I got my MBP today and it's sure a big change for Windows, all for the better! Honestly after I started using it I barely even touched my Windows laptop anymore. I'm not sure which web browser I'll use. I used Safari a lot and just tried Firefox. What I like about Firefox is the tabbed browsing and no pop-ups. Maybe I'm missing something in Safari but I haven't used tabbed browsing and most of all ,I'm getting a lot of popups. Is there a way to avoid them?

As well, since I have a desktop in the house as well as a laptop that I will use at home and on the go, is there a way to sync/share Bookmarks? What I mean is that I have the same bookmarks on both machines as well as obviously if I add to one machine it adds to the other. Is there some type of sync function for this? With the Windows machines I actually shared them meaning I stored them on the desktop and when at home the laptop would point to that directory to use the bookmarks. On the go though I had to make a copy of them. I'm not sure if I'll be using Safari or Firefox regularly though.

    In Safari, you press [Apple]-[t] or select File >New Tab for a new tab. Select [Apple]-[k] or select Safari > Block Pop-Up Windows to block popups. Synchronizing Safari bookmarks is a .mac feature. You can also do this via del.icio.us.

    If you use firefox, you can sync your bookmarks really nicely using google browser sync

    As an aside, check out the Adblock Plus Firefox extention, as well as the Filterst.G Extension. You can pretty much kiss all ads goodbye, pop-up or otherwise.
