Apple Inc. announced this morning that Safari 3.1 web browser is ready to download at its main web site.
According to Apple’s staff, Safari 3.1 is the world’s fastest web browser for Mac and Windows PCs. In addition to loading web pages 1.9 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2, Safari 3.1 runs JavaScript up to six times faster than other browsers.
It’s to be noted that several tests have been made comparing the performance speed of Firefox 3 Beta 4 with other well known web browsers, and every time it came in first. The specific test was Apple’s SunSpider JavaScript and these were the results of the first three places:
1. Firefox 3 Beta 4: 6,972.2 ms
2. Safari 3.1: 7,411.8 ms
3. Opera 9.5.9807 Beta: 10,824.0
As you can clearly see, Firefox 3 is still the “king of the hill” regarding speed and a lot of other features as well.
Available for free download for Mac OS X and Windows, Safari 3.1 is also the browser to support the latest innovative web standards needed to deliver the next generation of highly interactive Web 2.0 experiences.
