The Mac version of Safari is better than the Windows version but it's still a bad browser.

HornyToad reviewed v4.0 on Jun 9, 2009

How strange so many things changed in Safari 4's GUI between the last beta and this final version...! Strange indeed that "they" abandoned the tab bar in the upper portion of the interface, and that "they" also reversed course as to the progress bar, not back to the blue tide (yet?), but not exactly as bland and non-informative as the simple spinning grey wheel either.

Aside from that, Safari 4 on my MBP running Tiger with all the bells and whistles is very fast at rendering web pages, quick to start up too, and rendering is so far flawless. I still deplore the fact that its interface can't be more easily customized, but in terms of speed and stability, it's a good application. Don't know yet if I'm ready to ditch Opera as default browser, though...

Sorry to rain on your parade, guys, but I just installed it, only to uninstall it immediately, because it just wouldn't start (Safari had to quit, would you like to send a report to Apple? By all means, Steve...).

Got back to Saf4 Dev Preview, which works just fine, thanks...

Version 2 is more stable, that is for sure. :(

Opera's CSS and standards support in general is very impressive in my opinion.

dukdukgoos reviewed v1.2 on Feb 2, 2004

Safari is a very good browser for CSS support, second only to Mozilla-based browsers. IE actually has pretty poor CSS support. Mozilla/Opera/Safari are much better.

Sorry, not a review but a question... How does it handle CSS's (cascading style sheets)? One of the biggest problems for all the non Microsoft browsers is they don't deal with CSS's very well.

I was using Safari since the earliest beta. Well done Apple, very impressive! Respect to Mozilla, but they are lucky that Safari runs only on Mac.

bsf reviewed v1.0 on Jun 23, 2003

mac is increasingly making good softwares.
(I don't like their　quicktime though, but there's definitely no need to port to windows though. IE/Mozilla/and whatever other browsers out there is quite enough for windows users.

I do use macs, and Safari blows, not as bad as IE on the mac but it blows. However now that Firebird is being ported over to Mac the situation will soon rectify itself

Alex T. reviewed v1.0 Beta 2 Build 74 on May 17, 2003

People. Safari doesn't need to be ported to Windows!! Thats why Opera exists, stop using IE and use Opera its the fastes most user friendly browser out there!

fxer80, don't be a d***.
Just because you don't use Mac, doesn't mean you have to act like a retard. I have used Safari, and have to say that I thought it was a pretty solid program.

Spam Inspector don't work on user accounts with access rights of "regular user" (OS Windows 2000 Pro). No problem with admin privileges but using accounts for internet access with such high privileges isn't acceptable for me.

xwtx reviewed v1.0 Beta 2 Build 73 on Apr 14, 2003

apple will never port this to windows, however i'm sure someone will do it on their own eventually.

phoenix for the PC is pretty much the same as safari on the Mac IMO.....

although, i'm partial to safari :)

virtorio reviewed v1.0 Beta 2 Build 73 on Apr 14, 2003

I wish somebody would port this to Windows. Does any body know if there are any projects to port it to windows?

I use this at school. It's speed and simplicity is great.

galaxie reviewed v1.0 Beta 2 Build 73 on Apr 14, 2003

I tried it on my friends mac, blows away any windows based browser i've seen, damn fast page rendering.

I wish i had 3 grand canadian to blow on a computer right now.. come on apple.. port to intel/amd, i'm sure it wouldn't take much, your using a bsd kernel, i'm using a bsd kernel.. on a pc.. come on.. port port port!

First off, keep it up MAC? How about keep it up Apple? That would make a little mroe sense. Secondly, each time that I try safari, it continues to disappoint me. The GUI is disgusting and takes up too much space, and I don't see ANY speed differences between it and IE. To me, it seems as though this is just another one of Apple's moves to try and create their own product that just ends up being made to try and copy others already out there. There just isn't a need for this browser. Nice try Apple, but you missed the target.

all i can say is wow, im sorry for all you windows lovers but i used to use windows and i just switched and it is amazing how much better things run. Keep it up MAC!!

Great software, extremely fast. It blows away IE 5.2.2! I've had no issues with any sites I've visited with the most recent beta.

neo1980 reviewed v1.0 Beta (v51) on Feb 2, 2003

Amazing speedy and efficient browser, I have one request, please make this available for WIndows platform like you have made Quicktime available,

netsweeper reviewed v1.0 Beta (v51) on Jan 16, 2003

Fast and pretty reliable even though it's a beta. This browser is Mac OS X only. But it is based on the KDE Browser. So if you want to use somthing similar try loading Linux with the Kbrowser.

larnell20 reviewed v1.0 Beta (v51) on Jan 16, 2003

will this be coming out for PC's as a alterternative to IE?

hectorlb reviewed v1.0 Beta (v51) on Jan 15, 2003

Finally, a Mac OS X web browser fast as you want.

There are some features I would like to see, like everyone asks, Tabbed Browsing, and the ability to view the Link Location, because you never know where are you going when you click a link.
Other than that, It'just awesome, fast as any Windows browser out there.
