| Post subject: Has anyone tried Apple's new web browser, Safari? |  |
|
I was browsing Australian IT and saw that there was a new release of Apple's browser called Safari which is compatable with the windows operating system.
It's allegedly so much faster than either IE or Firefox and is free to download.
I pulled it down to try it out. So far so good. it seems to be a little quicker than IE and doesn't have the problems I was getting with Firefox. The settings are a bit different though. Whereas Firefox operates very similar to IE (from a user perspective) Safari is a bit different.
Anyone who's interested, here's a link to the download.

i didn't realise that there was already a thread on this so i started another one, but that can be deleted. Here's what i happened to write in mine and stui, it seems we're in agreement with the firefox issues

I'll give it a try for a week and then give my feedback on it.
Anyone else trying it or other browsers? |

| Giving it a go now. Though, it seems a bit slower than Firefox (for me). Video on The Age isn't working. |

I'm finding the "feel" of it not as good as either IE or Firefox. Importing bookmarks is a PITA and I don't like having to hilite the browser address to overtype rather than just doubleclicking it.

It's called choice.

Because it's a Rip-Off of FireFox and Firefox is better

I've tried a few different browsers, and IE still seems to be the best one and easiest to use.
Still, each to their own.

No, because it works. and works well.
I always seem to stumble upon people who have nothing but trouble with the alternatives. So for me, if something works, makes perfect sense to use it. |
