Being the Apple guy I am, I started messing around with Safari, Apple's recently-unveiled, still-in-beta web browser. I only recently discovered the glory of Chimera, and having gone through the hassle of reorganizing and transferring my bookmarks from Internet Explorer to that browser, I wasn't looking forward to starting all over again. But I'm a Mac geek, so I had to give it a try.
The verdict? Well, it is a beta, and while it's a good start, Safari still needs a lot of work. The best news is that it's FAST, even faster than Chimera's Navigator, which was faster than IE. But, in keeping with Apple's tendency to rip off other people's innovations and make them their own through zippy marketing (do a side-by-side comparison of Apple's Sherlock with its superior inspiration, Watson, for an excellent example, and then go buy the latter), the "complete rethinking" of bookmarks in Safari is merely an enhancement of Chimera's excellent bookmark organization, in which you can slot bookmarks in subfolders when you make them. And since Safari isn't letting me import my old bookmarks more than one at a time (I've got over a hundred of the suckers), and is naming them incorrectly when I DO import them, I'm not really to dig in and get comfortable with it. The fact that you can't print more than one page doesn't really bother me, as I don't have a printer, they seem to have fixed the problem with Javascript that was preventing me from accessing me my Hotmail account, and it has a nice pop-up blocker like Navigator, but Safari lacks Navigator's handy ability to save logins and passwords for every site you visit, and I'm not crazy about the straight-outta-iTunes interface: the Apple development team seems to be od'ing on chrome.
So, I wouldn't kick Safari out of bed for eating crackers, as my dad likes to say, but I'll stick with Navigator until they get it out of beta. And who cares about the buggy browser? The 12-inch Powerbooks should be getting to Tekserve in a couple weeks, at which point I'll be doing a serious happy dance.
