Safari 3 beta is now available for Windows and Mac

During yesterday's Apple keynote, Steve Jobs announced that Safari would now be available for Windows. They also released a beta version of Safari 3 that is supposedly faster than Internet Explorer 7, FireFox, and Opera. I've tried it myself and it does seem to be faster although, I cannot official test it. Still if you are looking to save yourself some time and be more productive, a faster web browser could be very useful. I'm sticking with FireFox for right now, but I may switch once Safari 3 is in its final version. Here is a list of the improved features:

  1. Blazing Performance

    Safari is the fastest web browser on any platform.

  2. Elegant User Interface

    Safari’s clean look lets you focus on the web — not your browser.

  3. Easy Bookmarks

    Organize your bookmarks just like you organize music in iTunes.

  4. Pop-up Blocking

    Say goodbye to annoying pop-up ads and pop-under windows.

  5. Inline Find

    Search any text on any website with the integrated Find banner.

  6. Tabbed Browsing

    Open and switch between multiple web pages in a single window.

  1. SnapBack

    Instantly snap back to search results or the top level of a website.

  2. Forms AutoFill

    Let Safari complete online forms for you, automatically and securely.

  3. Built-in RSS

    RSS tells you when new content is added to your favorite sites.

  4. Resizable Text Fields

    Resize text fields on any website: Just grab the corner and drag.

  5. Private Browsing

    Keep your online activities private with a single click.

  6. Security

    Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.
