Since I dislike Google I don't recommend Chrome but even that is a better choice than this. A bad experience for me and my laptop, we are both happier with Firefox or opera or even IE. Try being the keyword, it left behind that apple updater which refused to completely uninstall itself so I had to use Revo Uninstaller to finally clean up all the leftover sour apple pie bits. This was long enough to realize this apple browser was not happy inside my Vista laptop so I tried to uninstall it. I then tried the browser for about an hour, it seemed sluggish the entire time and froze up a couple times when going into the options part of the browser. After waiting a longer time then should be necessary installing this browser, which also installed an apple product updater tool deep into the system without letting me know.
This is a bloated piece of apple junk (windows version at least, maybe on a mac this is ok but my review is only for the discontinued windows version). Total time trying to remove it- a lot longer. Whether it is your primary browser or not, it is well worth installing.Total time using Safari about 1 hour.
Safari is everything a web browser should be and more. Disable versions of Adobe Flash Player that do not include the latest security updates and provide the option to get the current version from Adobe's website. Fix an issue that could affect websites using forms to authenticate users Fix an issue that could prevent webpages from responding after using a pinch to zoom gesture Improve the browser's responsiveness when the system is low on memory It also has improved HTML5 support, Bing search engine support, hardware acceleration support for Windows and much more. The latest Safari 5 ships with a Safari reader to make browsing news and other text, more clear. Features, speed and good looks mean that Apple's web browser is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore and is well worth taking for a test drive. With support for new, emerging and established web technologies, Safari is a browser with a strong focus on performance as well as security. In a similar vein, the Top Sites feature provides a graphical representation of your favourite web sites which can be visited with a single click.
This means that as well as using keywords to track down sites, it is also possible to browse through site preview images to allow for quick identification. Safari logs each of the sites you visit and presents them in an iTunes style interface known as Cover Flow.
Integrated support for PDF files means that there is no need to install a dedicated tool to view such documents when they are encountered online and the browser also makes it easy to return to sites you have previously visited. Available for both Windows and Mac, Safari boasts a familiar Apple look and feel, and brings a number of interesting features to the table. With the addition of Opera, Google Chrome and Apple Safari to the competition, there is now plenty of choice for web surfers.
Mac and iPhone users will be familiar with Safari, but for a long time the web browser race for PC owners was a two horse race between Firefox and Internet Explorer.
