Internet Explorer 8 vs. Safari 4

March-a month marked with two major releases of Internet: Microsoft has released the final version of Internet Explorer 8, as the company Apple, eternal rival MS, presented a new, fourth version of its browser - Safari for Windows (it's true, yet in the beta-phase). We decided to compare with each other browsers, but also - to examine the changes that were made by developers in new version. But first - a bit of history.

To the general public releases IE8 appeared a year ago. Besides, the whole last year, Microsoft increasingly attracted attention in the new version of the browser: it was represented in Moscow, the first person company (Steve Balmer, Erik Radder, Mark Russian), its ability to demonstrate at press events and various workshops. MS activity is clear: in addition to those already familiar rivals in the face of Firefox 3 and Opera 9, the popularity of Internet Explorer began to threaten the two new players in the market of Windows-Browser: Google Chrome and that Apple Safari.


The two new items were in his own surprise: the Internet Corporation of Google have not produced any browser, and Apple - not making browsers for Windows. But now both companies have decided to expand its sphere of influence. The main advantage Apple and Google were not even the functionality of the browser, but the reputation of the companies - those of a large army, who were forced to work on the PC, immediately scrambled to install Safari, do not even think about what benefits they provide. Similarly, and with Google Chrome: the Internet community is not without reason decided that no one can make the browser more convenient, faster and more reliable than the creators of the best search engine, and excellent online services.

In safari 4, the design of browser is some difference . Safari 3 seemed quite, scrolling in the form of drops of blue, metallic color of the windows, the total dominance of strong hues. Safari interface looked something totally alien, but to those who are sympathetic to the style of Mac OS, it was just a balm for the soul. Confess that I myself used Safari 3 for Windows for this reason. Plus, the entire text of browser look a little different than in IE.
