ratchet Posted June 26, 2007 CID Share Posted June 26, 2007 Somewhere this morning at 4:30 I ran upon a link proclaiming it as the fastest browser. Something to the effect of 2.1X faster than IE7 and I think 1.9X than Firefox at rendering pages. I might try it depending on the feedback here!

Siryak Posted June 26, 2007 CID Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have it. Nothing special. FF and Opera still blow it out of the water. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19276-has-anyone-tried-safari-for-windows/#findComment-227527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siryak Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 That is on the safari site.. It is faster starting up.. but as far as loading pages.. not so much. I agree it does start up faster. But that is about the only thing it does better than FF. It is slower, has an uglier UI, Uses about 2x as much memory, doesn't have a drop down address bar, not as many add-ons, no bottom bar, and I don't like the text.

dlewis23 Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 That is on the safari site.. It is faster starting up.. but as far as loading pages.. not so much. I have the opposite effect, its slower starting up, but faster browsing pages Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19276-has-anyone-tried-safari-for-windows/#findComment-227589 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltageman Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Worked fine for me...Hard to tell the difference in loading, with the fios, it doesn't matter what browser I use, they all load pretty much instantly. The only problem I have, is when I try to maximize the window on my second monitor..It goes half off screen...Haven't figured that one out yet..
