Safari 3.1 so fast

Nico1980 · 8th April 2008, 23:36

I download and try the new Safari (3.1), woow reallu fast!

I just wish it has groups and aliases

Any opinion about new Safari browser?

k_rock923 · 8th April 2008, 23:52

Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 faster on Mac OS X than Safari 3.1

At least on some benchmarks.

Sawg · 9th April 2008, 00:35

Plus Safari on Windows is just poo. There is no reason to not be using Firefox, or Opera if that is your thing.

If you really want to go crazy, Swift: http://try.swift.ws/
Native Windows WebKit based Browser. (Webkit is the thing below Safari that actually renders pages, equivalent to Firefox's Gecko)

k_rock923 · 9th April 2008, 00:44

Also, links works rather well

Nico1980 · 9th April 2008, 12:22

In my PC Safari is, by far, much more faster, twice at least.

k_rock923 · 9th April 2008, 12:34

Faster than what? Firefox? Maybe. Opera? I don't think so.

gaekwad2 · 9th April 2008, 13:46

Swift still has some minor usability problems though, eg. it would be nice if hitting return in the address bar actually did something.
But apart from those...

Only in a 90's kind of way though...

ryan · 9th April 2008, 13:56

That's like old lady fast.

k_rock923 · 9th April 2008, 14:13

Also, the following is quite fast:

Safari is teh suck on Windows though, its slower than anything, doesn't follow the native interface and the fonts are all screwy

Psythik · 9th April 2008, 21:55

Try using it in Windows 3.1.

Firefox 3B5 holds a 7% lead over Safari 3.1 on Windows and OSX.

k_rock923 · 10th April 2008, 02:18

Fair point. Note that I'm not against Firefox in any way. I still use it most of the time, but I do like Opera quite a bit.

zootm · 10th April 2008, 21:16

Safari is a neat browser but the Windows version is dreadful. The font and widget rendering make it look terrible in the context of a Windows desktop.

fwgx · 10th April 2008, 21:41

I'd like to use Safari on Windows, but I'm waiting for a version that will work with workgroups.

Sawg · 10th April 2008, 22:06

Safari 3.11 for Workgroups?

Yeah, sure. No problems, just was pointing out that tidbit.

Supe · 16th April 2008, 20:15

Sounds like apple is well on its way to world domination... i just dont get it.

Apple and MS are in talks of a merger. Then they're going to overthrow the US Gov't and then the world.

Vil · 17th April 2008, 01:41

At least they can manage money.

ryan · 17th April 2008, 02:05

They need to manage some into my wallet.

P$ycHo™ · 17th April 2008, 12:35

IE was only made to download Firefox or Opera, whichever you like better.

DKqwerty · 18th April 2008, 00:13

I use the built-in Winamp browser.

Ha, no, not really. I'm using FF3b5 right now. But none of the current stable releases can render the Acid3 Test, so they all suck.

k_rock923 · 18th April 2008, 00:15

Webkit and Opera sure blow FF out of the water, though.

jakster · 20th April 2008, 00:52

Been really thingking about using Opera lately and just might have to download it tonight after reading about. I usually bounce back and forth between IE and FF.

P$ycHo™ · 20th April 2008, 15:48

i used opera for a while but somehow switched back to ff.

gaekwad2 · 20th April 2008, 16:03

I have too many extensions that offer functionality Opera doesn't, and (spot check for xzxzzx) I still hate the way it handles tabs.

tuckerm · 20th April 2008, 17:06

Back in the day, Firefox had some huge memory leaks so I was forced to use Opera almost full time. It took about 2 weeks to get used to but now I don't look back
