I wonder if ppl get what 'public-beta' means...
daniel @ Jun 12th 2007 7:55AM
i never remember any of the firefox betas being as buggy as this

This is the first public beta of Safari on Windows, and it's a hell of a lot more ambitious than Firefox. Resizable text boxes, movable tabs that also drag off to form a new window dynamically. Built-in search with unprecedented ease of use, merge all windows, private browsing. Sure Firefox is a nice browser, but there is no arguing that Apple is attempting to push things forward here, and they are managing to keep the UI of the thing very minimal at the same time. I think it's a fine first beta for such a full featured web browser. People always go on about Firefoxe's plugins, but what they fail to realize is most computer users don't even know what plugins are. When all the kinks are ironed out, you'll see that Safari will be the browser for the rest of us.

Wow, it didn't take long for someone to defend Apple using the "it's just a beta" excuse. You same people were slamming the IE7 beta for their vulnerabilities, with the explanation "so what if it's an early pre-release build, doesn't Microsoft have standards?"

Safari crashed before I tried to use ANY of the features that you mentioned in your defence.But yeah those features are pretty good,but I like firefox...I dont feel the need to change...I suppose thats just personal preference.

@ McGinley, personal preference is a good thing, it makes the world go round.

This is from the Safari download page:
"Why You'll love Safari
...
12. Security
Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one."
Really?
