Apple Safari to be released for the Windows Platform!


Recommended Posts

The Windows Version seems different.. I don't know why it just doesn't fit in right with Windows.

It seems to give me a second lag when i maximize and minimize windows

Rendering is very fast the text looks great (I am guessing it installed an Apple font), It would be allot faster if I was uncapped - 64k right now :(

It has an option to add Stylesheets!! - Excellent now I can do Wonders with webpages!

It grabs links in firefox, that is pretty smart if you ask me.

It comes with spellcheck :D

It comes with the Apple style preferences!

I love this browser, its great sure its still at beta stage but I love it. If only you can tweak the interface.. if so I would make the switch instantly!

Ummm where is my Ctrl+Enter and Shift+Enter. That is necessary. Hell even IE has Ctrl+Enter. Add that functionality and I'll try it again.

Yeah, honestly, these are the key features that will determine if I will use a browse or not. I've gotten so used to them that I absolutely cannot live without them anymore. Without the ability to add your own keyboard shortcuts, or to just add these, I'll never end up using this browser.

My thoughs:

-Skin don't fit in Windows and seems to be not skinable

-Feels like a Firefox clone to me with Apple trademark of limited personification.

-Slow UI in Windows

It seems that anyone thing similar.

Well, if Safari own in MACOSX it don't in Windows.

But for users that share Mac and PC in their life will be happy to have the same browser in both.

Just downloaded Safari. The font doesn't look too good compared to IE7. It does load Neowin faster than IE7 on some occasion, which is good enough for me, as Neowin is the slowest site I visit (no offence, guys).

It's just a big mess... Back to IE7! NOT A SINGLE PAGE renders properly.. It's terrible.. Youtube suddenly hides all links and Video Titles and Usernames, neowin also hides all usernames.. If only someone could pass me the font that's used..

Well I think Safari 3 beta is my new browser on Mac. I can't try it on Vista till later tonight but if it's like everyone else it sounds there is a decent amount of bugs. I really could care less that it uses more ram if it's faster, Mac laptop has 1GB and my Vista PC has 2GB. I'm probably getting another computer in 2-4 months and it will probably have 4GB of ram.

Anyways still need to try it on Windows but looking great on Mac :)

Posting this within Safari and Vista, it feels so different that it doesn't fit in with Windows at all. The color scheme is match Windows and it feels much different. They should change the skin more and colors, work on the buttons and other things as well.

Font smoothing looks blurry on all setting, medium is the best but when compared to FF or IE7 its pretty bad. Hardly any rendering bugs for me but the UI is slow and looks out of place. Sidescrolling from my trackpad isn't working either.

PLUS, like iTunes it doesn't support minimize animations in Vista or drop shadows (done on purpose?)...how do you go about making an app this borked. I guess that's why they call it BETA

The theme blends... if your using the Black/Orange XP Zune theme free from Microsoft.

If you go to Window -> Plugins pulls up a the installed browser plugins looks like the old netscape plugin as well using netscape based plugins. (Pre-Firefox plugin system)

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
