simple website wit not much plugin is fast... no doubt
certain website with lots of plugin... it takes ages, still lose to IE

There isnt any "add tab" button ler.....

This is just beta version. May be will add in the multi plug-in when final. whose know right?

mac (or in this case safari) actually renders font differently compared to windows, making it look a bit blur
i dont like it though. i guess it's a matter of preference.

anyway lotsa ppl talking about the font rendering in mac vs windows.

its interface makes me fall in love with safari ~
altough still has many bugs.
and the main problem is, many developer only "test drive" and program their web pages with/for IE or firefox. so, when we open it on safari, its just appeared on our browser not properly.

Nice interface, fast but it is buggy.

OMG, I am using Safari on Vista and Mac and it is so friggin' slow on my Vista to open the app but thw webpages appear at about the same speed both on Vista and Mac and it also opens the app real fast.

Cool effect when u use ctrl F for finding. The screen will all goes dim and higlight thw word u r finding. Neat!

just know about this safari on window today and already use it. seems a bit faster than firefox when loading... but think that firefox load much2 better when loading the whole page..

still playing around... well... its beta version rite? wait for the full ver. thank u to apple

now like all applications on mac goes to windows, nice strategy to take-out windows user to use mac in the future~

regarding on some articles , mac user also face some prob with safari like windows users on IE. so don't demanding to much its better than everything.

Safari Beta 3.0.1:



http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/06/14/...-patched_1.html

The updated version can be downloaded via here or can be updated using the installed Apple Software Update application.

So far I feel this is the browser which can take on Opera for speed. Let's hope the final version would iron out those bugs.

Can anyone use the mouse scroll in Safari? Also there is no CTRL+Enter shortcut when typing the address?

more buggy compare to 1st release..... Although it load slightly faster than mozilla but mozilla is more lighter than it...

Using it and loving it.Mouse scrolling works just fine as normal.Yeah it's a little buggy but not fretting coz it's still in beta release.

scroll wheel is fine.

it's just that you can't click middle mouse button and scroll.

Just tested this thingy (latest version):-

1. I think the font smoothing is better than ClearType, must set to Light though.

2. People says it loads webpages faster, but I think Firefox + AdBlock Plus is way faster especially in ad-laden sites.

3. Can't use proxy server, the option is grayed out. Will give some slack because this is beta.

4. Crashes more often, but this is beta so will give some slack too.

5. Takes more memory than Firefox (even with plugins), take as much as IE7. Apple needs to cut down memory consumption here. At least it is not bloated like that god-dammit iTunes.

6. I hate grey skin, should at least allow people to choose orange or pink. Hey if Vista can do it for FF, why not Safari?

Interesting reading: Is Safari faster?
