Safari: What's the big deal??!!

(1/13) > >>

I just downloaded Safari and I'm not impressed at all. It reminds me a lot of IE.

Good things about it:
1. Cool aqua icon
2. Bar thingy fills up as the page loads
3. Seems pretty fast
4. Matches well with iTunes

Bad things about it:
1. No tabbed browsing
2. Can't see the page as I'm scrolling with it and it will stick and go down sometimes when I'm scrolling with the wheel
3. Loads like IE, with one image at a time instead of loading everything and then showing the page
4. Everything on the window blinks when I take it out of the dock

This is only the beta, maybe it will improve. Does anyone know what the big stinkin deal is about Safari??

safari is fast. and its only at like .62 beta. the .7 beta has tabbed browsing i hear. but i couldnt find it.
i really like safari. its clean, easy, fast. plus the snap back feature is cool. so are the new bookmarking features. plus with coca gestures installed, i have mouse gestures like opera. dope.

Ummm.. the speed is insane... I don't know about you, but this is the fastest browser I have ever used. My scroll wheel dosn't act funny like yours...

I agree, some fetures are missing, but their comming. Including tabed browsing.

But safari is incredible.

Currently Camino is my fav. browser over all, but I use Safari more just because of the speed.

rtgwbmsr:
I agree with Psyjax, and every version since v62 has tabbed browsing. You just need to know how to turn it on...I did, but I forgot. Google it.

billy_gates:
Safari is the second fastest, second only to IE on my PC running Windows (I know, its IE, I can truthfully say IE is the fastest browser I have ever used, mozilla is catching up though).  I have had that scrolling problem.  I never really used tabs before to a large extent, when they are in safari I am sure that I will.  I like the way it loads, then if a server is slow I can click to the next page without having to wait, and it is a god send to those poor dialupers.  I do not know what you just attempted to say in #4.
