About Safari
In January 2003, Steve Jobs announced that Apple was developing its own browser: Safari.
Before this, the Mac system used Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer as its default browser.
The first official ("out-of-beta") version of Safari was released in June 2003. In April 2005, Safari became the default browser of the Mac system.
Like many of Apple's products, Safari is known for its ease of use and clean design. Safari supports Mac and Windows systems.
Safari 5
Safari 5 was released on June 7, 2010.
New features in Safari 5:
Safari Reader
Present articles through a new scrollable interface, excluding redundant content and chaotic information, making it easier to read whether it is a single-page or multi-page article. When Safari 5 detects an article, users can click the reader icon in the smart address bar to display the entire article, obtaining a clear, continuous reading interface, and can zoom in, print, or send it via email.
Excellent HTML5 support
Newly added more than ten powerful HTML5 features, such as full-screen playback of HTML5 video and support for hidden subtitles, allowing web developers to create rich media experiences. Other new HTML5 features in Safari 5 include HTML5 location markers, HTML5 page split elements, HTML5 drag-and-drop attributes, HTML5 form validation, HTML5 Ruby, HTML5 AJAX history, EventSource, and WebSocket, etc.
Better performance
The Safari 5 for Mac is powered by the Nitro JavaScript engine, which executes JavaScript 30% faster than Safari 4. Safari 5 utilizes DNS pre-fetching functionality to improve the speed of loading new web pages, while also improving the history page cache to make the response faster when returning to these pages.
Built-in Bing search
You can choose Google, Yahoo!, or Bing as the search service for the Safari search bar.
Safari Developer Program
The new free Safari Developer Program allows developers to use extension tools based on standard web technologies (such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript) to customize and enhance Safari 5. The extension creator added in Safari 5 simplifies the development, installation, and packaging of extension tools. To enhance security and stability, Safari's extension tools run in a sandbox, are signed with Apple's digital certificates, and run only in the browser.
Note:Safari 5 is suitable for Mac and Windows systems.
