Apple's Safari Browser now available on Windows!

Just done an iTunes update on my PC to find that it's installed Safari too!!! On Windows!!! I thought that it had Safari as part of the iTunes software, not as a separate browser!

Get it here if you want it : http://www.apple.com/safari/

As a web designer, this is just too cool for words, as I can now not only check my designs in all versions of IE and Firefox, but I can now make sure they are spot on for Mac users too, without having to go to one of those 'create Safari Screenshot' sites which are a bit of a ballache, TBH.



I have just posted this from Safari, BTW

EDIT > It seems a lot faster than Firefox too, which I never thought could happen... Unfortunately, I've not found any cool add-ons like firefox... if it had that, I might be tempted to switch permanently. Looks like I'll have to chop and change depending on my needs for the moment!

Thanks for that Kirsty. I'll have a look and most likely use it for the same reasons as you.

Two things struck me straight away. Speed and font.

A strange thing happened though. As I was viewing one of my web pages the Tenerife Businesses ads appeared as an overlay down the left hand side. A quick refresh removed them. Have you noticed anything like this?

Kirsty, I have just run through a few of the 'heavy' sites and Safari is quicker.

My IE7 and Firefox browsing is not slow but yet there is a perceivable increase.

I agree with you regarding lack of add-ons. I love my Firefox addons.
