Safari 3.1 for WIndows

Brief notes on safari:

Font rendering is very different. Personally I find text more readable in Safari, but I can see how it would not the same for everyone, and really depends on what you're used to.

The installer doesn't allow you to choose where you put the program shortcuts.

No way of using Google bookmarks (from Google toolbar).

Safari feels a lot faster in operation navigating around websites.

Safari is much faster for zooming in/out of Google maps.

Some minor niggles:
  • Window resize handles are too small.
  • Middle mouse button doesn't close tabs.
  • Pasting an address is a many click operation (triple left-click or single click on address depending on where the focus was, right click, choose paste). In Firefox it is just right click, paste.
