Chat in Gmail Finally Usable in Safari!

Those of you who have a Gmail account can now thank the Google engineers. Contrary to what their documentation still states, chat functionality has finally been integrated with Safari. I didn't notice this until after the 10.4.11 system update, so I had figured the feat was due to the Apple engineers, but... not exactly, chat is working equally well in Safari 2 (although not in Safari 1). In addition to the speed increases of Safari 3.0.4, I must say that with this latest constraint lifted (I like to communicate with my contacts without having to use 3rd party tools), tonight, I can bid adieu to Firefox for good.
