 Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report
There’s danger that some developers will sniff for Safari and serve it an alternative style sheet, though that risk is somewhat minimized by the fact that Safari, being limited to OS X, is unlikely to capture a whopping chunk of the market.
Safari identifies itself as Mozilla/Gecko, which could create as many problems for the browser detection crowd as Opera’s tendency to identify itself as Explorer unless the user tells it to do otherwise.
Safari’s switch to 72 ppi also slightly increases the likelihood that Mac-based designers will keep specifying their text sizes in pixels, since pixels render accurately 99.9% of the time, regardless of browser and platform differences.

 The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Worthy rivals take on quirky Safari browser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
In November 2002, I rounded up several browsers that had their strong points as alternatives to IE; a couple of months later, Apple's introduction of its free Safari browser pounded the nails into IE's coffin, and, I would have guessed, pushed competing browsers into the dustbin of history.
Four other browsers are worth contemplating, especially as three make their way from beta to release in the next few weeks to months: Camino 0.8b, Mozilla 1.7RC2 (release candidate), OmniWeb 5 (beta 6.1) and Opera 7.5 (release version).
Safari set the bar so high that these other browsers shave seconds — not tens of seconds — off a task.

 Apple's Safari Browser Is Hard to Close
I've noticed that Safari does have a problem when I'm adding information to certain types of text fields, depending on how the page is designed, and because bug reports are so easy to file, I haven't hesitated to let the Apple engineers know.
Safari is a very nice browser, but I miss the GUI adjustability of Chimera/Camino.
But remember, this is the first release of Safari, and Chimera has been around for a while.

 Blocking stylesheet rules from Safari | Holovaty.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
would always be hidden from version 1.0 Safari browsers (obviously) -- but in, say, version 1.2, after the Safari developers have fixed the bugs that encouraged Web developers to use the v1.0 hack in the first place, the new browser would not ignore the 1.0 hack anymore.
That browser has several huge positioning bugs that have swiftly become the bane of my design existence.
I have observed one problem with Safari beta that I can't resolve -- you can't use it to log into a Hotmail account because the Hotmail site seems to sense that Safari is running without Javascript support, though Javascript works on every other site I've tried.

 The Safari browser and its "bad server response" error
Many administrators who use compression on their web servers can probably tell you how fastidious the Safari browser can be when it receives compressed data.
This is the browser that is developing a reputation for the dreaded "bad server response" (NSURLerrorDomain:-1011) error message that gets thrown ostensibly by merely sending compressed data.
Safari users are likely to make up a very small percentage of your user base.

However, Steve Jobs Expo Keynote calim that “Safari is the fastest browser on the Mac, and we predict that many will feel it is the best browser ever created,” is simply untrue in the first instance and unlikely in the second at this stage of Safari's development.

 Why are Safari and Sherlock two different applications? (kottke.org)
Safari is still in beta so it might be unfair to criticize too much, but Apple missed an opportunity to innovate the browser in a truly useful way.
Safari's speed, the most frequently-complemented feature, is only possible with a lean code base.
Safari is 7.1 MB and Sherlock is 11.8 MB...combining them crudely would yield a 18.9 MB app, less than both IE 5.2 and Chimera.

 Surfin' Safari   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Browsers are trying to make information easier to manage with smarter bookmarking systems and page management capabilities (tabs), and news readers are emerging that (in effect) push new information to you in as it's posted and allow you to switch rapidly between different information sets as well.
Safari supports an extension for examining the preferred stylesheet set and for setting the current active stylesheet set, so if you want to swap between sets of sheets in Safari, you don't have to loop over all of them setting the

 Apple updates Safari Web browser, adding tabbed windows
Basically, you can view one Web page at a time within the browser's window frame; the others are "behind" the one you are viewing, ready to take its place if you click on any of their tabs.
You can turn off tabs in Safari's preferences and use Safari the older way, in which all new windows open separately, or you can mix 'n' match your windows by Ctrl-clicking links and choosing tabbed or non-tabbed windows for each one.
OS X is a superb multitasking operating system (able to do many things at the same time, in other words), but I suspect many users single-task their browsers -- by opening one window and then closing it before they open the next.

 Welcome to the browser jungle, Safari | CNET News.com
Apple's new releases are indicative of the company’s strategy to break out of its single-digit market share niche by focusing as much on software development as on the fancy hardware that drew thunderous applause from the faithful gathered here at Macworld Expo.
While Safari amounts to another chip on Apple's shoulder, it represents a significant setback for Mozilla, the open-source browser development group funded by AOL Time Warner's Netscape unit that supplies the technology behind the Netscape browser, among others.

Safari can even use the system-wide spell checker to flag errors in Web forms, sparing you from riddling your Hotmail correspondence with typos.
