I think Safari on the mac is number one, because apple is so good at inter grating it's products. I posted some more site comparisons and a chart.

Think what you want but Safari is the buggiest browser out there. IE has it share and ranks lower solely because of the activeX exploits in my book but....

 

Before and after text on links form part of the clickable link in Mozilla, but not Safari. Turning off the text-decoration on the before and after text turns it off for Safari, but not for Mozilla, because it is part of the (underlined) link.

 

Some elements of CSS2 are not supported, including desirable properties such as min-width, min-height, max-width and max-height, as well as less-used ones like cursor.

does not support border-collapse, border-spacing,row-span or column-span – but to be fair, only Mozilla supports border-collapse properly (Windows IE provides partial support) and no browser appears to support row-span or column-span

 

Certain web-kit applications cause Safari to crash and in some cases Finder to crash unless Web-kit images are first saved to the HD before viewing.

safari has a horrible Event handler causing hiccups crashes and the pinwheel of death.

 

Safari has a few known exploits that allow for root permission and remote access.

 

It also can be caused to crash by over 200 single lines of code. To be fair most are javascript containing certain Cascading style sheets(CSS) and Document Model Objects(HTML DOM).

 Safari has allowed for unsolicited installation of widgets  on several occasions(I believe they just fixed this again).

These are problems that Mozilla does not have...Though Opera does have some issues with properly displaying CSS.
