Apple's Safari browser is the original Webkit-based browser for the Windows operating system. The Windows version seems rather obsolete and hasn't received an update in quite some time.

In terms of features, users of OS X should feel at home with this Windows release but users of other browsers like Firefox or Google Chrome might feel a little lost mainly because it's obvious this web browser was designed for Apple's own operating system. Unfortunately, many of the newer features available in the Mac version of Safari seem to be missing in this release.

With that said, the program is fully customizable and provides access to a number of settings which can be geared towards your own liking. You can change the appearance (default fonts and font smoothing), bookmark preferences, tabs, RSS feeds, autofill, security parameters and more.

Safari, free and safe download. Safari latest version: Simple and sleek. Safari is a web browser that is known for its simplistic and minimalistic int. Rendering web pages in Safari Mobile that rely on the ability to scroll individual frames is a problem because there are no scroll bars on the iPhone. This applies to editing content in a fixed width/height textbox for large pages because there is no easy way to access the information that falls outside the displayed textbox area due to the.

The application includes an interesting feature called 'Reading List' which can sync your saved web pages across all of your devices running a version of Safari -- whether it be an iPhone, iPad or another system running OS X. This can be useful for reading a web page on a portable device, even if it doesn't have a web connection at a later point.

Though Safari has been optimized for speed and Apple's own tests show it to out-perform Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the reality is that the browser itself isn't really faster than other browsers on a Windows system. It does not feature hardware acceleration, not can it take advantage of 64-bit architecture.

In conclusion: There are a number of faster and less-cluttered browsers out there and Safari for Windows is really only useful for diehard fans of Apple products. We'd suggest looking at Firefox or a Chromium variant instead of bogging your system down with Safari.

iPhone issues[edit]

Framesets and Textboxes^[1][edit]

Rendering web pages in Safari Mobile that rely on the ability to scroll individual frames is a problem because there are no scroll bars on the iPhone. This applies to editing content in a fixed width/height textbox for large pages because there is no easy way to access the information that falls outside the displayed textbox area due to the lack of scrollbars.

iPhone users can use two-finger scrolling to scroll regions that would have scrollbars, but unfortunately, due to the lack of scrollbars, there is no visual indication that the area has more to see.

Popup Windows[edit]

By default, Safari on iPhone blocks pop-up windows; however this is a user preference that can be changed in the Security settings for Safari.

Select Elements^[2][edit]

HTML <select> elements gets special treatment in Safari on iPhone. A custom select control that is optimized for selecting items in the list using a finger as the input device is displayed. The user can 'flick' to scroll the listing and 'tap' to select an item from the list.

PDF, Excel, Word and text files^[3][edit]

Safari on iPhone uses iPhone's native application for displaying files of these types. PDF documents are displayed in a browser window, and a page indicator keeps track of where a user is in the document. The orientation of the document on the screen automatically rotates with the orientation of the iPhone.

QuickTime audio and video files^[4][edit]

  'Mouseover' events aren't available on non-clickable elements; to activate 'mouseover' events on clickable elements, a user must use the 'touch and hold' gesture.

  Hover styles

  Since a 'mouseover' event is sent only before a 'mousedown' event, hover styles are displayed only if the user taps and holds a clickable element with a hover style.
