With Duck Duck ? Is it because is made by quacks for quacks or is it dome kind of chinese specialty that it need Duck sauce. Apple is really messing up naming things up.

I don't really use safari as my main browser... I use Firefox, which in my opinion, is way better than Safari.... I hope Apple will put a little more focus on developing Safari in the future releases...
