Apple's Safari browser has been known to speed quickly, and constantly new. Although many Safari browser for Apple Macintosh computer on their own (both tie-in sales), but there is also Safari version for Windows. In addition, it is also the default iPhone browser.
Last week, Apple launched the fourth version of Safari browser for Mac at the same time and Windows computer. Apple said it is the world's fastest browser, and add many graphics to make it easier to browse the web. Safari 4 is still in the testing phase, Windows and Mac versions are at apple.com / safari for free download.
I have been testing the new operating system both Safari browser, and with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google (Google), compared to the Chrome. My conclusion is that, Safari 4 speed really quickly than a lot of competitors, but its user interface changes are disappointed people. They are window dressing or a small change, either inherited the functions of our competitors have introduced, or just the browser is to allow the use of more inconvenient.
First of all, we talk about speed. Units at my Mac computer, as well as many run Vista and XP on the Windows computer to test the Safari 4, and the use of three different networks to conduct these tests in high-speed fiber-optic ─ ─ First, one general hotel Internet connection, speed is also relatively slower mobile data card.
All kinds of network connections in the above manner, I download Safari 4 for a number of commonly used time for the website a time, such as Facebook, "The Wall Street Journal," "The New York Times" (New York Times), the United States, such as Major League Baseball. I not only tested a single window to open the site separately and also test the use of keys simultaneously to open the case of multiple URLs.
The results are amazing. In almost every case, Safari 4 than any other browser much faster. Safari 4 lot of testing other browsers need only one-third or half of the time to download a web page or a group, even if they are on the same computer and Internet connection with a network running.
In particular, are of interest to me, Safari 4 in testing the Windows version of Google Chrome in the left behind, even if these two browsers are used by Apple's management, but the concession of a number of other companies give open-source technology.
In some cases, when a new version of Safari browser's speed advantage when only a few seconds, the Express probably did not look so important. However, when I opened the page a lot of time, Safari is very different indeed. For example, in my tests the fastest network, Safari 4 for Windows versions 21 to open a web site required 43 seconds, while the new version of IE 8 two minutes required to complete the same task.
I hope I can on Safari's more enthusiastic about a number of other changes, but I should not. The worst apple is to decide on behalf of the keys to open the page the browser to the top of the screen, and at all the tools on the menu, rather than where they are the traditional instrument and under the menu.
The changes are the result of copying Chrome, and Apple said that this could make keys more easily found. But this is not me. In my opinion, Apple's changes more difficult to cause the user to see the button, in a crowded computer screen is also very easy to use, but they represent the keys from the contents page is also too far. Vista operating system in particular, is a troublesome problem, because the title of Vista's transparent windows can be almost impossible to identify the key pages.
Another option is, unfortunately, to give up Safari 4 shows the progress of the download page the progress bar. Apple said that it is now because the page is complex, progress can not be accurately capture the download progress. However, I think users like to see the page download process, the stage of their own, even if it is only a rough estimate.
I am not the only people who have this feeling. Those who would normally be for Apple to defend the action every step of the Apple-oriented website has begun to release notes, the Safari 4 attack the user how to re-restore the old system and the keys have a progress bar.
New version of the graphics features will only further line. Now, when you open a new button, the web address without notes, Safari will be able to place the original blank fill the largest web site users to browse graphical presentation. Just click on any one of your Web site, you can directly access a specific page. It can even display the user since the last visit after a web page when changes have taken place.
This feature is pretty good, but Chrome is also a copy of the existing features, and I think most people will not too seriously on this point, because in general they have long known their wish to visit the page.
Apple will "cover flow", that is iTunes album browser vision methods, the use of the Safari bookmarks folder among management. Users can preview it in the list of bookmarks for each page. Similarly, this feature is indeed very good, but not much innovation.
Safari 4 to catch up with competitors also have other functions, when a user types a URL or a search time of entry, to give tips. This feature is also good, but not better than other browsers.
Finally, Safari's Windows version now seems, are up and running more like a standard Windows procedure, rather than Mac program. It added a traditional Windows-style buttons and behavior, which is not before the Safari.
Overall, Safari 4 has been mixed. Fast, but some changes in the design of some new, some are irritating.
