Safari for Windows - Get yours Now!

It’s Safari, the fast and reliable internet browser from Apple. It’s here, and it’s on Windows. I is currently still in public beta. If you’re still using Internet Explorer, it’s the best time to switch, now that we have one more alternative browser added to the list.

So, guys, which one will you choose to switch to? It’s your choice: Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Netscape or Safari? We’ll leave it to you. Mozilla Firefox, to date, is the world’s safest browser. Opera is the world’s fastest. And of course, Safari, now it’s out for Windows, it claims to be faster and more reliable than the rest.

So, I did a test. First, we will be testing for speed and reliability. As this page is full of varied content like Javascript, Flash, .png, .jpg and .gif Images and text, we first tried loading this page (http://hotdvl666.byethost7.com/blog) with Mozilla Firefox. It took 18 seconds to finish loading everything. Since it can handle all types of content, it is certainately a reliable browser.

With Opera, we did the same thing. It took 16 seconds to finish loading everything. Remarkable, reliable and speedy. With Safari, it took almost the same speed as Opera, also hitting a time of around 16 seconds. Internet Explorer, however, took 18 seconds to finish loading everything, and with two images unloaded. The YouTube video was also unable to display in IE. So, Opera gets to keep its title, and Safari deserves the same title too.

Now, we will be testing for safety and security. We will be visiting a site full of pop-under ads, PacketNews. In Firefox and Opera, all of the ads were blocked. In Safari and Internet Explorer, however, all the ads were being displayed. So, we can conclude that after all, Safari is not that secure and safe as Opera and Firefox.

So, after all I have said, I will leave it to you guys whether you want to move to Safari. You can download Safari 3 for Windows public beta from the Apple website here.
