Safari For Windows

Recommended Posts

I'll keep to Firefox.

 

The style looks ugly with Vista (whereas Firefox looks better with Vista than IE7) - which is one of the reasons I don't use iTunes.

 

I can't seem to remove the bookmark toolbar, either.

 

And there's some odd spider button, too.

 

Try shift-control-b. It's shift-command-b on OS X.

actually i posted that so people who switched to firefox because of that could come back if they liked safari more

 

the "weird spider button" is for reporting a but (as it is a beta version :geek: )

I supposedly loads web pages faster than Firefox but it's not always about a those 3 seconds. I like Firefox as it is I don't need to switch.

I downloaded and installed this as I like Apple software - but it can't connect to the internet??

 

Dunno what's wrong! Firefox and IE connect without any trouble whatsoever!

Safari is meant to load the pages faster but not load up itself faster, damn gotta read the fine print on this stuff. Since macs have the app running prety much anytime the computers on it'll be great for macs, but not soo good at first for windows users, suppose we better wait for the final release.

Alright, alright, just posting news about the God damn thread. Jesus, isn't that what a thread is about?

 

Retard!

 

EDIT: I am kidding, don't worry.

 

Double EDIT: God the lack of respect on these forums...

i don't find that funny (its a real spell checker)

 

Thats because Mac users have no sense of humour. Why else would people buy off the strength of the Mitchell and Webb adds instead of laughing and carrying on with their lives?

 

its a BETA there are bugs in betas

 

As above

I don't get it.

It's unstable (yes, it's a beta, but this is the most unstable beta software i've seen forever)

There's tons of bugs, see above

It's Ugly, holy shit is it that hard to read the windows gui handbook?

There's no demand. IE, Firefox and Opera cover EVERY base

If it's like apple's other windows software, it will be bulky and shit.

 

Whatever, the only way you're going to seperate me from firefox is to give me... there is no way, I'm 100% happy with firefox.

See, that's strange because both David Mitchell (UK PC) and John Hodgman (USA PC), both comedians, use Macs.

Denial.

 

More annoyances: I can't middleclick tabs to close them?

When I type things in it sometimes deletes what i've written

this predictable URL things is quite obnoxious

memory use is just the same as firefox

UGH It just does NOT fit in, whose idea was it to keep osx themes and buttons in windows, it looks hideous

It is safari on windows, thought your version appears to be a lot crapper than everyone else's. Either way it's just a beta. The UI is coherent with iTunes and with what you'll get on iPhone basically, and maybe that's the point. People will know how to use safari (which is the simplest and most elegant browser imo) and will be able to sync their bookmarks across to their phones.

 

Mr sanchez, i think your very very used to firefox so stick with it and be happy. The beta definitely works pretty much perfectly on a mac, and i guess apple now only really have to update the UI for Leopard and sort out the windows bugs for the final release, probably in october alongside Leopard and OS Xs coherent plastic look.

Will safari allow customization (extensions and skins) alaa Firefox and to some extent IE7?

Haha, he makes a good point.

 

However, David Mitchell's own work (the Mitchell and Webb look) was awful.

as you can see from the image below, but will also asume the feeling will go once i get used to it

Bullshit. He's talking about Safari on Mac OS X, which I'm using and is working perfectly.

If they added some Aero to it I think it would look better.

I agree, I don't understand why they would put a Mac OS X design into Vista.
