    Safari 3

    Guys you have got to check this shit out! Apple released the Safari 3 Beta which now works on windows... It's loading stuff fuckloads faster than Firefox and IE.

    http://www.apple.com/safari/

    Everything runs perfect on it from what I've loaded up in it. Check it out!

    Edit:
    It seems to be running alot smoother than firefox at the moment... It doesn't have that sluggish delay like its uploading my post it just well goes to the next screen and says the post has been edited or posted. I don't know this could just be my opinion of it. It does have a few bugs but nothings perfect when it starts out on a new OS amiright?

    Safari is trash. Everyone I've talked to who's used the Windows port has had it crash on them within the first hour of using it. Not even mac people use Safari. They get Firefox for Mac.

    Re: Safari 3

    Hm... I havn't had it crash yet. Bookmarks work just like firefox same with tabs and it seems to load a bit faster on websites I constantly visit. Ah well... It's working fine for me and as I said nothing is perfect when something is first ported over thats why there is a bug report. If your willing to download something and try it and it crashes report it otherwise it probably won't get better. I'm going to try it for a few more days and maybe get a little more personal experience with it but it's not like I'm going to say "Hey safari its replacing firefox right... now!" !

    We were testing it on IRC the other night.

    The general consensus came to an agreement that it was utter bollocks

    Re: Safari 3

    Meh it's only beta? lol I'm sure if I gave one of your friends windows vista they could make it crash to... But with the stuff I do it hasn't crashed so I'm content. Also, I won't be switching from firefox ! Just testing it out playing around with it.

    So far seem pretty nice. I'm not a fan of the font smoothing(though light isn't bad). My only complaint so far is that my mouse buttons don't work. Back, forward and clicking with the wheel. It's nice and fast though with lots of viewing space.

    Re: Safari 3

    I can promise you this crashes less than the first release of IE on Windows.

    Just give it some time, the more choices we have for browsers the better.

    Thank you Devek. I also like a variety of browsers because I help friends with HTML so I go through with the browsers and see whats wrong with it and it really helps them alot.
