Safari Public Beta 3, now available for Windows!
Posted on Tuesday, June 12th, 2007 under blogging, browser news, designer tools by Dustin Brewer.Thats right, Safari is now available for Windows for all of you Safari lovers out there. I don’t know that I would neccesarily include myself in the Safari loving group but I definetely see it as a tool that will come in handy when ensuring that a web site is working in all browsers.
Now only if Konquerer would come out for windows, things would get interesting. At any rate the software runs great for me on Windows XP SP2 (Tested on 3 XP SP2 machines) I also tested it on a Media Center PC and it worked fine and tested it on a Windows Vista Ultimate computer and Safari worked fine also.
Apparently though I may be a rare case because there have been reports of it crashing constantly or having other weird issues. Roger from 456 Berea Street said that the software never even started up on his XP machine but worked great on OSX.
At any rate, Safari is now working on Windows so we have a new option in the browser war. Personally I will probably stay with Firefox, mostly for the extensions. I could deal with losing the memory issues with Firefox though
