Safari offers you a superior Web experience with outstanding performance. Even the most complex of pages load at breakneck speed. In fact, it loads pages more quickly than any other Mac Web browser. But that?s not all. Safari uses the advanced interface technologies underlying MacOSX to offer you an all-new view of the Web, one that?s much easier to use.
Blazing performance.
The fastest web browser on any platform, Safari loads pages up to 1.9 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2.
Elegant user interface.
Safari’s clean, sleek look lets you focus on the web instead of your browser. The browser frame is a mere one pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when you need one. You see no status bar by default — a blue progress bar fills the address field as the page loads — giving you more room to browse and view the web.
And with commonly used tools like a Google search field built right into Safari, you can get anywhere on the web faster.
Security.
Now you can enjoy worry-free web browsing on any computer. Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.
For starters, Safari uses robust encryption to ensure that your private information stays that way. When you browse a secure site, Safari displays a lock icon in the upper-right corner of the browser. If you want to know more about the credentials of a secure site, click the lock icon and Safari displays detailed information about the site’s security certificate.
Safari supports SSL versions 2 and 3, as well as Transport Layer Security (TLS), the next generation of Internet security. Safari uses these technologies to provide a secure, encrypted channel that protects all your information from online eavesdroppers. And Safari lets you use standards-based authentication such as Kerberos single sign-on and X.509 personal certificates, or proprietary protocols like NTLMv2 to log in to secure sites.
Safari also supports a variety of proxy protocols — services that help firewalls control what flows in and out of the network — including Automatic Proxy configuration, FTP Proxy, Web Proxy (HTTP), Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS), Streaming Proxy (RTSP), SOCKS Proxy, and Gopher Proxy.
Pop-up blocking.
Say goodbye to annoying pop-up ads and pop-under windows that clutter up your desktop and distract you from your browsing.
By default, Safari blocks all unprompted new windows. You can open new windows when you click links, but you’ll get no surprises from unexpected, unwanted pop-ups.
Graphics and fonts.
Apple brings the same amazing graphics technology to Safari that's used in Mac OS X to ensure great color in everything from iPhoto to Final Cut Pro. Safari is the only browser that employs advanced color management to deliver web images with the most accurate color possible.
And Safari makes text beautiful and easy to read on all displays thanks to Apple's sophisticated font-rendering technology. Safari smoothes fonts so that they're easy on the eyes but also remain as faithful as possible
to the chosen font. As a result, your favorite websites look the way they were meant to be seen.
With CSS3 web fonts in Safari 3.1, web designers can go beyond web-safe fonts and use any font they want to create stunning new websites using standards-based technology. Safari Graphics and Fonts.automatically
recognizes websites that use custom fonts and downloads them as they’re needed.
