Let’s go on a Safari!

South Africa? Kenya? Amboseli, Nairobi, Lake Nakuru or Masai Mara? No, thank you. This will do just fine too – Apple Safari 3 Public Beta on PC! They say it’s the fastest web browser on any platform. They claim it loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2. And they are pretty sure it executes JavaScript up to 2.8 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2. Give us a week and we’ll tell you. :)

First impressions: download percentage status in the address bar is great (to me that’s the coolest feature ever). Selected form elements look great, but what’s the deal with windows + os x window functionality fusion? I like the Preferences window, but why window resize has to be so hard, and where do you turn that darn clear type off? Actually, nothing works as expected, but hey – it’s a beta. :)
