The defaults in the original browsers were set a bit large 
(16px), so Safari decided to set them smaller for a while. That 
sucked. Nowadays you can just set the scaling of the body to 
87.5% of the default and get a reasonable size (14px).

What annoy me the most is non-promotional sites that set the body 
font-family to anything but the default sans-serif (which often 
happens to be pixel perfect, have good unicode support and is 
legible).
