Yesterday, in a small footnote; Safari 5 was introduced to the Internet. So what kind of change are we to expect? Quite a bit, from what we gather.
Safari Reader is first. A way to view content on a page without the ads and frames. You can then print, email, zoom or whatever the article you want to read. Personally, I find that the Internet is too bogged down with advertising. Sure it’s an excellent medium, but sometimes enough is enough. This seems like a pretty great feature.
More HTML5 support. As a web developer, I really like this option. WebKit, CSS3 and HTML5 are still relatively new standards, but they become much more when they are utilized in mainstream websites.
Faster, Faster, FASTER!!! Improved Nitro Engine, 30% faster JAVA. And a new technique known as DNS Prefetching. It makes navigating from a page to another much faster as it looks up the address, before you even click the link.
These are just a few of the promising new features with Safari 5. I’ve always used Firefox, but for testing purposes, I think I’ll give Safari 5 another chance and see how much Apple has progressed in the browser community.
