Default Safari Rendering?

Really? What sites? And is Flash required to get use out them (like YouTube) or just a nice (or annoying) extra (like ESPN)?

Personally, most of my browsing could be done without Flash (and probably a lot without graphics). The only useful thing Flash provides is an occasional video, which I couldn't see on my Q9m until I installed Skyfire (I didn't try one of the kludged up packages). And it's not like I'd be upset if Flash didn't work at all.

Why do you think that? I've never heard that claim. As far as I know, it's just a Webkit-based browser with a fast processor backing it up.
