Any one here using this browser? I read about it in the news today and was wondering if it was any good and did what it said about loading faster than the other browsers available.

I've tried Safari 3 Beta out on both Windows and Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.9. It has some pretty neat features, and seems very fast and stable. I was dually impressed. It also appears to be fully standards-compliant, unlike Safari 2. I'll have to do more research at a later date and as they release new beta versions, but at first glance, it appears to be a great browser.

Thank you for your reply, Nick. I'm using Firefox right now and am happy with it, but will try the Safari for a bit.

loaded it, tried it.. found it slow, unresponsive and not what they advertised it to be. (this is on a AMD Dualcore 64, Windows XP Pro, 4GB ram. by comparison, Firefox and IE are fast and responsive on the same pages I tested safari with)

I installed it and it ran quite fast at first, but after a few websites later, it slowed down.
I'm not impressed either and went back to my good old Firefox 2.x

did you notice the top of the bookmarks menu is almost identical to Firefox's?

williamsn ( ) posted Tue, 12 June 2007 at 10:10 PM

The two are very similar, indeed, but Safari's bookmarks menu has looked like that and been around since long before Firefox. I doubt anyone copied anyone. What else do you put up there / name the items in that menu?

From what I gathered when it was installing, is that it has Navigator in it.
