The 0.0 and 0.1 builds were usable for me but still buggy (what with the bookmarks and such). This 0.3 build, however, seems really stable so far. Safari also started up faster than any of the two other browsers I use (Firefox and Opera).

I did some testing an Safari is actually the fastest

I timed how long it would take to open and load the MSN Homepage from the following browseres: Safari, Mozzila FF, Internet Explorer

1. Safari 00:00:04.508
2. I.E. 00:00:06.166
3. Moz.FF 00:00:07.531

My main beef with Safari is that it jacks with blogging. As in, when I submit or edit a post, I’m lucky if the text I entered actually goes through. More often than not, I click “save” and it shows me a blank entry.

That, and I’d really love to be able to hit “delete” and browse backwards.

Otherwise, I’m perfectly happy with it. I’ll probably be happier with later versions, though.

Well, I am among those who criticized the 0.0 e 0.1 for being unusable, due to missing text and simply too many errors in building the layout of webpages. The 0.2 release, I must admit, solved all of those problems. Still a bit unstable, occasionally crashes (the rest of my XP system can be rock solid for weeks), but i think they can work on this issues and solve them soon. Good Job Apple.

And the letters still look blurry. In pref you only can set the smoothing to Light… not off, as I would wish it.

Works almost perfectly now (only thing which still isn’t working is saving your preferences).

Oh, one more thing… any idea how to use safariblock on safari for windows?

If you search for this problem you will find lots of articles saying that I’m right. Safari doesn’t show right fonts Russian fonts in bold and very often show the error screen.

Moreover when it crashes even when you open apple website.

“It doesn�t work correctly with Russian pages.”

However, I am not Russian so it doesn’t bother me!
