Safari browser coming to Windows
Published June 11th, 2007 2:52 PM EDT By Daniel GoldmanMoments ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the WWDC 2007 event that the Safari web browser is coming to Windows.
Safari, which currently only runs on Apple computers, has a market share of about 5%. Jobs mentioned Apple’s expertise in making Windows software with iTunes, which, he said, should help in porting Safari to the Windows OS too.
According to Apple figures, the Windows Safari browser is twice as fast as Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and 1.6 times faster than Firefox. I wonder how it compares to Opera, which most consider as one of the fastest browsers around.
A free beta of Safari for Windows will be available at apple.com/safari.
I have yet to test Safari on Windows; I am most curious about its speed and memory usage, specifically how it compares to the Opera browser. Also, how accurate is their comparison to IE7 and Firefox? We will most likely see other (real) comparison once the browser is publicly released.
Making Safari available on Windows will have a positive effect for Safari users on the Mac, since it will make it easier for web developers to test their sites in Safari (without the need for a Mac). It’s a logical step for the company. In addition, it also creates a sneaky way for Apple to bite into the Windows market share.
What effect will Safari have on Opera and Firefox users?
Update: Apple now posted on their site some statistics that also show how it compares to Opera 9. I’ll have more on that later.

Huh? Opera slower on HTML and faster at launch? Weird.
using
it is funy, i want open a bootmarks and safari crash
using
Cool! I’m so excited ;))
I love the UI of Safari.
Websites can be tested in Swift browser(on windows), that also uses Safari’s rendering engine, WebKit .
using
Ah, great news to see Safari on Windows! I’ll finally be able to test websites with its rendering engine.
About statistics, it’s very disturbing. Did Opera lie for years? Is Opera worse than IE when it comes to rendering HTML?
using
I wonder how many days/months it will take for Safari Windows to exceed Opera’s marketshare?
using
Not bad to demonstrate to IE users that there is a bunch of alternatives.
using
Wow, this website renders beautiful in Safari for Windows
At least Safari doesn’t crash.
using
Believe me, Safari’s rendering engine is waaay to faster than Opera’s current one.
using
Having another competitor is a good thing if Safari is part of the web standards minded team. Web developers’ awareness of alternatives to IE will only increase and thus the need to stick to standards and test in different browsers.

The text seems blurry, even when font smoothing is set to light… and my TrackPoint scroll doesn’t work.
using
The text seems blurry
I think that is supposed to be a feature.
using
After trying it, I really like the font smoothing, it looks like your reading a book!
But I encounter a really strange bug: it doesn’t render bold and italic character… I’m writing a bug report.
using
I haven’t had a chance to download and install Safari yet. How is the speed compared to Opera?
using
Apple’s benchmarks have to be taken with a grain of salt, but at least on OS X Safari *is* faster than Mac Opera (but I blame it on poor quality of Mac port in general…)
using
@Daniel: Well, the first problem is that many websites are rendered broken in Safari. So you have to find one that renders good in Safari and Opera. And I think Opera is still faster than Safari in loading and rendering a web page. Mind you, the UI is *way* more sluggish than Opera’s.
using
I have to admit I am impressed with Safari’s speed so far. The first thing I noticed that annoyed me, though, was a lack of basic options like being able to turn off hyperlink underlining. I realize it’s a beta, but underlining just seems to take up so much space on the page. I also can’t find any advanced Javascript options. And ctrl+tab doesn’t seem to cycle tabs, which is pretty major since the only way to change tabs seems to be by clicking the tab itself.
But the biggest thing by far is the lack of mouse gestures!

Oh noes! some one spilled Apple goo on my pc. I feel dirty. I wonder if they have imporoved the ton of dom and javascript quirks. What was the html test testing? Just rendering a webpage?
using
kL: From Apple Safari website:
These speeds was measured under Windows.
I can trust that Safari is faster than Opera under Mac OS, but under Windows? Opera slower than IE?
(Daniel, it’s because of your recent post about Steve Jobs and Apple TV, he’s taking his revenge…)
using
I wonder how accurate the speed comparison claims to Firefox and IE is, when Firefox, in some tests, has been rated as a slower browser than IE, and yet appears to be faster according to Apple’s figures.
using
The difference shown in the benchmarks results must be platform related because Konqueror is by no means faster than Opera on Unix. Firefox is more or less just as fast as Konqueror too.
So either the OSX port of Opera sucks big time or the Safari engine is different from the one used by Konqueror…
using
Speed comparison (but not including the new safari). Opera wins outright.

If you wer Apple, would you admit you were slower, or fiddle the results??

It’s very blurry no matter what setting I use and the scrolling is horrible, I also can’t get all links including bookmarks to open in tabs.

Oh My God.

Hm, something got wrong with my last post… it should read:
Wow, I guess that’s Opera Mini “Dimension”, right?
And why are all my posts “awaiting moderation”?

Let’s hope, it will be better, than Quicktime for Windows…

I’m using Vista, not XP, anyway. At least the Opera version is correct…:)
using
It doesnt install as non admin so I can’t even test it (Extracted files from the exe and tricked it to use local vc run time, but it crashes on startup) Why would a browser need admin rights anyway?
using
how is this browser twice as fast?
seems slower to me personaly.
also, no extra mouse button support or smooth scroling.
using
two more points:
the browser is ugly, just noticed how bad it looks when i opened up a new tab. can you skin this browser?
on a positve, i like what they have done with hannderling rss feeds. lets you filter and change the way they are presented to you.
using
Safari uses KHTML, which is faster than anything else on HTML rendering. However I do not think Safari’s implenetation is that much faster than Opera.
I guess Google really must pay for their search field in Safari! If Apple can afford to port Safari (though it’s core component is being ported to Windows by the open source community) and earn money on paid search results it really must pay off!
using
Why would speed matter on today’s computers.
I’m so glad Opera has dropped that “The fastest browser on Earth” slogan, ’cause boy no one cares.
What makes Opera outstanding is it’s feature richness and fantastic UI to access and use those feature.
When you use any other browser, the first thing you notice is that you can’t do anything with it, it’s so dumb. And the last thing you notice is its speed.
Safari, Firefox, IE - they all look like the same, except for Firefox’ nice extensions system which let’s you spend a couple of years adding something to the browser, in a rather inconsistent way, - that already is there built-in to Opera
However I think that ability to resize any text field on any website is something Opera should steal from Safari.
using
I’m not impressed.. Crash every time I click on bookmarks or try to write something in a text field.. lol
And what’s up with the “not showing text” thing?? On most sites I have checked I cannot see a lot of the text, it seems only small font size is visible…
I would never call this a beta, this is alpha…
In apples defense I use vista, maybe that version is worse.
And as a webdeveloper I welcome Safari, as long as they stick to standards. And i’ll think they do, at least it passed the acid 2 test.
using
The download is about 6x that of Opera! IIRC, it’s bigger than IE7.
I’ll give it a try, but from the comments above it’s a bit crude in some respects.

Ilya Birman:
1-If no-one cares about speed, why is it listed as the number 1 feature of Safari? Apparently people DO care even though no-one could see the difference between rendering in 1 or in 1.2 seconds…
2-I for one do not mind Opera being slower than Safari…but slower than flipping Internet Explorer? That, I cannot stand nor believe.

Installed but crashes all the time when trying to run it …

@BAMAToNE:
Safari has never been about configurability or feature set. It’s always been about having something basic, clean, and easy to figure out that “just works,” and works fast. I don’t remember whether those specific options are in Safari 2 (I don’t have access to a Mac at work), but it may be that they decided to simplify the interface further.
I always figured anyone who wants an advanced browser on Mac will install Opera, Camino, or Firefox.
I’ve posted some initial thoughts on the release over at my main blog, and I’ll probably be posting some Opera-specific reactions soon over at My Opera soon.
using
Seems to run on Windows 2000 too.
From the few initial tests I did in the past 10 minutes I can only say that I am VERY impressed with the speed at which Safari on Windows starts, renders pages and executes scripts.
Today is a truly exciting day for the web development community. Or at least for me!
using
Well, this certainly is a development. I’m speechless really……….
using
@Giraffe: what download are you looking at? I just looked up my IE7 installer, and it’s 15 MB. The Safari installer is only 8 MB, closer to twice the size of the English-only Opera 9.21 installer. (This is on Windows XP — I expect the Mac versions are double, since they’ll be universal binaries with both PPC and Intel code)
The annoying thing is that it’s really hard not to install iTunes. I don’t need it on my PC at work, but the software updater — which, annoyingly, seems to be the only way to get security updates for Quicktime — keeps pushing iTunes at me.
On a completely different note, I just discovered that all text areas are automatically resizable. Now *that* is seriously useful!
using
Crashes on startup every time.
The Swift browser actually works.
http://try.swift.ws/
using
Okay, now I’m not speechless. I’m actually angry about the reasoning behind all of Apple’s releases that involve Safari. It looks like they’ve been reading all of Opera’s plans for the mobile market and now want to take them off as their own. Apple is instantly becoming one of my worst “enemies”….but they do everything so well. Gah!
using
This is the third time I’ve typed this… beta indeed!! From memory:
++ smooth fonts: crisp on LCD, too.
++ resizable texarea
++ acid2. renders badly the search button on yahoo.com, though
+ 3rd party cookies off by default
+ default browser select
+ input type=”file”
– no ctrl+t/ctrl+tab (double/middle click), no mouse gestures: seems I’m stuck switching between mouse and keyboard
- limited keyboard in textareas: no ctrl+backspace
– features the IE/FX TAB nightmare, and the zoom text only
- check spelling doesn’t work for me
– no search engines/bookmarks shortcuts
- preferences>stylesheet: doesn’t work
- no thumbnail on mouse hover: filed a bug report
+- activity, snapback, tab manager, downloads, view source, print preview: not impressed
- no inline find: sometimes the highlights is orange on orange
+- speed: on some pages with few inline items, it seems super fast; I WANT THE BENCHMARKS!
+- google reader looks and feels awesome but crashed it
– no crash recovery
using
Of course, forgot something:
- Old RSS icon: the official one is free, AFAIK
using
Why Apple insists SO MUCH to install their crappy Quicktime together each program that release for Windows????
:angry: :angry:
using
It takes extra time to load a page when there are cutting-edge AJAX, CSS3, and other new web standards being implemented, so it’s not exactly fair to call Safari faster unless if it takes on every standards challenge Opera has and still performs as fast.
I also noticed that Safari only included results that it was supposedly fastest in. Opera wins hands down for Bookmark and History speed, etc.
Safari remains relatively featureless, like Firefox, without keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, a heavily customizable interface, etc.
I also noticed the download is 8 MB. Nowadays, no one really cares, but it still shows how well the Opera guys manage to write their browser concisely.
I wonder if Apple left the navigator.userAgent string identifying as Mac OS X to try to increase web statistics of operating system usage. Either that, or the browser and OS identification plugin for Wordpress assumes all Safari browsers run on Mac OS X.
The resizable textarea is a neat idea. Opera should implement that (along with input fields).

Since I only got to test one feature, would anyone mind taking a few browsers out for a spin or two? And maybe even post your specs?

As promised, I’ve posted my thoughts on Safari/Windows’ likely effects on Opera.
@Dante: I’m able to use Ctrl+T to open a new tab here, and middle-click to open a link in a background tab. (WinXP). Still not sure how to get it to switch tabs using the keyboard.
using
This is really interesting. I don’t see this as too much a negative, except that it is unneeded competition for Opera. I was wondering when this was going to happen.
I think that it is a good thing because now, I no longer need to obtain temporary access to a mac in order to test my sites in Safari.
using
@Ice Ardor:
It’s the latter. The full UA string, at least on WinXP, is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en) AppleWebKit/522.11.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Safari/522.11.3So Safari reports the OS correctly, but the detector is making a no-longer-true assumption.using
Most of the comments I have in mind have already been mentioned, so I’ll forget about those for now..
-Backspace does not even go back to previous pages! Now that’s ridiculous, lol.
-Maximized in my second screen (dual display) causes Safari to disappear completely, but remains in task bar until I “Close” the application.
-Freezes from time to time.
-Lacks too many features to even begin to compare to any other browser..I mean IE6 has more features than Safari..granted that IE6’s rendering is terrible, lol. But simple things that should just be there already are missing.
-Middle click on tabs doesn’t close tabs..this is practically a standard these days.
Honestly..the only reason that I will ever open Safari again is to test compatibility with sites I’m working on or to test css3 until Kestrel is released…or if they have a major update from Beta 3.
I predict that many people will start using Safari on windows simply because of the Mac style UI..even though you can easily skin practically any browser to look exactly like Safari, lol. Those are the people that Apple is mainly targeting with Safari for Windows. But in the end it just benefits everyone since WebKit also has a strong stance toward web standards..which will improve the web even more since web designers will be testing on Safari more often. So..hooray to another browser on Windows..I suppose.
@kilefr
I agree. I hate Quicktime and wish they would stop trying to force us to install it with every single Apple related download.
using
I think this is a rather nice development. Obviously it will mean extra compettion for Opera on the Windows side, but it will also mean that the web will evolve to be less dependent on Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Geko rendering engines.
using
It seems like Mac is just trying to cash in on the iPod wave. And seriously, I can’t seem to find anything in Safari that isn’t already available in Opera and Firefox.
People have kind of come to expect more from their browsers in terms of features. And it’s likely Safari will crash far more often than even IE since it’s never really been used on any windows system.
They tried on one computer - but what about the older computers and alternate configurations. I’d really like to see some more conclusive testing done when it comes to speed and usability. I’m finding the marketing a bit hard to swallow.

Opera slower then IE? They must have switched the meaning of the words fast and Slow then, their browser is the slowest I had until now. It crashes every so often, ugly, no update in help menu, doesn’t show all text that should be shown (really some text is just not shown. The text is shown in the source, but not on the page itself) and there is a lot more but don’t want to keep typing for much longer.

maybe sj didn’t mention opera on purpose? maybe they did measuring and realised that opera is faster.
and you know often statistics are used with leaving out information that don’t look good and show only the good ones
using
It’s not about a new set of features. It’s about a new choice. It’s also about not being tied to Microsoft and Mozilla technology. It gives those not willing to use Opera an alternative to the bad software that’s been dished out by Microsoft and Netscape/Mozilla for over a decade…
Granted I don’t believe that anyone needs an alternative to Opera, but not everyone agrees with me. It’s nice to see Apple come to the rescue of those poor souls who are suffering at the hand of Microsoft and Mozilla. With luck KDE will have Konqueror ported to Windows as well by the end of the year, and then we will have the original KHTML browser on Windows (which will be several times better than Safari).
using
There are certain atypical circumstances under which Opera’s HTML rendering can be shown to underperform. A page that has hundreds of checkboxes in complicated tables lags on Opera compared to other browsers. For example, DeviantArt’s Manage Friends page slows down significantly once you have sixty or more friends.
This is the way with all optimizations — they assume something to increase performance at the expense of performance loss when the assumption does not hold.
In other words, there are ways to rig an HTML rendering test so that Opera can be shown to lose to Safari even though it wins in 95% of real world scenarios.
using
I feel that Opera is faster than Konqueror in general on Linux and BSD. Safari’s rendering engine is based on Konqueror’s (KHTML), thus I can’t see that Safari will be faster. Not to mention that Opera seems more optimized for the Windows platform than FFX, leaving me wondering how well does Safari really work on Win?
using
I am using Safari for Windows right now, and I have to say I am impressed. There are a couple of bugs, but it is a Beta so what do you expect?
If they sort out the final version properly, it could be Opera + Safari for everyday browsing for me from now on
using
I just noticed that in safari when I click on ‘Help’ -> ‘installed plugins’. Safari says: ‘Safari is missing important resources and should be reinstalled.
Anyone else having that ‘issue’?
using
I gave up on Safari for Mac. The more tabs you open the slower the whole computer becomes and as someone who typically has 10 or more tabs open at any one time it was becoming annoying. Opera never has this problem.
Intreged about Safari for Windows I downloaded it and gave it a go. Fast? I am perplexed! I am an IT Manager and know my way around the guts of Windows quite well but no way is this fast. Opera rendered this page in a fraction of the speed of Safari.
using
I can believe that Safari can render HTML+CSS slightly faster than current Opera, but with that silly test results about IE and Firefox, many people will doubt it.
As for Safari 3 beta for Windows — for me it looks like it still in Alpha or TP (technical preview) phase.
BTW, this new initiative is good for all web developer community.

I guess after 9.5 will be released, Opera should test every browser again, re-design home-page so we could see those results and laugh from other browser users

Opera for Wii already better, and the upcoming Opera 9.5 will at least match Wii browser.
Personally I expect zero buggy selectors from Opera 9.5.
using
Another example: I’ve found that, especially on Linux, my del.icio.us bookmarks can bring Opera to its knees. It’s odd, since Opera can handle more complicated pages much faster, but something in that layout freaks it out.
On the subject of the CSS3 selector test, anyone who has access to KDE should check it out with Konqueror. Konqueror 3.5.6 passes the entire test. I’m hoping that KHTML and WebKit will eventually merge back together, because right now, each engine has potentially useful CSS3 capabilities that the other doesn’t.

I’m not finding Safari’s download speed to be faster than Opera. I started a download of Firefox (only bloated and large file that I could think of) than about 5 seconds later started it in Opera. Safari was up to 350 KB/s then dropped down to 200 KB/s about 20 seconds in. Opera stayed at 350 KB/s the entire time and finished its download 10 seconds before Safari.
using
I can’t even seem to run Safari, it just constantly crashes - so I don’t even get to try it out
In terms of speed - I wouldn’t be too surprised if safari is faster than opera in os x but I would be if it is in windows. And like someone else said u shouldn’t take the stats on apple’s page too seriously. I mean for one it’s apple. But also there are no real details of what the tests constituted or how many repetitions, etc.
As for the ability to resize text fields in safari, I think this should be possible to do currently in Opera with a userjs seeing you can adjust the text field by editing the source.

Is this stat as reliable as those that Apple presented when the Macs were PowerPC powered?; you know, those that said that PowersPCs beat the **** out of Intel processors and then all of a sudden, when they moved to Intel, Intel powered Macs beat everyone else (including PowerPCs, of course).
Since the dawn of man Apple stats have been just a bunch of PR shite that are conveniently altered when needed and by the looks of it, this particular stat is no different (KHTML 2 times faster than FF and 3 times faster than Opera?, come on stevie…).

CSS 3 support is pretty amazing in Safari though :O
But Safari isn’t any good for advanded computer users. It’s perfect for Sundaysurfers (nice word) or Grandmas, so it might indeed take a lot of % of Browser usage, though IE 7 has quite OK UI now also.
Opera still rules the house, specially if Kestrel comes and new CSS stuff will be added.

Just more ******** from crApple. They lie about everything.
Look up the facts and you actually see that Steve Jobs talks utter ****.
For example, Apple tells you OS X is secure. It isn’t. There are plenty of articles around that discuss the myriad security problems in OS X - you just need to look. In fact, OS X, percentage-wise, has far more serious security bugs than Linux or Windows XP. That’s a fact, look it up.
And Apple tells you OS X is fast. Meanwhile, independent parties load Linux on the same hardware and find it to be much faster. They load Windows on the same hardware and find it much faster. That’s why there are more Linux servers and Windows servers around than Apple servers.
Most advanced OS in the world, complete poppycock.
Apple tells you a lot of things. Don’t believe a word of it.
