PCW goes on Safari
Our story today about all the vulnerabilities that have been found in Apple's new Safari browser may seem a little unfair, considering that this is beta code in which one would expect to find bugs. In fact the whole point of beta testing is to find them. But if you shoot your mouth off as much as Apple chief Steve Jobs does, you must expect to get some flak back - and he did say the browser would be secure from Day One.
I've been using Safari intermittently for a day and quite like it. It has a clean design and crisp response and seems to run some of our company's web-based apps rather better than Explorer. Cliff Joseph will be posting a full review soon. But it has to be said the Apple, for all its self-proclaimed user friendliness, is not above giving its users cryptic messages. The one above left appears occasionally when you click the Back button. Its reference to a "form" may mean something to Apple's coders, but in the context of what I was doing it means nothing to me.



I have to agree the pop up youshow is a pain in the neck it forever pops up on a lot of sites I use. If you want to resnd to refresh it pops up so annoying. Also Sagfari is not as fast as they say I have found so far that IE7 and Firefox are faster. But early days. It also crashes a lot at the moment. The bookmarks are really strange I do not know why it has to open a whole screen of bookmarks instead of just down the left hand side. Thi is infuriating and makes no sense what so ever. I think Apple have a lot to do before people warm to ythere browser
