Jay Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Apples Safari is now available for Windows XP and Vista anyone else trying it? It's sort of a cross between ITunes and Firefox I have to say from what I have seen so far I am pretty impressed liking the way it looks and operates
Simi Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Any screen shots ? Not sure I understand what it is from your description ?
Daggers Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 You're the first I've heard say nice things about it Jay...in fact, most Apple-heads have roundly slagged it. I was just reading a piece about it yesterday that concluded the world could well do without another web browser ~ especially one that doesn't really get used on its home system. I may download it to have a peek this weekend mind.
Jay Posted 15 June 2007 Author Posted 15 June 2007 Any screen shots ? Not sure I understand what it is from your description ? It's the Internet Browser that has been running on Macs for ages and they have now released it for windows! if you download it you will see what I mean by the Itunes crossed with Firefox look!! more info here

Simi Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Ok, I've downloaded, how do I set it as my default browser. Not changed anything like this in ages.

Simi Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Right, well it's installed now. Seems to of made the internet run a bit quicker. Much more mordern than Internet Explorer but I'm sure there will be some problems eventually.
potter3 Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 The major issues for it were:frequent crashing non-storage of open tabs problems with bookmarks Never ha any of those problems, still use Firefox though Actually just remembered the reason, some websites aren't set up for Safari or something, whereas they are for Firefox.
Simi Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 I like this a lot. Everything does seem to load a lot quicker. The layout is very much like iTunes. Much more easier on the eye aswell. Thanks Jay
