Safari offers you a superior Web experience with outstanding performance. Even the most complex of pages load at breakneck speed. In fact, it loads pages more quickly than any other Mac Web browser. But that's not all. Safari uses the advanced interface technologies underlying Mac OS X to offer you an all-new view of the Web, one that's much easier to use.

A great browser for sure! On my Mac it's my absolute favorite, but on PC I do use it only seldom, using Opera since v3 and not being disappointed, it still is my choice.
Anyway: Apple (and the Webkit dev-team) did an amazing job! Browsing is really fun with Safari.
If only it's download size would be smaller, but that must be because of the libs needed to realize it's unique Apple-typical "feel" (GUI blending, skin, etc). Still no reason to rate it less than it deserves.

Too heavy. It´s so slow and down my pc 3 times in an hour!!! It´s very cool but not useful for me.

Hi, I enjoyed Safari on XP, but with new fullversion appeared a problem I can't solve: Closing the programm, all the history clears, allthough in Preferences one week or other position is and Private browsing is not activated.
What's the matter?

i like this browser, it's like chrome with more options, running very fast.
the previous version had some bugs under vista 64, especially about the cpu usage that was too high sometimes running webpages including flash applications. hope this build corrects this.
except that, this is a very good browser, as fast as chrome and faster than all other browsers.

Not worth the browser war!
Here is the change log in brief:
This update is recommended for all Safari users and improves the stability of the Nitro JavaScript engine and includes the latest compatibility and security fixes.

I am curious ...
Download size:
IE 8 = 13300 kb
Firefox = 7804 kb
Opera = 6734 kb
Netscape = 5918 kb
Safari = 27160 kb
Safari is more than twice the size of IE 8 and more than 4 1/2 times larger than Netscape. Why? What does this browser have that other browsers do not? I've downloaded it and I shall take a look at it ... and give it a fair trial. But like previous versions of the Safari browser, I will probably go back to using another browser. But I really want to know what I'm getting with Safari that I'm not getting with the others.
