I have rarely used Safari. Does it have a good search function and bookmarks function? Can the bookmarks be transferred to Firefox and in the other direction?
And does it not track you?
Thanks

For using it on Windows 7......

Yes, and yes to Firefox. I am not certain about coming from Firefox. Bookmarks can be saved as html and then imported into anything that can accept HTML format bookmarks or favorites. Similarly, Safari can import saved HTML bookmarks or favorites.

Safari uses cookies like other browsers, but you can also opt for Anonymous browing in Preferences where no cookies are retained and no identifying information is transferred. You can also open a Private Browsing Window in which you can browse without leaving a record on your computer of where you have been . No caches, no history, no cookies, are retained when you close that windows and all its tabs. . . it's as if you never browsed at all.

I hope this helps answer the questions you have.
