Safari: Safari Beta
built 236 days ago
April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple today released Safari Beta 2, an updated beta version of the Safari browser that delivers highly requested features including tabbed browsing and AutoFill forms. Safari is now the browser of choice for millions of Mac users with more than two million downloads since its free public beta release on January 7, 2003. Safari is the fastest web browser ever created for the Mac, and re-energizes the browser category in general with innovations like built-in Google search; SnapBack to instantly return to search results; a completely new way to name, organize and present bookmarks; and automatic "pop-up" ad blocking.

At the 2007 Worldwide Developers Conference, Steve Jobs announced Safari 3 for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista. The beta version of Safari 3 now works with Google Docs and allows for rich formatting in Gmail, both of which were unavailable on earlier versions of Safari even though Safari has had rich formatting since version 1.3. Safari 3 extends on this as well as making it more stable. The Safari beta version for Windows had several known bugs[10] and a zero day exploit that allows remote execution, upon its initial beta release on June 11, 2007, in version 3.0.[11] The addressed bugs were then corrected by Apple three days later on June 14, 2007, in version 3.0.1 on Windows. On June 22, 2007, Apple released Safari 3.0.2 to address some bugs, performance issues and other security issues. Safari 3.0.2 for Windows handles some fonts that are missing in the browser but already installed on your computer, such as Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, and others.

You can update the Safari beta to 1.0 using Mac OS X's Software Update to automatically update. (The beta versions did not have built-in auto-updating.) If you don't already have Safari, it's a 6.2MB download. A drive image automatically mounts on the desktop and launches the Installer program. When you first open the browser, it automatically imports your IE favorites and some settings, including the home page, but Safari ... sets itself as your default browser without asking. How rude!
