Apple Safari
Apple’s transition to Intel is at last absolute for consumers. Once the Power-Book got changed into the MacBook Pro, the iBook into the MacBook, and the iMac and Mac mini got microsoft substitutes, the pro desktop segment was the prime location for attack, a place where until now only Intel’s Core 2-based Xeon “Woodcrest” processors could manage.
Apple’s own powerful web browser is called ‘Safari’. It is engineered to render web pages with amazing speed and includes a number of innovative features. Safari is the in-built web browser for Mac OS X 10.2.8 and above. Safari claims to loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2 to become the fastest web browser on any platform. A dedicated effort to implement web standards of Apple was made for the development of Safari. Following the standards is the easiest way to ensure most favorable rendering of web pages in Safari.
Safari is clean and looks sleek. The browser frame is a mere one pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when you need one. There is no status bar. A blue progress bar fills the address field as the page loads giving you more room to browse through the web. It is even easier to manage the bookmarks. Single window interface opens on single click where you can browse, search, and organize bookmarks the same way as the extremely popular iTunes. With tabbed browsing in Safari, multiple web pages can be seen and switched in a single window. There is drag and drop in tabs also which enables it to be rearranged, open one in a new browser window, or merge all the current windows into one tabbed window.
