continuing the browser war ... apple recently (June 12, 2007 ) introduced "safari" for windows ... as always being bitten by tech bug to try out new software .. i installed it and started using it ... but using popular web2.0 sites on safari is not a possible as of now...
try out using yahoo mail beta .. you get a screen saying your browser is currently not supported ... and even if one continues using it .. surely safari will crash ...
on the other hand ... try using gmail .. google suggests work fine on it ... infact i read it somewhere google pages that they are currently working to make there sites compatible with safari ... guess they are already on way .. moreover the way safari displays text box etc .... is really nice .. i mean all that blueish light around login text box .. cooollllll
talking of bright side ... the 'search feature ' on safari is something really out of box ... excellent i must say ... as soon as you search a text all the occurences get highlighted (obvious ... ) but the best part is rest of page turns greyish ... making the searched text easily viewable ...
movable tabs ... i dont think its a great feature ... ok kinda thing ...
moreover ... security is a big big drawback ... find posts here and here ... about secuirty issues of theis browser ...
moreover ... i found a bug in the 3.0 release ... and logged it against apple .. Bug ID#5271889 ... lets see how they track it ...
introducing safari for windows is a nice move ... but the first impression is ... its buggy ... and moreover they shouldnt have released it as Beta version .. looks more like an alpha to me ...
