Cormac mentions that Safari beta 3 is available for download on OSX and Windows XP!
I just grabbed a copy and have tried it out on a couple of sites. Its rendering engine is fast, but will it live up to the claims?
According to Apple it:
loads pages up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.6 times faster than Firefox 2.
It also ships with Bonjour, which is an Apple networking tool.
I’ll have to try it out at work for a couple of days to see how well it handles 15 or more tabs simultaneously. If it can render pages faster that’s one thing, but what’s its memory footprint going to be like?
The only way to really find out is to try it I guess
