Trying Out the Safari Beta for Windows

Posted June 16th, 2007 in General, Web Design by ryan

As I write this post, I’m using the Safari Beta for Windows. My initial impressions are:

1. Is kinda like FireFox with Mac bling (gel UI elements).
2. I’m not seeing the increased page loading speed, but I’ve been using it for less than a half hour so far.
3. It came loaded with a ton of plugins that you have to load seperate in the other browsers.
4. No CTRL + Enter shortcut! There had better be a shortcut so I don’t have to type in “www” and “.com” all the time. A quick search of the help points to NO. :(
5. It was a small download and a quick install.
6. It tends to render pages like FireFox (whereas Opera tends to load pages like IE) for the sites I visit most (YMMV)

I’ll keep using it and let you know. I’ve viewed a couple of the ASP.Net based blogs that I visit and have already noticed some differences.
