Apple Safari: Making Tabbed Browsing Easier
Apple Safari has really come up with highly interactive and user-friendly tabs. Today a lot of other web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet explorer and Netscape Navigator offer tabbed web surfing, but the way Apple Safari has created its tabs totally captures the interest of window users.

No commentsSafari’s Menus are still a hindrance
The Apple Safari Menu
Last week I found that no menu appears when I right click on the tool bar. This week my internet work speed slowed down because of lack of appropriate options in the Apple Safari’s menu, which pops up when I right click in the area where the web page is displayed. There are some options which I use frequently in Mozilla Firefox, but they all are missing in Safari’s menu. Options which facilitate background image viewing and sending the web page links are missing. One of the most important option ‘Select All’ is also not there in the Safari’s menu. Therefore I was not able to select all the text on the web page quickly and easily. Read more

No commentsWhere can I get option for Add-Ons in Safari?
Can anybody help me with the Add-ons in Safari for Windows XP? I am not getting interactive menus for installing new add-ons and themes for my Safari. When I click on the Window add-on option in Safari, it shows me the complete list of installed add-ons as a web page. But I was expecting the list of Add-ons in a separate window from where I can install new Add-ons and themes to customize my Safari according to my taste. Read more
No commentsSafari gets one step ahead
Apple Safari for windows XP is still ahead of the Mozilla’s Firefox due to its animated pop up windows. For the first time, Apple has introduced great style of presenting the pop up windows which comes out when you select any particular option from the menu bar. For example: If you click on Edit on the menu bar and select the last option i.e. Preferences, you will get a window popped out on your screen. Now the way this window has been designed is just fantastic. Read more

No commentsSafari’s toolbar needs to be revised
No doubt that Apple Safari for Windows is faster than Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, in fact initially this was the only feature which made me to shift from Firefox to Safari, but one thing which disappoints me is its toolbar. Read more
No commentsSafari provides better ‘Menus’ than Firefox
One thing which I feel good about Safari for windows is that its menus are more handy and useful if compared to the menus of Mozilla Firefox. Safari’s menus are easy to understand especially the bookmarks are very easy to manage. Firefox bookmarks always leave me confused and messed up with URLs. Another feature of safari which delights me is its stylish pop-up windows which come down when you click on Add Bookmark option. Safari also gives you the option to block pop up windows on different sites in its menu only. The most annoying thing which I feel about Mozilla Firefox is that it does not have Window option in its menu which I use a lot. Read more

FYI: Apple’s Safari Uses Webkit — an Open Source Project
One of the best things about Apple’s Safari is the fact that it Is an open source project and in this regard then, it is leagues ahead of the Internet explorer for the simple reason that it comes unbound and doesn’t necessitate you to have an ‘ MSN Messenger” or something that you don’t want to use.
Open Source projects are usually free or come at a very low cost compared to the commercial projects. Also, they have a thriving and very supporting community of developers who always stand by to help you when you have trouble.
In the case of apple now, since they have used an open source project called as Webkit, you are not struck with the apple’s staff to help you out of technical problems but you have a full community of people like you who would have used or developed or both with regards to the software in question.
