Good news for Windows users who always wanted to try Apple's popular web browser "Safari". Apple has released a new version 5.1.1 of its web browser "Safari" which can be installed in Windows.
According to Apple, Safari 5.1.1 includes support for iCloud. iCloud stores your Safari bookmarks and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices.
Safari 5.1.1 also contains various bug fixes and improvements to stability, compatibility, and security, including fixes that:
- Address issues that could cause hangs and excessive memory usage
- Improve stability when using Find, dragging tabs, and managing extensions
- Improve stability for netflix.com and other websites that use the Silverlight plug-in
- Improve stability when zooming on Google maps
- Address an issue that could prevent East Asian character input into webpages with Flash content
- Address an issue that could cause History items to appear incorrectly
- Address an issue that could cause cleared Reading List items to appear
- Improve printing from Safari
- Address an issue that could prevent the Google Safe Browsing Service from updating
Following are some interesting features present in Safari:
Reading List: Whenever you come across something interesting on the web, save it to Reading List. Then when you have more time to read articles, watch videos, or shop, your link-filled Reading List is ready and waiting. You can browse through the entire list or see just your unread pages. And Safari Reader lets you see it all in a clean, uncluttered space free from blinking, annoying ads. Reading List shows you the title of each web page, the website it appeared on, and a text preview of the first few lines. You can add or delete a page, and toggle between all the links or just the ones you haven't read.
Privacy Pane: Some websites you visit can leave data on your computer. The new Privacy pane in Safari preferences shows what kind of data websites are storing and lets you remove it. You can also customize cookie settings and choose whether websites can request your location information.
Private AutoFill: Safari makes sure your information is kept private. Whenever you come across a web form, Safari automatically detects it and lets you choose to use AutoFill to complete the form with information from your Address Book. No information is ever added to a form automatically unless you say it's OK.
