REVIEW: Safari 3 beta browser for Windows

[GeeNeeYes]

oh god here we go again...
you are desperately pushing the conversation... canvassing for Safari isnt going to earn you any brownies from Apple... nor me for bashing Safari beta

anyways you might have noticed that its not an anti-Apple blog (bcoz to me fanboyism is idle work)
no more comments since you are deviating from the technical aspect

PS: I am partial to Opera (see my signature) BUT entirely unbiased.

The only thing I liked in safari that it render fonts better.

After this, i went into the registry & tweaked the clear type setting for IE 7, & now even that looks same.

IE 7 also lets me do the work my way. same goes with Firefox.

Conclusion : Safari sux. Period.

And the reason, of course, is that Safari does not have a toolbar button for 'New tab'. WOW! What a stupid browser!

Like always you forgot to mention other flaws

1) Cannot customize the toolbar

2) Cannot add any search provider

3) Cannot search directly from address bar

4) Eat lots of memory

5) Doesn't remembers windows state when maximized after minimizing.

6) No Ad block

7) No inbuilt PDF reading on Windows.

8) For further flaws, look at vishal's buglist.

wow....this is all i need...then only i wil think of movin

You're much better off using Firefox . Safari on Windows is still in it's infancy .

 

[Quiz_Master]

Safari is in beta guys. I think it will improve.
In the mean time I am better off using Opera.

Offtopic: Anyone heard the news that Firefox team is working on FireFox V3.
And they are doing some heavy changes in next release.

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^ Yup, we heard that news 1 year ago. I just wish they fix 3 things

1) If firefox crashes, the whole cache is deleted.

2) WPF based UI for Windows Vista

3) Page zoom like IE 7

i dont think people will shift to safari until jobs comes up with stupid idea of allowing 1 to transfer files to the iphone only if u have safari installed

it makes no sense to shift to safari when u have ff

Seems like a possibility

 

[contactpraven2001]

all n all after reading all the posts and using safari ii get that it has no addons
and it is not much customizable .............. like ff and i think after final release
it would be not better then opera or ff........
