I have always been a bit of a Firefox fan but with the release of Safari 4 including top sites, cover flow style history and synchronised MobileMe bookmarks Apple’s Safari is providing a worthy challenge. One aspect of Safari that bugs me a little is the search lock in to Google. There is no questioning Google’s reign on search but user choice is just as important.
Apple have just released a beta of Safari 4 for both Mac and PC. The beta entitled Leo offers a host of new features as well as a number of key function changes including the moving of tabs to above the address bar.
Apple have introduced Safari™ 3.1, the world’s fastest web browser for Mac® and Windows PCs. Safari loads web pages 1.9 times faster than IE 7 and 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2. Safari also runs JavaScript up to six times faster than other browsers, and is the first browser to support the latest innovative web standards needed to deliver the next generation of highly interactive Web 2.0 experiences*. Safari 3.1 is available immediately as a free download at www.apple.com/safari for both Mac OS® X and Windows.
