This might seem stupid, but I'm just wondering if there's an official answer...

If Netscape is known as NS and Internet Explorer is IE, what's Safari?

You know, you'll say, Site Requires NS 6+ IE 5

SA?

SF?

SI?

And for that matter, what about other browsers, Omni (OM?) Mozilla (MZ?)
Just curious... what do you all think...

OmniWeb (or whatever its proper name is), and Mozilla.

Don't need acronyms, especially for browsers in the vast minority.

Theoretically, we could also use "Konq", which is the pseudo-official shorthand for Konqueror (the browser on which Safari is based). I don't bother with that, though, since most Safari users don't know what Konqueror is.
