Safari 4.0.5

Post Reply New Topic

It's damn fast, I'm surprised, even fastar than chrome

Try the Webkit nightly builds- they're a couple months ahead of the official Safari releases and even faster.

i've seen them but since I mostly use my home computer for work I'm kinda lazy trying them lol
I think what stops me from using it is the fugly gold logo.

btw here's link to nightly builds in case anyone is interested.

Opera 10.5 is faster than both.

I actually like the gold logo.

Maybe, but the Opera team hasn't gotten around to supporting any real operating systems yet- 10.5 only runs on Windows. The pre-release version on Mac right now is a mess.

EDITED
**rant about the logo and color in the world, that no one will care about.**

I finally got around to updating Safari. Why do they make you reboot your Mac for Safari? I update Webkit almost every day and never reboot for it. Still haven't launched Safari 4.0.5, though. I'm using the most recent Webkit build from three days ago- a much longer gap than I usually experience from them.

Also, still waiting for Opera to decide they still care about being cross-platform. I mean, in their feature set they are targeting Windows 7 users a lot more heavily, and I can live with that, but letting the versions for Mac and Linux lag behind so badly is starting to annoy me.

i do'nt know why the reboot, maybe just to piss ocds off... like me

speaking of reboots and bad software, i hate the flip4mac bundle with MS silverlight, a >24mb download for a 800kb file!



out.
*getting used to gaudy Webkit logo*

I'm gonna avoid MS Silverlight for as long as humanly possible.

You're on Mac only right? The Mac version of Chrome sucks. It doesn't seem like Google is even trying. Chrome is a lot faster on Windows and Linux.

Opera 10.5 runs just fine on my desktop in Ubuntu. It's even running on a friend's old Mac G4 with no problems at all.

Today's Webkit is unstable as hell, don't download it.

The pre-release versions of Opera always eat insane amounts of CPU on OS X. And I mean fan blasting, laptop overheating amounts of CPU to render one tab. I haven't tried the pre-release version in Ubuntu yet, but they made the stable Windows release quite some time ago and I wish they'd get around to remembering the other platforms.

Also, I find it hard to believe you about 10.5 running on your friend's old Mac G4. 10.5 beta does not support PPC Macs, and by all reports the snapshots are still quite flaky on PPC.

No Linux version makes Safari a no no for my needs.

The recent version of Firefox version 3.6.2 has been really stable on my Linux system.

yep, me and gf even have an altar for S. Jobs
