A few week ago Apple launched version 5.0.1 of its Safari browser. It fixes the major security weakness. It turns on the support for the extensions, where Apple is gathering in its new extension. The amount of available add-ins is meagre when compared to Google Chrome or particularly Firefox, but already there is some good stuff – The one I like is the Gmail Counter, which adds a button which indicates the number of emails that has been arrived since you did the last check on your inbox, along with a banner which rotates through the recent subject lines. Safari extension is the most flawless installation process.
Until now, when people asked me that how does the major browser stack up, I have mainly commend Safari but that the short of extensions made it to be less suitable working environment. But now it has got all of them. The other reason for considering the Safari is one less main unique characteristic for the competition.
Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera are all really good browser and they are developing more similar. The overarching objectives are mostly industry wide ones like cutting edge HTML5 support, slicker frameworks for extension, more modest interfaces and zipper performance and other customizations.
An awkwardness of best browser to opt from is great news, of course. But on some odd level, it leaves me offhand about the entire topic. Most of the majority browsers are roughly comparable. And I am unable to remember which browser that I am using at the moment. (at present I have chrome, safari, Firefox open.)
At some point of time the interfaces will get as smooth as they are going to get, it will be tough to get more speed out of the JavaScript engines, and HTML5 will be all over the place. The browser developers must have to fastener onto new ideas and when they do; their products may again feel more characteristic than they do at the moment..
I am not asserting that there is nothing distinctive in the current browsers. A few e.g. of new ideas currently on display: Opera’s Turbo browsing, Safari’s easy reading mode, Firefox’s “tab candy” and all the social characteristics in my favourite underdog browser, Flock. I looking forward to see more stuffs like this and I keep my fingers crossed.
