Apple recently made Safari available for Windows users…and webmasters rejoiced. Within 2 hours, critical security flaws were found, and many put off downloading the browser promising 2 times the browsing speed and application launch speed of current browsers. Safari also offers several other features including (of course) tabbed browsing, easy bookmarks, pop-up blocking, resizable text fields, private browsing, auto-fill, a beautiful interface, and SnapBack, a nifty little feature that allows you to “Instantly snap back to search results or the top level of a website.”
Will the most recent update from Apple put Safari back into the must-have Windows browsers? According to Apple, Safari 3.0.2 Beta has:
- Latest security updates
- Improved stability
- Fixes for text display, non-English systems, and start-up times
I guess if it’s no more safe than it was, we will hear about it soon. In the mean time, I’ll be testing my websites with it at “Blazing fast speeds”…
