Loaded it and removed it almost as fast.:eek: No Thanks! It was way to slow. I'll stick with Internet Exploiter for now. I'll wait to try it again when it's no logner a Beta version.:D

It was also broken (http://erratasec.blogspot.com/2007/06/niiiice.html) on the first day :D
Safari browses the web VERY well. It just doesn't do anything else. It's pretty good for your average computer user. Still like my Firefox + extensions on Windoze, and Camino on my Mac.

No more broken then OSX:D
Did I say beta;) A lot of sites you can not use it on since it is not recognized. I would not do any banking with it thats for sure, but I would not do it with any apple OS;)
It is fast though on most sites.

One question, what does Beta mean?

Just curious why you say that? I'm a Mac user and do access my accounts from it.

Beta is usually the first version released outside of a company/group that develops the software, for the purpose of real-world testing.

I was about ready to ask the same question :confused: I use my Mac to access all sorts of secure sites, and have never had a problem. Last time I checked there was far more holes/DoS issues against Windows :idea:

Beta is computer for "you're the ginuea pig." :D
It's very fast, but not nearly as robust as Firefox w/ extensions.
Oink:D
Just do all the security updates for OSX and you will be fine.;)

What the hell does that mean. I've had OSX for a few years now and never had a problem. I'm on a Mac for a living. It's bullet proof. I just think it's some of the Windows users being jealous.

Thats why its referred to as "WinBlows"! :D :D
Years ago I had issues with Safari on secure websites (banks and such) but I don't anymore. I'm sure updates have cured that.

Any problems I ever had with Safari and online transactions was the fault of the other end. I have found way too many web techs were just too IE brainwashed to deal with anything else. It is the Henry Ford syndrum. You can have any browser, as long as it is IE.
