Re: Safari Beta For Windows
said by bbarrera  :said by dennismurphy :Now, if you wanna see a REALLY cool trick ... Reply to a message here at BBR; did you notice that you can resize the text box that I'm currently typing in? Check the bottom right corner of the text box ..... sweet! Safari 3 is blazing fast on both OSX and WinXP. I can't wait to get home and try it out on the Mac .... so far so good on Wintendo.
Can't wait to get the better fonts, too .... |

Hooray! Safari supports styles on form widgets now. It's like all the best things from the nightly webkit builds and more. |

Hmm, when I have my Safari (windows) on full screen, minimize to tray then click to go back to it, it's not maximized anymore. It reverts itself back into windowed mode. Anyone else? |

One issue. All of my text looks bubbly. Maybe that's a settings issue. |

Agreed. Although like the Webkit nightly build it seems to give me trouble when posting on this site. Seems to forget to submit what I've typed. Very fast on both platforms though. Love it!

Wonder how Windows and IE felt about me just selecting Safari as the new default browser... hehe

I've switched over to Safari for my default for now. Working very well and very fast. The new AT&T/Yahoo mail beta craps out (not surprising), but the older version is noticably faster than FF or IE.
Looks like it sucked in all of my FF previously vistited sites automatically--no bookmarks loaded, but all I have to do is start typing an address and it auto-completes. Sweet.
Noticed something interesting while posting this...if you right-click in posting window, you can change the writing direction (L to R, and R to L). I can't seem to select the other direction though.
So far a great beta, but of course time (and bug finds) will tell the tale. 
Edit: oh! and you can change the order of tabs easily by dragging and dropping. |

That I would imagine is the idea. Design something good for windows take away users from IE and Firefox and maybe convert them to Mac users |

said by BellBoy :Downloading now...two download options with QT and without. I'm getting the standalone now (8 megs). Will report back any issues.  Even though I love Firefox and use it nearly exclusively (I use IE for listening to Sirius online), I am looking forward to trying Safari out, once it's out of Beta.

If this thing catches on, it should be easier to get web-programmers to make stuff more standards compliant. |

A pet peeve that I uncovered...if you stop at a spot on the site, halfway down say, most browsers will snap back to that spot after a refresh. Safari is sending me back to the top of the page.
Anyone else getting that also?

I have one problem using Safari on my Windows laptop running Vista. My Logitech MX610 mouse back and forth buttons don't seem to work. They do with both IE7 and Firefox but not with Safari. |
