| Download Apple Safari Browser |
Safari is Apple's stylish, easy-to-use Web browser for its Mac OS. Safari
for Windows lets PC users try Safari for themselves. Safari is a great way for
Windows users to take a bite of the Apple since, as a Web browser, it can only
be so different from the Big Three; IE, Firefox, and Chrome. We tried Safari 5
in Windows 7. Its new features include the Reading List, which collects Web
links and bookmarks that you want to check later.
Safari's page layout shows how much Web browser functionality dictates form
these days. Safari for Windows is plain but clean and intuitive, with many
similarities to other popular browsers as well as some differences. For
instance, the address bar searches the History rather than using your default
search engine.
Safari has a separate search field instead. The Settings icon opens an extensive menu that includes private browsing, pop-up blocking, Extensions, and customization buttons. One feature we really like is the Page icon that displays a menu just for the current page. The Bookmarks bar holds icons to show the Reading List, Top Sites, and All Bookmarks. Clicking Preferences under Settings opens a tabbed dialog with many more options, including Appearance, Tabs, Security, Privacy, Extensions, and RSS.

Safari has a good reputation, and we found it to be quick and stable. We
started with some news sites, moving through some of our imported IE Favorites
and finishing with some random searches. Unlike some of Apple's software,
Safari is more like the competition than unlike it, with tabbed browsing, a
customizable toolbar, and security and privacy options.
Some things are missing; for instance, Safari for Windows can import Favorites from Internet Explorer into its bookmarks, but apparently the same isn't true for Firefox or Chrome bookmarks. You can always export your Firefox or Chrome bookmarks to IE and then into Safari, but being able to import them directly would be a better option.

At any rate, if you've wondered about Safari, here's your chance to see it
for yourself.
With a simple, elegant interface, the Safari browser gets out of your way
and lets you enjoy the Web. Features include: fast performance; an elegant user
interface, easy bookmarks, pop-up Blocking, inline find, tabbed browsing,
SnapBack, automatic form filling, built-in RSS, resizable text fields, private
browsing, and security.
