Safari 3(Beta) Released for Windows

This powerful browser only available for Mac users, is now available for Windows.

"The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2."

Download:

http://www.apple.com/safari/


p.s. Im using it right now, and its actually fast. I got a HP Dv9000 with Dual Core 2 (1.8ghz) and 2GB memory, and its faster than Firefox, or IE. One plus, is that it uses less memory, while still being fast. Firefox at time uses about 100+ mb at times, and Safari is stable at around 30mb. This may be a plus side for those with not enough memory.

I have to agree with this Wired article:

007/06/cultofmac_0612


I use a Mac and don't even use Safari. I need Firefox's add-ons and even though it is slow, I don't find Safari much better (Camino is the winner there).

It seems like more of a hype thing than a usable piece of software. Now who'll be the first to put a new skin on it? :p

gotta agree w/ lamplighter. Safari is on my mac but I almost never use it as its a pos compared to camino (camino would rock 2x if it had extensions)

Maybe I am biased (long time Opera user) but Safari don't seem that fast...

I use Safari because it's faster and more responsive than Firefox, and fonts are antialiased beautifully.

For those who haven't seen Safari's font rendering yet, have a look:

Mmm, I wonder if it'll be skinnable in some way soon...

Yeah, the fonts did look super gorgeous... but it all felt kinda bulky.

I don't know what you guys are talking about saying that most sites are adapted for Explorer/not adapted for Safari. I run it exclusively and have *never* found a site that doesn't work with it.

Removed it the day after. Barely loads pages, if at all, and if it does, many elements are missing. I'll stick to Opera/FF for now.

u al are one and the same
its actually gets buged when it does not show the respective fonts in it when u install say about 3000 fonts and its true it realy does not show any fonts everything is really messy try doing that u wil get an idea for me its still the opera at the top position and it will be ohhhhhh one more thing try opening too many tabs in the safari it will sho a debug and say it has some problem in it and wont work where as opera is seriously can open 35 to 40 tabs to work in all without damaging the inner content like say wallpapers it shows everything while safari dies off i.e. it automatically shuts down by saing debug error in windows so in my case
opera>>>>>>>>>>>>&g
t;>>>>>>>100 pts
safari>>>>>>>>>>>>&
gt;>>>>>>>sucks all the way to glory hahahahahhahahahahahhah its true

Safari on PC is a joke. That's never going to take off. Firefox may load pages 0.3 seconds slower (like I give a crap) but it offers SOOO much more protection, support, mods and doesn't use Apple font smoothing, which looks terrible on Windows.

PLEASE PLEASE someone set an ISO on browsers!!!

great atlast windows users got the ultimate browser they wanted, to take on their browsing sessions to another dimension. But when I tried safari it didnt load pages cashed more than 200kb may be because still it's in it's Beta version. Any how it's it's a good innovation from Apple.
