Now I've one more browser in my Web design tool box to test my designs. I installed the browser on my Win 2003 Server powered workstation and haven't faced any trouble (except a minor problem with the uses of sIFR on my blog) even after visiting more than 1K blogs. I must be lucky because I found too many people who weren't happy because of browser crashes and some font rendering bugs. I'm really impressed to see the stability of Safari in its beta stage. But I don't think that the availability of Safari on Windows is going to affect fat guys in the Web browser town (Firefox 2.0 and IE 7.0). And there is one more guy in this town called Opera. So, it already seems to be clear that Safari has miles to go if it wants to capture a good market share. The major problem that is going to stop Safari from making people switch their current browsers is the huge lack of features. The first thing that comes to mind is the lack of support for extensions. After using Firefox for years, I feel like I suddenly went 6yrs back (when I first started using computers) if I've to surf the WWW with a browser that doesn't support extensions. It feels odd if I can't use the holy Firebug and Web Developer extensions. It spoils my mood when I visit a blog and it throws a bucket full of advertisements on my face because of the lack of Adblock Plus extension. I agree that Safari renders pages faster than any other browser but without these extensions, I'm not going to use Safari to surf the Web. IMO, not only me, any Firefox user who uses StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, Web Developer, Firefox, Adblock Plus, Measure It and such other powerful extensions isn't going to switch to Safari. For now, I've decided to use Safari for doing nothing but reading blog articles and RSS feeds(because my eyes love anti-aliased texts!) and yep, for testing my designs. BTW, I found too many people discussing about the release of Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows and its relation with iPhone. What do you have to say about iPhone and its relation with this release? :) -A2.0 Since the moment I read the post titled “Safari now officially available for Windows” over at 456 Berea Street, I’ve been pretty happy because by releasing Safari 3 Beta for Windows family of operating systems, Apple has made my life a lot easier.
