"Wild" Safari For Windows

Firefox must be sweating out hard to develop even a faster version. It was always ahead of internet explorer but with Safari coming out, it looks like, firefox has been left behind. While I have been away on a vacation, Apple came up with its Safari which actually has a statrtup time as well as page loading time, shorter than firefox. Now Apple has been really inventing things since its iPod and it can be said Safari has a long way to go.


But Safari may have some issues on some computers, At first I couldn't see any characters at all. Also sometimes the installation hangs in the end. But Apple seems to have fixed those bugs and the new setup gave no problems to me. it works fine on 256 mb RAM, though its better if you have higher.

The interface is cool. I have been always a fan of apple gadgets, the first being itunes. Safari is way similar to the older itunes in look, witha greyish texture. The fonts are also cool and I am sure anyone will like it. Tabbed browsing like in all other browsers is present. A search toolbar like the one in firefox is also present by default. With all these options it can only be called a really "Wild" Safari.

firefox has a really popular and very useful add-on called adblock plus which helps cut down your bandwidth usage by blocking unnecessary ads. even the loading then becomes faster. is there any equivalent of this feature in safari.

i agree to its speed but what about its security, the feature that firefox is so proud of.

i didn't face any threatening security issues while using safari. and i think the security is all right. of course every browser has got loopholes.

well mr owl, the sites you visit through Safari are not registered by ZoneAlarm firewall which while using Safari your firewall is not protecting you.

i agree that every software has loopholes but you have a firewall and you use a software which is not compatible with that firewall, then you are deliberately calling for danger. hope you realize that.
