Title: Review: Apple Safari 5
Post by: Simon on July 05, 2010, 23:45

While all eyes were on the iPhone 4 launch this week, Apple also snuck out the latest version of its web browser. Happily it’s not a case of burying bad news: the new Safari brings some real improvements over previous versions.

Outwardly, though, Safari 5 looks identical to the previous version, and that means a few quirks still betray its cross-platform heritage. For example, the address field and forward/back buttons retain OS X style shading and borders, subtly alienating Safari from the native Windows applications that surround it. The menu bar – a non-issue on OS X – appears only when you press Alt, and there’s no way to make it stick. And preferences dialogs lack OK buttons, which is disconcerting even if you’re familiar with the OS X standard that settings take effect as soon as you click the option.

I've never like Safari, just not as good as firefox.

I tried it but didn't like it either.
