Apple Announces Safari 4

Apple recently announced the public beta of Safari 4, which is said to be world’s fastest web browser for the systems running on Mac and Windows. If you have already made up your mind, just after reading this first line, then here is the download link for you: And it’s free!

“Apple created Safari to bring innovation, speed and open standards back into web browsers, and today it takes another big step forward,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Safari 4 is the fastest and most efficient browser for Mac and Windows, with great integration of HTML 5 and CSS 3 web standards that enables the next generation of interactive web applications.”

Here are the specifications of Safari 4:

It is built on the world’s most advanced browser technologies.
Executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7.
More than three times faster than Firefox 3.
One more advantage of this Safari is that it loads HTML web pages three times faster than IE 7 and almost three times faster than Firefox 3.

Below is the list of the new added features in the browser:

Top Sites: With this new addition, users can easily jump to their favorite sites with a single click as it shows frequently visited sites.

Full History Search: It allows the users to easily return to sites they’ve seen before.

Cover Flow: Users can have easy access to bookmarked sites and can just flip through website previews in Cover Flow just like they do in album art in iTunes.

Tabs on Top: Tab management was never so much fun!

Smart Address Field: It automatically completes web addresses. At the same time it displays an easy-to-read list of suggestions. That means that you just have to start typing, and it will offer its suggestions!
