“Apple created Safari to bring innovation, speed and open standards back into web browsers, and today it takes another big step forward,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Safari 4 is the fastest and most efficient browser for Mac and Windows, with great integration of HTML 5 and CSS 3 web standards that enables the next generation of interactive web applications.”
Here are the specifications of Safari 4:
- It is built on the world’s most advanced browser technologies.
- Executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7.
- More than three times faster than Firefox 3.
