safari 3
|
At last Apple has made its excellent browser safari available for windows users although still on beta its speed puts the rest to shame
.Come on webuser lets turn the spotlight on Apple for a change.

Re: safari 3

It seems stable enough, quick to load, though I have yet to manage to change the default skin from the drab grey that Mac users seem to love
I do like the Private Browsing option, though I have no need to use it.I am not sure about the bookmarks. I like my bookmarks/favo(u)rites to be drop down menu rather than a side bar, but again I may have yet to explore it properly. (I hate having my screen taken up by unnecessary permanent junk!)
I do like the choice of having RSS feeds in the Toolbar or the Bookmarks file, and a reasonable number of options for updating.
I have become quite enamoured with the quicklinks in the Toolbar, which are easily edited and adapted to the UK environment. I also like the fact that I can delete the Apple link should I so desire... (make note to self..remove Apple link)
It is simplicity itself in terms of functionality, with an adequate pop up blocker, so all in all, I think that FF, IE and Opera may have some serious competition
Now how do I change this skin?

Thanks, it sounds good. I'll look forward to getting it in October, or whenever the final version is released! If you find out how to change the skin, I'll be interested to know how you do it as I'm not all that keen on grey.

I saw the security alerts in the register, but thought to myself, if some script kiddy has time on his hands to write something for 0.015% of browsers, and then find my pc to give it some form of virus, then they really do have too much time on their hands!

Mmm, this will take a bit of getting used to. I know it's still in the early stages, but I don't like the grrey skin either and those annoying google ads are there, can you get rid of them?
the text on the screen looks weird as well.
I went onto Ebay using this browser and I got a message telling me to upgrade to Firefox!

Just downloaded it now, and it's the first browser that I would actuallly consider to make my main browser over Firefox in the last three years. Just a shame I can't find many addons for it, any one know of any sites?

Re: safari 3

It seems quite a basic browser at present. I find the dark interface a bit difficult to read and web page text is not quite as clear as other browsers display it. I note it has a pop-up blocker but I really miss the enhancements that Firefox extensions give. I'll keep it installed and follow developments for a while.

Me too, as it's still in the early stages, I am going to bear with it and see what improvements.
I use Firefox and that was very basic when I first started using it.
