[General] Safari on windows!

[bashar abdullah]

Safari does have a set of plugins, however remain far away from level of
Firefox. Total I can see is less than 100 on the Pimp my safari.

As for ACID test, there are multiple tests. I attached some photos before.
Which one are you referring to here?
