Safari Browser
The new browser from Apple, Safari (Beta 1.0) is definitely the fastest I've tried, which is nice. I like the way bookmarks are handled. The snapback feature is convenient. Some sites don't work quite as expected, but nothing too serious. My Internet Banking site works, but the Bank detects the browser as an old mac version of some old browser and loads an old version of the java applet used by the bank as a client, which is a pity. (IE5.2 for OSX completely wrecked the banking app, so I can't even use any version of it, whereas IE5.1 under OS9 works well!) As usual for the Mac platform, the javascript errors prevent many menu drop-down menu implementations from working. It would be a good idea to put it through all the CSS tests - no doubt various people are doing that and feeding results back to Apple.
It does look good too - with the brushed metal style. Looking forward to the final release.
New: I note that Doc Searls likes it but has a few issues. Some of which he now retracts!
