Google Calendar officially supports Safari
Users are reporting that Google Calendar now officially supports Safari. I can confirm, as I no longer receive the 'unsupported browser' warning on 10.4.6, and I must say gCal looks a bit nicer in Safari, though I unfortunately need to use Firefox for most of my browsing needs.It's nice to see Google going the extra mile to support Apple's browser with some of their products. Anyone want to place bets as to how soon a Safari-compatible chat will show up in Gmail?

It's still read-only when you (using iCal) subscribe to private Google iCal calendars.
And the calendars aren't private... there are no passwords when it comes to using iCal.
Still lacking proper support for Opera though. :-(

No dice unfortunately.
#3 - You can disable chat in Firefox if you don't like it. Just click 'standard without chat' at the bottom of the page.

Actually, DOM support in Safari is still kind of lacking, so the fact that Google has made an effort to support Safari is definitely "going the extra mile".
The Google Calendar overview page (http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/overview.html) now lists Safari 2.0.3 as "fully supported broswer".

Give credit where it's due... it's a lot less than a mile. :-) Unless you go out of your way to be IE-specific (which Google obvously don't), Safari support is not that hard!
I hope not, I hate how gmail is in Firefox. I don't want more stuff to distract me. Plus who keeps gmail open all the time to chat??
