Safari has been Apple's Web browser for many years, and the company keeps making improvements to it at regular intervals. Originally designed to be a Web browser with the Mac OS look and feel, Safari has been part of the Apple family a long time. Apple support isn't the only reason to use it, though; it has other strengths. With the latest releases, you can do many tasks that used to require multiple apps or a lot of keystrokes. For example, you can send a tweet or post content to Facebook from within Safari. If you visit a site on your MacBook or iMac and have iCloud integration, the same page can be pushed to your iPhone or iPad so you don't have to look for it twice.
There's a private-browsing feature that hides your tracks, too. In the recent versions of Safari there aren't separate search and URL fields; there's one text-entry area and Safari figures out what you want. Autofill and smart-search options suggest Web sites before you've typed the entire URL. There's support for multiple browser windows with thumbnail overviews, with quick zooming in and out. While the era of radical changes to Web browsers has gone by, small improvements that help navigation and cut down on keystrokes are always welcome.
Safari has always been the standard browser of Mac users, and by continuing to develop its product, Apple has kept it that way. The latest version of Safari continues that tradition.
For example you can click on 10.7 under the Mac OS X heading and then choose Safari in the browsers section and see that Safari 6 is the only version supported. However, if you select just 10.7 you can see that there is a lot more versions available for Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
Advertisement Safari 6 comes bundled with Mountain Lion, but if you’re not upgrading, you can download it via Software Update. And it’s certainly worth the update if Safari is your primary browser. Here are the new features it brings:. Smart Search Field. Safari now has one field for typing both searches and web addresses. Offline Reading List.
Safari saves entire webpages in your Reading List so you can catch up on your reading even when you don’t have an Internet connection. Do Not Track. Safari can send the websites you visit a request not to track you online. Password pane. Manage your saved website logins with the new Password pane.
The leading Chinese search engine Baidu is now a built-in option for Chinese users. Safari 6 also “includes improvements to stability, compatibility, usability and security.” Apple promises that the swipe to navigate feature now works with PDFs, and that issues affecting full screen video in webpages that have positioned content have now been fixed. Safari 6 also restores the state of Reading List when launched, and restores a user’s previous cookies after leaving Private Browsing mode.
