DanManIt Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) I'm using it now, the only problems that I've had are: back and forward buttons on mouse dont work, pushing in the middle click button to use for scrolling doesn't work, and exiting out tabs with the middle click doesn't work. Overall, I like the look of the browser but it definitely isn't as good as firefox. Edit: The other problem I saw was that when opening up the bookmark panel, then returning to the web page, it would reload the web page, which I thought was unnecessary.

ozgeek Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) I installed this on my Vista Ulitmate and here are the bugs I found: - When I maximize the window on my second monitor, the window disappear from view and I have to right-click on the tab in taskbar and click move to move it back into view, then the window is in maximized mode, but then I could move it around. - My MX1000 acts in basic mode (meaning that I can't use the forward and back buttons on it :( ) - How do I resize the window? - What does the lock icon next to the caption buttons do?

-Hiroshi- Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 o_O am I the only one that Safari's been working perfectly for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 o_O am I the only one that Safari's been working perfectly for? It works perfectly for me too. The only thing I don't like is that there is no way to override website fonts, and some websites use ugly fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 o_O am I the only one that Safari's been working perfectly for? No, Safari 3 works fine for me on OS X, XP and Vista. In fact, I've even gone back to using it as my default browser on OS X, I really like it more than Camino 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kompressor Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 lets see when this is released as final whether it will crash after a windows update downloads some fixes to screw up safari. lol I wouldn't put it past Microsoft IE devs to release a update that causes safari to run like crap. lol they will do anything to keep market share.

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 14, 2007 Safari installed fine on my two Vista installs. Not on my XP install though. The menu text disappeared. After trying one of the suggestions - deleting the .TTF files in %PROGRAMFILES%\Safari\Safari.resources, it's fixed... sort of: The bolded menu text looks way too blurry. I'll grab a screenshot of Safari on Vista sometime later. lets see when this is released as final whether it will crash after a windows update downloads some fixes to screw up safari. lolI wouldn't put it past Microsoft IE devs to release a update that causes safari to run like crap. lol they will do anything to keep market share. Eh... after two years of being in the market, barely any Windows updates - if any - deliberately caused Firefox to crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well, I hope that th epeople who encounter problems with the fonts or whatever at least send bug reports in rather than just complain and not contribute :ninja: Once the hungry RAM eating issue is fixed, I'll probably use it much more.

Toology Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Safari has an Internet Explorer feel for me. I feel limited, I miss my Firefox extensions (which I have found no way of mimicking in Safari), I miss customizing behaviors. An example being that Safari only allows you to choose a different directory for downloads but doesn't provide a setting that prompts you every time to choose a behavior (i.e: Open With, Save to Disk...) I do like that Safari makes moving tabs around easier by nudging other tabs out of the way. You have to drag a tab all the way in front of another tab or behind it to move it in Firefox. I also got virus alerts from NOD32 while browsing sites I know I can trust in Safari. Compounded with the memory leak(s) it's unusable for practical browsing at this stage. However, even with the bug fixes that are to come it still doesn't come off as a spectacular browser. It's uninstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see such functionality in Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexess Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Using Safari, holy crap didn't even know they had Safari for Windows until they released this update. I wish you could turn off font smoothing. 70MB usage with just this page open. Otherwise, works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
