I'm Loving Safari for PC

I downloaded Safari for PC recently (it's free). I really like the way it handles.

Anything I need to worry about by using it?
 
Safari for Windows is known to be one of the worst pieces of software.
 
I like the way it handles on my Mac too. :)

Unfortunately I tried it when they first released it for Windows on my work computer, and it was rather slow. Hopefully they've made some improvements to it since then as it is a great browser IMO. I prefer it over Firefox, not to mention IE.

It seems very fast for me.

By anyone who installed it when it came out. Message boards and news sites were full of annoyed users who reported many bugs, badly displayed websites, crashes...
 
The beta version did have its share of bugs for windows. But it's been almost a year and a new revision has been released. I don't see any downside.
 
i use it on the mac and i'm quite happy - i have not seen the pc version though.

Ya it's true. Just to name one, msn msg board doesn't work with safari. You'll get a "browser not supported" error.
 
By the way, it is great on a mac, but if you run it on a pc it will destroy your hard drive. Umm.....Unless you get someone to lick your biceps.

That's more the message boards problem than Safari's. If the message board used code based on web standards it would work in any browser. ;)
 
It's been said before but it deserves saying again:

Apple software works BEAUTIFULLY as long as it's running on a Mac.

But if you write software for a Mac then the amount of hacking you have to do in order to get it to run on Windows at all (because the underlying design of Windows has more bugs in it than you can shake a stick at) is so much that it's simply not worth the effort in 90% of cases.

The issue isn't with Safari/iTunes/whatever, it's that Safari/iTunes/whatever causes the underlying brain-deadness of the Windows OS to be brought to the surface.
 
I just installed Safari 4 again and it's working great. When it was first released it was S L O W and so I backed out of it to Safari 3, but enough time passed and I tried it again. I'm happy.

Now I'm waiting for Chrome for Mac. :)
 
simply by getting the computer user to click on a malicious URL

That's really a fault of the user, not the software. Anyone who clicks on URLs they don't know isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer anyway.

Whenever I do secure stuff like banking, I still use Firefox with all the usual Symantec/Norton protections.

Umm what? I bet you about clicked 10-20 URLs today that you don't "know".

Umm no. I tend to only visit sites I know. If I'm going to visit a site I don't know, I don't do it in Safari or Chrome. I do it in Firefox. I have the Symantec plug-in feature activated in Firefox. I don't like the way bookmarks work on Firefox, that's why I don't use it all the time.
 
So? And how does that protect you? You may "know" the site, you might not know what is behind a link on the site.
If I would go mad one day and start hiding "malicious" URLs in usual JUB forum links you already would have been infected because (as you quoted) it's enough just to click on a link. And it doesn't even need me to be going berserk, it could just have been some hacker who hacked JUB.
Only going to "known" sites is a very poor excuse for using unsecure software.

No, I meant they reported it on message boards, it's not the message board itself that had problems with it.
