And we have another browser dreaming to make it big on Windows. But after trying Safari for about 30 minutes I uninstalled it. There was no new features to really talk about and the interface was completely crap. Yeah, I know that a lot of Apple fans would be baying for my blood, but the truth is that Safari does not stand a chance against Firefox or IE. Even Opera packs in quite a punch as compared to Apple’s Safari.

The biggest concern is the interface. Instead of changing to interface to look more like Internet Explorer or Firefox, Apple chose to go the iTunes way. Not that iTunes is bad, but if Apple wants to convert IE and Firefox users to Safari, then they have bet wrongly on the GUI. Exactly the same reason why there are more Windows desktops than Apple’s. In my opinion, its better to wait for the full version to release. Although if you are like me who want to try out the latest and the self-proclaimed greatest browser, then download it from here: http://www.apple.com/safari
