WWDC 2007 - In a surprise "One more thing..." announcement at its Worldwide Developer Conference Monday, Apple says it will release version 3 of its Safari Web browser with Leopard in October, as well as a version for Windows XP and Vista.

Safari 3 is available today via a public beta download. According to Apple, Safari is roughly twice as fast as Internet Explorer and is roughly 42-percent faster than Firefox in terms of HTML browsing performance.

Safari 3 for Windows comes with the following features:

  • Pop-up blocking
  • Tabbed browsing
  • SnapBack
  • Private browsing

Safari

New to Safari is the ability to drag tabs out of the main browsing window. Doing so will turn a tab into its own browser window. This feature is available on both Mac and Windows versions of Safari. Private browsing turns off caching features, allowing users to browse without worrying that Google searches and page histories are saved.

No word from Apple on when the final release of Safari 3 will come but it's safe to say that when Leopard ships in October, Safari 3 will be finalized.

    I didn't feel safari was fast, about same speed as my Firefox. Plus missed my Ctrl+Enter shortcut there. But still no add blocking options in Safari. Plus font's really looked bad in safari, especially the bold fonts. No "sharpness" in the bold fonts. Somehow I found Firefox's bookmark manager easier, and cookie management in Firefox seemed a lot better. But Safari's RSS is great, one can choose the frequency and the days to keep articles, which i found great! Also you can use a custom CSS style sheet for all the pages you visit. Something interesting I found was that google does not redirect to .co.in domain while searching, as it does in Firefox or IE.
