Apple Safari to be released for the Windows Platform!


Recommended Posts

Actually I find it true, it's a lot quicker than I anticipated..

Yeah I found it awesome speed wise the only downfall was the memory which spiked so quickly and the scrolling issue...

Using the Windows version... The lack of a drop down marker in the URL bar and the inability to middle click a tab to close it is really starting to tick me off...

BTW is spell check working for anyone else?

edit: Using 75 MB RAM with one tab open.

It suppossed to spell check? Well it didnt. Btw, how do I delete entire word? In all other windows browsers CTRL+backspace works. Not in Safari. Plus clicking on the address bar does not select whats in it. Thats definitely a pain in the ass. And any way to import feeds from IE (or an OPML file for that matter?)

Yes. It appears to have some kind of spell check. Check out Edit > Spelling > Check spelling while typing.

It stll did not. Actually the item is not getting checked at all. And didnt Safari have an integrated PDF reader? Mine still opens up Adobe Reader 8 (and I cant seem to find a way to disable that).

Apple's Safari beta is probably designed to run on WindowsXP Service Pack 2 with all the current updates.

Well it's running beautifully for me on Vista Ultimate x64.

No, it didn't. There is a plugin you can download for the Mac version, but it's not built-in.

Now using FIVE browsers ...

IE7 (primary browser)

FF2 (used for my daily comics, so I don't get the popups)

Opera 9 (for checking my websites)

Netscape 9 (just for testing it)

Safari 3 (again, just testing it, and I've been wanthing this for years...)

Anyone else find it impossible to navigate FTP sites in Safari 3.0 Beta? Typing in an FTP site just opens the Download Manager and places a file on the desktop which opens a MS-DOS prompt.

this is great news, been wanting to try out this web browser for ages now and now i finally get the chance, only 2 things, rss is different in this, cant do the drop down menus from the toolbar to look for new headlines, and also, i know it imports my bookmarks auto, but is there any way i can import my passwords aswell?

to be honest buddy, i would recommend using a ftp client, its alot better for download with such as CuteFTP

I do use an FTP client (FileZilla), but if I just want to quickly download a file from FTP, I find using a web browser is alot easier.

I browse alot of ftp's using browser but if its something big I just use Smartftp...the public ftp's work alright tho :)

just heard about this today.. Downloading and using, and I must say I am pleased at first..

Fonts are "ok" just looks like clearfont isn't turned on.

Biggest problem for me is HORRIBLE color. That metal look has got to go. Are there any themes yet? lol

And the highlighting the entire word on the address bar annoys me too..

BTW is there anyway to have it open links in a new tab instead of new window without having to hold down ctrl+alt+del+yourfirstborn ?

I don't know what you guys did wrong but it works fantastic here. My only complaint is that it does use a decent chunk of RAM, and uses upwards of 80MB+ sometimes. If they can fix that I think it's set.

Fresh install of Vista, Office 2007, Halo & Halo 2, Newsleecher, SmartFTP, iTunes+Quicktime. All updates applied. No issues.

I just downloaded and installed Safari. It seems to be working fine on my rig. Just a regular Windows XP Pro SP2. As for as fast or faster than IE..thats debatable. Memory wise, it uses about the same as what IE 7 is using. I will play around with it somemore before I make any final decisions or switching of browsers.

I'd love for Safari to run like this on my machine. Alas, I still have the bold-fonts-are-not-displayed issue. Without it I'd gladly switch to Safari - it is a lot faster than Firefox and IE.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
