When I got my Mac, the first thing I downloaded was Firefox.

Now I’m using Safari and loving it. Recently, Apple released Safari for Windows. Maybe you should check it out.

Safari is a web browser. If you need reasons NOT to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) then read this article. Suffice it to say IE is absolutely NOT the safest web browser.

If you load up the same page in IE, Firefox and Safari you will be surprised. Web pages look different depending on how the browser interprets them. If you look at my site in IE for example, you will note the top line menu first appears as a white block then eventually becomes a glowing button, whereas in other browsers it shows up properly straight away.

Safari has RSS built in. This lets you get the latest blogs, podcasts and news as it is available.

Safari is allegedly the only browser to accurately display photos as they really are, so the colours and brightness are exactly as the author intended.

There’s parent controls. And Safari has a really good privacy mode for grown ups. Surf history, cookies and other traces (of where you’ve been) are not recorded in privacy mode. You can turn this on and off at will.

And Safari does not have Active X so it is relatively safe for surfing.

It’s FREE please try it. Get it here.
