Apple Releases Beta Version of SVG-Enabled Safari 3 for Mac and Windows


Posted by ivar apropos SVG on the Web on Tue Jun 12th, 2007 at 13:01:57 BST

A public beta of Apple's Safari 3 browser has been released. SVG support has been included in the Safari nightly builds for some time, but this is the first version usable by non-geeks. In addition, Safari is now available on Windows making it a serious contender in the SVG implementation landscape.

Under MacOs the Safari is the best available browser, it´s so much faster than any other browser, but under windows it sucks... Hopefully the final version will be good...

Several people who have tried Safari under Windows tell me they love it  ??

Anyway, several years ago I would not have envisioned Adobe bowing out and Apple stepping up as a proponent of the standard :-)

There are some obvious security issues with Safari right now and I am curious as to how much market share it will gain.Safari on the iPhone will also support SVG I believe. Dave Davis

I'm running windows, and to me the font smoothing is too much. Smaller text becomes almost too chunky to read. On windows it crashes as soon as you try to type in your proxy password and you can't edit the proxy settings (the button is greyed out in preferences.) It seems to render pretty quickly, but I was testing at work and it seemed to lag on the initial request, like the Microsoft network protocol was stopping it and saying "What are you doing here?" : ) All told, I don't think I'll be switching away from firefox. Safari currently lacks the plugins I've come to depend on, and I just don't see anything that really makes it worth switching. Based on the text alone I don't see myself switching over to Safari as my default browser. I know it's still in beta but I see myself sticking by firefox. However, I'm very excited to see Apple opening up it's browser to windows users. One more browser I can test my sites on now.
