Top Tip! Safari for Windows
Recently Apple released its Safari Browser for Windows users . Although i am quite happy with my IE 7 , i decided to give it a shot for some reasons which i cant remember of right now .At first look , it just appered like a normal browser with a mac look . It had all the features like Tabbed Browsing , RSS Support , Pop Up Blocker etc but what actually surprised me was the speed at which opened the websites .
I decided to try out few image sites like flickr etc and to my surprise , the image loading time was much faster that what i have experianced so far with IE or FF. Even the user interface looked clean and tidy , the resizable text fields was also a good option . The Snapback is another feature which most of you will definately appreciate . Private Browsing is another good feature .One problem which i noticed was that whenever i started “Safari” , it took some time to responsd to my initial request . Hopefully this will be fixed in the final version .
Apple are saying that Safari is faster than any other browser in the market and with my experiance , i can say that it might be true . When it will come out of the beta version i am sure that it is going to give some tough competition to IE , FF and Opera . Wonder why apple didint release it earlier ? Have you people tried out Safari , do share your experiances with me through comments .

Yes its true its faster thn Firefox and IE
I agree it is faster than IE and Firefox. But it has bugs. I found two of them. One in Bookmark and another in Report Site. If you go to these options, your browser will close. It is only in Beta so no worries.
Yeah, it’s faster than IE and Firefox, but it consumes a lot of RAM too. I’m also missing those familiar shortcuts
yeah.. it’s definitely better than IE.. But still can’t replace FF as my primary browser. ven on my mac i use FF
It has a great interface (since its apple product, it HAS to look good ;p) but lacks addons support which FF has..

Hmm…I wanted to try it out, but what’s the point? I really can’t imagine a browser than Firefox. With my 20 extension, I really can’t board any other browser. I’ve come to a stage where even FX without extension installed.
I hope the shortcuts will come in the next version.

I still think Opera is a little faster, but Safari is definitely right up there. They seem to conveniently “forget” about Opera when Apple does their comparisons.
It has a few decent features, but nothing amazing. People are dubbing it the “porn browser” because of the private browsing feature.
For me, the speed is like Opera..really good but still have few function missing..
So far,Firefox is great because of its function and various plug-ins available.
I think i am the only one who feels it is slower than any other browser i have and it uses lot of RAM.
Madhur,
For me it is not opening faster than Firefox. But still I’m using it,
i have try in windows and after a while it will stop responding and close. I think this is because safari still in beta so not compatible with windows vista yet.
