Apple has boasting over its Safari 4 for the past few days. The new iteration of the web client claims that it’s the fastest of all the web browsers available currently. According to Apple, Safari 4 is powered via Nitro engine that renders JavaScript 4.2 times faster than the engine used in Safari 3. Another prominent feature of the 4th version of Safari is that it’s the first web browser to support HTML 5 database and advanced CSS features.

But still it doesn’t mean that the Safari 4 will bring an end to all the browsing issues. Certain lab tests show that the Safari is still open to hacking and lacks a full proof code. Charlie Miller, who embarrassed the Apple MacBook Air and was the winner of last year’s Pwn2Own hacking contest, stated that Safari 4 is easy to crack and can be hacked multiple times. Apple has always been disgraced for its unsecured codes and this time also it seems that the company will fail to offer a much secured web browser.

Apart from this the experts believe that the Safari 4 will not offer anything faster in real time. No, that doesn’t mean that there’s some problem with the Nitro. Nitro engine is very much enhanced and works fine under controlled conditions but when it comes to real world web browsing the main bottlenecks are the bandwidth available for downloading content and workflow of the application. It simply implies that a poorly designed web site cannot be loaded speedily, although the Java Script engine can render the pages and execute the content at a blazing speed. So, this is not actually a problem of Safari 4 but as far as the code security is concerned the developers can still do something extra.

Apple Safari has gone through lots of criticisms since its launch. Most of the time the browser was disgraced because of its security loopholes. Safari 4, the latest version of Safari browser claims to be much more secured and reliable than its predecessors. The new iteration of the Apple Safari breaks all the obstructions and now provides more functionality and improved user interaction by supporting HTML 5 codes.

We all know that HTML is the basic language that works behind any web portal. The HTML 5 is the latest version of Hyper Text Markup Language and offers enhanced functionality and improved presentation. It offers support for audio and video tags which makes it easy for the developers to integrate the audiovisuals with the website core code easily. Safari 4 promises to support such codes along with the next-generation web standards. This means the fourth version of the browser will the best to unleash the next level of sophistication and user interaction that Web 2.0 offers.

Safari 4 offers an enhanced way of experiencing the dynamic web content such as flash animations, audio, video and much more. Of course, just like earlier versions of Safari, Safari 4 can be run on any Windows PC, be it the Samsung NC10 netbook, or the Dell Latitude XT tablet PC. Safari 4 also supports Cascading Style Sheets 3 (CSS 3) to offer a stupendous web site presentation. You will now experience new gradients and reflections along with some other visual elements. Apart from Apple, Mozilla has also decided to include support for HTML 5 in the future releases of Firefox.

It is sad news for Opera fans. The Apple App Store has rejected the Opera Mini application developed by Opera engineers for the iPhone. It has been rejected on the grounds of duplicating functionality. Apple executives claim Opera Mini is similar to the Mobile Safari on the iPhone. The features of the Mobile Safari are simply fantastic.

Users of the iPhone can pinch-in/double click to zoom out and pinch-out/double click to zoom in,. Users can open upto eight tabs on their screen and can use as a Word/Excel document and PDF reader. The Mobile Safari is actually the fastest mobile browsers available in the market. Users feel that they should be provided the opportunity to try out other web browsers on their iPhone so they can have a totally new web browsing experience.

The Opera Mini web mobile browser is very popular and is already available on many smartphones, like the HTC P3450, but Apple simply would not allow it to be featured on its iPhone. The Opera Mini mobile web browser has the capacity to interpret codes and this is something Apple will not allow on its iPhone. The Opera Mini can be run on any operating system like Symbian, Windows Mobile and even low-end systems that run only Java-based applications.

Not only is it easy to install, it is also intuitive. That is what makes it a favorite contender as an alternative web browser for the Safari on the iPhone. While many users of the iPhone feel tat Apple should allow Opera Mini on the iPhone, Apple does not think so and has categorically rejected the proposal.

The Apple App Store is receiving more and more third party web browsers everyday. All the browsers have got a unique set of features. Some claim to be the most speedy web browsers, some boast of extra functions they offer to the user and some endorse simplicity at its best. The Full Screen Web Browser (FSWB) is the latest third party application released for the iPhone.

The speciality of FSWB is that it uses each and every pixel of the iPhone’s 480×320 display to display the web page. Of course, owners of the Apple iPod touch can also make full use of the browser’s capabilities. You may wonder that such full screen browsers have already been released but unlike them the FSWB does not sacrifices address bar and navigation bar. It displays the address bar and a translucent navigator at the bottom but these two options are automatically hide after few seconds. Shake your iPhone and the accelerometer will bring these two items again on the screen. The makers of FSWB claim that it increases the display area by 25 percent in portrait mode as compared to Safari browser. In landscape mode the viewable area extends by 40 percent that leverages web surfing.

Performance wise the FSWB is same as Apple Safari. This is because the Full Screen Web Browser is based on the safari’s WebKit engine. In order to incorporate stringent security parameters the history option is not included in FSWB. So you have to type full URL each time you visit a web page. You have to sacrifice tabbed browsing too if you wish to use FSWB.

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.

You will find a lot of vital features in Safari’s tabs which are absent in the other browsers. Safari tabs are more creative and exciting to work with. The major advantage of Safari tabs is you can drag a tab and it will show you a small snapshot of the web page associated with that tab. If you drop that tab anywhere outside the tab bar, a new window will open showing the web page of the corresponding tab. If you are working with more than one tab at a time, you can also rearrange them by simply clicking on a tab and moving it either left or right inside the tab bar. You can clearly see that the movement of other tabs when they adjust themselves according to the shifted one. This animated property of tabs makes it easier for the users to determine where the tab will get placed (which is being shifted) and how this rearrangement of tabs will look like. Mozilla Firefox does not have these kinds of animated tabs and thus I frequently face issues whenever I rearrange my tabs. Apple has really shown a great piece of innovation.
