Free new Browser by Safari for PC and Mac

Now available for PC - Safari the web browser that is shipped with Apple Macs and is apparently 2x faster than IE and 1.6x faster than Firefox. I am downloading it now to see if it's true, hat do you think?
AVAILABLE HERE

    Ive just downloaded this tonight after seeing an article on the beeb website about it. Seems pretty good, and very fast! :T :cool:

    hmmm.... found one annoying thing so far...

    when you hover your curser over the title of a thread in firefox, it shows you a bit of the first message...... doesnt work with safari :-(

    Totally crashes on loading every single time, I'll stick with Firefox, Opera & IE for now, at least they work without a hitch. :confused:

  • Keep in mind it's only a BETA (test) software. For those not willing to cope with a few errors best to wait until full release.

    I think there is a bit of poetic licence with their claims over the speed of safari versus firefox it seems slower with my usual sites.

    Also hate the way it deals with bookmarks, I want them on a drop down list not opening as a full screen, prob an option somewhere that i cannot find.

    theres a massive security hole in this beta version, which will allow hackers to take over your computer through the windows command prompt. it was found only 2 hours after the browser was released.

    stick with firefox or ie until the full version comes out.
