safari for everything else.

Well not quite everything. My bank won't accept it, which again is annoying.

Tony.
