Safari is out for windows!

http://www.apple.com/safari/

The only good thing the apple ever had. Fastest browser EVER.

 

[flying_whale]

my firefox seems faster, than safari at school. I'm talking about good macs using safari G4, 512mb

 

[EricT]

New Safari version. Renders pages at 2 times the speed of Firefox. Its fucking KILLER.

 

[Liverslapper]

Nice ill try it out

 

[deathstrike from hell]

apple has done absolutely nothing worth my time and or money.

 

[EricT]

Pfft.

Free apple shit is awesome (Safari mostly), for the most part. Except iTunes. iTunes can go suck a fuck.

 

[EricT]

Also, the forum is loading threads WAY faster on this new Safari then it has ever for me. Post-whoring GALORE!

 

[EricT]

You know what. I think I'm gonna buy a mac. Just so I can run Safari in its native enviroment.

I've got money to blow, and lots of it.

does it utilize hyperthreading technology? does it uses a decent size cache for stored photos?

the only thing i found appealing was the button that lets you go back to the original source search.

i'll stick with opera.

is this a ram hog like i.e.?

And its broken already! Fuck Safari!

"David Maynor, infamous for the Apple Wi-Fi hack, has discovered bugs in the Windows version of Safari mere hours after it was released. He notes in the blog that his company does not report vulnerabilities to Apple. His claimed catch for 'an afternoon of idle futzing': 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities." Separately, within 2 hours Thor Larholm found a URL protocol handler command injection vulnerability that allows remote command execution.

Oh come on. What kinda pretentious idiot needs Hyperthreading in a internet browser?

I use X2-64 anyway, so I could care less.

Lemme guess, you'd want dual core support in that case, so you can load your nude pictures of Jeff Hardy in one tab on one core, and suck with the other core?

As for it being broken? Take a look at all the holes found in Firefox 2 when it was released. IE7 too. Opera even.

Theres holes in everything, and theres always some douche with too much free time who goes around looking for any possible ones.

 

[Liverslapper]

Love The Hyper Threading Technology...i have yet to dll Safari but i will in the near future.

The pretentious idiot who loves the best possible browsing performance.

ok. x2 64 IS A DUAL CORE PROCESSOR. wow. really funny remark about jeff hardy. good thing in utah the only pussy you see are dometicated felines. I bet the last time you had pussy was when pussy had you.

Opera is still faster than safari (for me), and implements bittorrent for faster downloading of large files.

browser patches between Feb 2003 and Jan 2007: IE6 -- 67% patched (out of 110 reported bugs).
IE7 -- 25% patched (out of 4 reported bugs).
Firefox 1 -- 87% patched (out of 39 reported bugs).
Firefox 2 -- 50% patched (out of 4 reported bugs).
opera 8 -- 100% patched (out of 15 reported bugs).
opera 9 -- 100% patched (out of 3 reported bugs).
Safari 1 -- 93% patched (out of 15 reported bugs).
Safari 2 -- 33% patched (out of 6 reported bugs).




so in summation, opera is STILL faster, uses less cpu, has better plugin extensions and has all holes fixed.

 

[EricT]

Do note, Safari 1 & 2 are Mac exclusives. Certain bugs/exploits don't need to be bothered with, due to the user base and what they do. Fix what needs to be fixed, fuck the rest. Thats the programming world for you.

Secondly, if I'm looking for good plugins, Firefox is where to go. A massive library of such.

Thirdly, BUGS are not SECURITY HOLES.

 

[Liverslapper]

yeah, bugs are not security holes, but they leave room for them to be created.

 

[Anvil]

I dislike opera, but I use it as a website test, as well as Safari and IE 5.5. Firefox still will forever remain my main browser.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

i like itunes a lot. easily the best playlist/music device i've ever used. (winamp and wm have been nothing but balls for me)

safari has me interested, but i think i may be a firefoxer for life. love the name.

also, i tried opera out and it was balls, too.

Safari on Mac rules. Been using it since the first version came (used Omniweb before).
