Safari for Windows!

This was just released today and in my opinion it is a great browser. On the apple website it showed comparisons to other browsers and they said it was 1.6x faster that FireFox. So if any of you want to try it, it can be found he.

hmm should be intersting, use macs at school, is a very good browser, but come on FF ftw! :-)

iv just downloaded. it looks awesome but there a few things that are annoying such as you cant click the middle mouse button for fast scrolling and

"David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities."

maybe a patch soon?

I've heard they're already finding security risk's in it..but…we all knew it was coming :p.

yep it looks nice but you can see in the apple forums its quite buggy and insecure

is it only insecure for windows?

you are NOT using it on your mac. i repeat you are NOT. what you are using is Safari 2. this is Safari 3 Beta.

why would someone want safari on windows?

safari is the shitest browser around. at work im constantly having trouble developing with safri. hardly supports web standards, fucks up occasionally with header redirects and has cookie problems… who wants that in a browser?!

get a browser that actually works… firefox.

Perhaps if you had safari installed it would be easier to develop for it?

Safari (on Mac) has always seemed quite snappy and usually displays correctly (provided the web developer bothered to follow standards and test on a wide range of browsers that included Safari). I also think the UI is really quiet intuitve and that the browser itself 'looks good' and is extremely easy for computer illiterate people to use.

Amen Sparrow, even my mum can use it!

Well his original post said "hardly supports web standards", and while I don't use Windows much, if it's anywhere near as bad as IE it means to accommodate most of your visitors you either have to unnecessarily re-design it repeatedly until it works…

Or have yet another set of hacky JS fixes for Safari as well as IE, though you could get lucky if just designing a simple site, but IE at least doesn't recognise simple stuff like outlines in CSS (which despite being almost the same as borders, are slightly different and using borders wasn't appropriate for what I'm referring to)

it claims to be really fast or whatever and it does pwn firefox. i got them to both download the same page and safari one!! not by much though (maybe half a second)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you accepted the file download with safari first.

Does safari support addons/plugins and stuff?

apparently, however im pretty sure they won't be platform independant.

in summary

safari - goood, got potentioal to be better firefox- second to none

the end
