…and another thing: Safari for Windows is available

June 11th, 2007

Apple's WWDC keynote just ended, and cross-platform browser testing just got easier for those stuck on Windows: Safari is now available for Windows.

I gave it a quick spin, and even though it's a beta release, it's fast and reasonably stable crash-prone. It has lots of interesting features like the sexy tab dragging (First seen in Opera, perfected by Apple) — try dragging a tab outside its window.

The biggest thing for me is probably support for Apple-style shortcuts even on Windows — finally I can do Ctrl-W to close a window/tab instead of Ctrl-F4. The amount of frustration that will save me cannot be underestimated.

Other things worth noting:

Anyway, go play with the new Safari!

I managed to crash it after about 10 seconds, though — don't try to set your home page to google.com. It's a conspiracy!
