Jobs Demoes Leopard, annouce Safari for Windows

enjoy trying out

been trying it out for a couple of hours. does seem a little bit faster than firefox and IE. still got a few bugs though but so far it's commendable.

Finally can have it.
Tried it already. Not bad.
But i think some part cannot support by safari.
My GMail don't have GTalk when in Safari.

Why i'm getting this after install. The language is not readable.How to fix it?

anyone has the idea to customize buttons on this safari 3 beta?

im not able to customuze it lar... wanna add a "Add New Tab" button on the "ribbons"~~

just like we all did on IE7 and FireFox~~

the new netscape feels better than this imho...

it does fell better with tis one..

but still got few bug...

I am trying Safari 3 Beta on Windows Vista and Mac right now and it works light a beauty amazing speed but I still prefer Firefox 2.

nice looking and fast, but i still stick with my firefox anyway~

It's fast. But memory hungry. 3 tabs eating up to 194mb memory. Can someone else confirm this.

I'm using it rite now..but imo not that quick..i believe my firefox is much faster than my safari and the font type is not feasible on my eyes(foggish).I gotta fix a few things before i get it up and running. But overall i think its quite okay for a beta.

And for the memory hungry issue,i've made some comparison, i didn't get any figure up to 190, but this page consumes about 44mb on safari and 40 mb on firefox.Its slightly more but not that critical i guess.

Edit : After a few more testing, i found crashes and error pop ups with the browser. Well i'll leave it at that because its beta.But for now i'll just forgo using this one.Maybe next time.Firefox still reign supreme.

The new bada** mot***f***er of browsers.
Totally impressed with lightspeed. They need to fix up some memory reclaiming problems though.

After that, it will be THE browser to use, especially since Firefox's desperately trying to become bloatware and IE isn't trying to be anything. Opera's also in a sad state of trying to be everything but failing at 75% of them.

View>Customise Toolbar. Drag or move the icons you desired.

Anyone tried it yet. I am using it now and HOLY SHIT its fast. Faster than opera and firefox. If this is only beta, I can't wait for the final one. Compared to IE7 its like comparing Proton to a Ferarri.

im using it now, very good. fast and pretty GUI

the final version, will it be licensed or free?

i'm impressed for the first time using it. it's that fast and really loved the simple interface. come to think of it, it's a beta. i wonder how the final release works...

you cant be wrong with apple's product.

reallllll fast... tested... tried to load www.msn.com

result: firefox arnd 26sec, Safari 12sec

thumbs up.. waiting for the final release

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.
check this out: http://validator.w3.org/

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?

test it urself rather than belive the statement in safari website.

faster than firefox and ie.

Standard page loading test with opera, firefox2(tete009 SSE version), and safari. all 3 browser are up to date version.

the test is done as suggested. the html that use for benchmark is saved to harddisk.



Safari is the fastest browser to render CSS, rendering time is below 200ms, opera is about 920ms, firefox2(tete009 SSE version) ~770ms, ie7 ~1500ms

Table rendering test, safari still is the winner, followed by opera, firefox2 and ie7 is the slowest

still got some other benchmark havent run, too lazy to post screenshot
