I know Apple Safari browser 4.0 beta is already out there for some time. Don’t have time to review it until today.

Last Safari version 3.0 on my computer was 1 and half year ago. Frankly, Safari version 3.x not stable even with updated patch. Safari 3.0 always hung and need to force end task it process.

Apple made lots of improvement in its Safari 4.0 beta. Download here (~26mb) and give it a try. Its size 300% more than Firefox (~7mb) and still no plugin support. Yet, still a good web browser too!

Safari 4 Features

Why you should give a try on Safari 4? It made browsing more beautiful and smarter. Also, don’t overlook the nitro engine, load website in fast speed too.

Of course the significant upgrade is Top Sites and Cover Flow features.

Top Sites – You can preview favorite websites at a glance, whenever you open new tab or window. You can set top sites preview in small (24 sites), medium (12 sites) and large (6 sites).

It means you manage to browse websites with a click, no keyboard interaction. Perhaps make your surfing experience faster, easier. Don’t you think this feature has already in Opera browser some years ago?

Quite some time I didn’t update my blog. Too many things happen recently. Now my blogging life should come back as normal, perhaps.

Google release a second beta of its toolbar software that copy Chrome browser interface for Firefox. In Chrome, when you open new tab, it show you “Most Visited” site with thumbnail for selection.

The new Google toolbar 5 (beta) make your Firefox do the same thing. Not only that, but also shows “Recent Bookmarks” and “Recent closed tabs” as screen shot below.

Eventually, this feature already available in Opera browser before Chrome. So it is not a new thing. (more…)

After wait so long, Google has finally released its first open source web browser – Google Chrome. Before today, fake download link for Google Chrome is spreading around Internet. This proof that the world is so exciting. We all can’t wait to download and try the latest web browser by the giant search engine leader.

When I know Google is going to release its web browser, it remind me when Mozilla release its first Firefox edition last few years. I believe Google Chrome will spark the web browser industry, or at least produce another competition. Do you think Google Chrome will beat Mozilla Firefox? No wonder Google have to drop its Adsense Referral (including lots of Mozilla products) last month! (more…)
