Safari is a web browser developed by Apple and offered bundled with Mac OS X and iOS. It was first released as a public beta on January 7, 2003.
Safari version for Windows was first releasedJune 11, 2007 and is supported since the release of Windows XP Service Pack 2, in all later versions of the OS. However, the support for this Windows browser has recently been discontinued. Version Safari 5.1.7, released on May 9, 2012, was the last available for Windows. For this reason, version 5.0 has become the most well-known and widely used application.
Version 5.0 Apple Safari browser for Windows included a new feature for reading news, quick settings for JavaScript and URL search, improved address bar and many other useful, but not outstanding improvements. Its most significant update — support for custom extensions — made it a Firefox browser.
However, Safari for Windows version 5 installs quickly and with less effort. Providing e-mail for receiving messages and registration are optional.
In order to test a new featurereading, just go to your favorite news site and click "History." To do this, you need to find the gray button to the right of the URL in the address bar (where you usually see the RSS button). Click on it and you will see the story on a pure white background, which includes just records, with links and photos, but without ads, navigation or other clutter. This is a good way to read the necessary materials, using the settings at the bottom to increase or decrease data. In addition, Safari for Windows also supports sending history by e-mail or printing it.
Apple representatives also claim that the engineNitro JavaScript in this browser is about a third faster than Safari 4; is on par with Google Chrome and works twice as fast as Firefox 3.6. The PCWorld speed tests in Safari for Windows have confirmed a clear advantage over Firefox, but as a rule, Chrome is much faster.
By setting in the address bar Safari 5 search amonghistory of visited pages and bookmarks, you instantly get all the information in the drop-down list below. This panel, first introduced in Firefox 3, provides the user with a great advantage to being able to quickly get to the place you want to find.
Other changes include adding support.HTML5, the ability to set Bing as the default search option, as well as the expected security patches. But the biggest changes Safari has offered for Windows XP are to provide new support for installing extensions and browser plug-ins a la Firefox.
Supported add-ons can block ads, sync bookmarks and passwords. However, the choice of such plugins is very limited.
In other words, if you are looking for windowsalternative browser, Safari does not offer great advantages and does not differ in any special features. Given that his support is currently discontinued, it is better to make your choice between Chrome and Firefox. At least, the last two browsers are regularly updated and maintained by developers, and their functionality is not inferior, and in some ways even surpasses Safari. We can safely say that today, users do not need to endure any limitations and inconveniences, because the choice of applications for work is growing every day.
