Organize your bookmarks just like you organize music in iTunes.

to be honest all it's major ''selling points'', i can get with firefox. with the exception of inline find.

however firefox is not without its follies.

but isn't safari incompatible with a lot of things? or is that opera?

Im actually a fan of opera. Everyone should download operamini for web browsing on your phones..its f**kin ace to be honest

Don't Mac users spend half their time cursing about how shit Safari is?

No, Safari is actually quite good. I use Safari on my Mac and Firefox on my PC, mainly because firefox for Mac is rubbish. Safari renders pages better than IE most of the time. I'm not sure why you would use it instead of Firefox on Windows though. I wonder what Apple is planning. Anyway, I'm gonna have a look now.

I've been using Safari for the past 10 minutes or so (on my PC) and it looks quite nice. But unfortunately it won't let you post replies on TF, so what's the point?

Maybe just for pron, eh? (private browsing = best invention ever)

You tried camino on your mac tomm?

I did for a bit but I wasn't that impressed with that either. Mostly I just like the plugins for Firefox, and there aren't any for Camino. Now I have just settled with Safari and we get on fine. Since I don't use a mouse with my laptop very often at all, I'm not fussed about the lack of mouse gestures (and in fact you can get mouse gestures with safari). But mostly Safari is the fastest browser so I'm happy. Firefox is really slow on my Mac.

Not even a day after Apple unleashed its Safari 3 beta into the wild, security researchers have found a host of security issues for both the Mac OS X and Windows versions.

Security researcher David Maynor (of Black Hat Airport vulnerability fame) details on his blog 6 vulnerabilities, 4 of which were denial of service and 2 were remote code execution. In addition, Maynor claims that one of the bugs found is weaponizable.

Separately, Thor Larholm writes in his blog (which is mentioned by Maynor) another vulnerability involving the Safari beta on Windows, where Safari does not properly validate command-line input. To round out the vunerabilities, Aviv Raff discovered a memory corruption issue that caused Safari on Windows to crash.

In each incident, the researchers seemed to take issue with Apple's claim that "Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one." To be fair, the software is still in beta, although the beta on OS X overwrites the user's previous version of Safari.

However, you've gotta take into account its only a Beta version, so you'd expect holes like this. That's when they get patched up.

The only reason anyone could want that, is to test websites in Safari without finding a Mac to test it on.

When i next cut-up a website i'll no doubt be downloading this and saving myself a lot of hassle and effort.

For anyone else, it'll be a shit browsing experience. If you don't have flash/website plug-in, safari will crash, on vista it doesn't display bold text, etc etc.

Its a developers browsers, not a users browsers, which is kind of sad really, but awesome for people like me. :D

The severity of some of the wholes found (several claim to be able to take control of the entire host pc) should have never even got past apples internal testing.
