Review of Apple Safari 4 beta

Hey all,

Seeing how Apple released the latest Safari 4 beta browser, I thought I would provide a little rant on it.

The Apple Safari browser located at http://www.apple.com/safari/ has always proven to be a stable, smooth platform, and is the cornerstone of the Apple iPhone.

The browser is available for download at "http://www.apple.com/" for both the Mac OS, as well as the Windows OS, and supports Vista. Installing Safari 4 was also easy and pain-free, and actually asks you for confirmation on the installation of "Bonjour" (This is nice to see).

The Safari 4 browser appears to be far faster and smoother than other browsers such as Firefox and Google’s Chrome browser. I won't even mention Internet Explorer in the same breath (Oops I just did....Sorry !! ).

Safari 4 now features a private browsing switch, as well as full search history option that can show users web sites they have navigated to in the past in Cover Flow.

Two great new features of Safari 4 is “Top Sites,” which is similar in feel to iTunes in that it shows up to the top 24 navigated sites in a pictorial view. This allows one to choose at a glance what site he/she chooses to navigates to.

The other is called “Developer Tools,” which according to Apple is the “best suite of development tools ever included in a browser.”

Please note, that I tested Safari 4 on Windows based laptop, running Windows 7 on it, and it ran very smoothly.

Please check back later for more on the Safari 4 beta Browser Review.

If you have had the opportunity to use this browser, please drop us a note with your thoughts on this browser.

Cheers for now !!
