Safari 4 beta – Fast and Stable
Apple Inc. just released Safari 4 on February 25th, 2009. It has some amazing features such as Top Sites, Coverflow, Full History Search, Tabs On Top (like Google Chrome – Tabs in the title bar), Nitro Engine, Windows Native Look and Feel, and Developer Tools. Is that it? No way! It’s also got Full Page Zoom, Smart Address Field, Smart Search Field, Phishing and Malware protection and 150 other features.
The core feature that outshines the other top browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer right now is it’s Nitro Engine. Still the world’s fastest web browser, Safari outraces Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. On even the most demanding Web 2.0 applications, Safari delivers blazingly fast performance thanks to the industry’s most advanced rendering technologies.
Using the new Nitro Engine, for example, Safari executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and more than 3 times faster than Firefox 3 based on performance in leading industry benchmark tests: iBench and SunSpider.
