Apple Safari 4 reviewed @ ITreviewed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

 

 

We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.

Thanks greatly!

 

 

 

"Safari is a great looking browser that does away with clutter. It's also

very quick at loading Web pages and running Javascripts, but the real gain

comes from a set of features that make it easier to monitor and access the

Web sites you visit habitually, both through simple keyword searches and a

visual timeline. Sadly, while the new browser delivers significant gains it

fails to offer a match for one of the most popular features from its

competitors - the extensions loved by Firefox users. Apple is keeping quiet

about Safari's security credentials, too, which makes us nervous. Crucial

features such as phishing protection are not clear and - unlike Opera -

there's no real-time fraud protection feature to tell you if a site is a

phishing site. Apart from that, official plug-in support is still missing.

Safari is a worthwhile download, but Apple's seemingly flippant attitude

towards security is a big worry - especially to Windows users. There's

nothing here to challenge Firefox, Chrome or even Opera."
