Apple introduced the Safari 4 Beta web browser yesterday. I already installed it and it is super fast and has a lot of improvements. In performance test the new Safari web browser is said to be more than 42 times faster than Internet Explorer.

Read more about Safari's speed here. If you are a mac-user or windows user..go get it here. In my opinion it is the best web browser out there. The web browser "war" is continuing and Internet Explorer is still the king.

Browserwar:


Quick Background:

Internet Explorer is the browser that comes pre-installed on all Windows operating systems. Since Windows also has almost 90% market share for Operating Systems, its dominance in the browser market is not surprising. Detractors of Internet Explorer have many complaints including: security vulnerabilities, non-adherence to interoperability standards, and general performance issues.

Safari is the most common browser on Apple computers. Apple has recently ported Safari to run on Windows operating systems, and even included the installation download for users of its popular iTunes software (whether you wanted it or not).

Google Chrome is a very new player in the browser market. Google outfitted its browser with an extremely fast engine for running java applications - a feature that Internet Explorer and Firefox have quickly rushed to copy.

And, last-but-not-least is Firefox: the browser from the Open Source organization known as Mozilla. I like to think as Firefox as the phoenix that rose from the ashes of Netscape - the browser that enjoyed up to 90% market share during most of the 1990s.
