Apple Safari 4 reviewed @ ITreviewed - 02/25/09 08:49 PM
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."
