gandalf55 · Feb 12, 2003, 02:44 PM

flash is much faster now... a 15fps improvement. surfing seems much faster. way to go apple!!!!

Backtothemac · Feb 12, 2003, 02:45 PM

I see no difference on my iBook here at work. None at all.

davy the bunny · Feb 12, 2003, 02:48 PM

Can't Wait till I get home to try it out. Sparkleytone and Gus beat this one though, heh.

bennyek · Feb 12, 2003, 02:48 PM

I'm suprised they have'nt added support for online banking with wells fargo bank. It's the biggest bank in california. it is the only reason I still use IE
Geezzz

pEZ · Feb 12, 2003, 02:55 PM

Sorry guys, Chimera still loads my favorite sites faster. Still not too happy with it.

And the Wells Fargo Bank thing is pretty bizarre, if you ask me.

3777 · Feb 12, 2003, 03:01 PM

They fixed the hotmail java issue, and it's the fastest browser I have. I am very happy with it

Plus my e-trade works great in Safari

Hve you tried changing your user string to announce the browser as IE?

britboy · Feb 12, 2003, 03:17 PM

Definite improvement, although it still has some issues. Hotmail works better than with .51, but it's still a little quirky.

No tabbed browsing yet. Hopefully it won't take too long before that option is oncorporated.

spacepower · Feb 12, 2003, 03:25 PM

Has anyone figured out how to turn off web address autocomplete. This is one of the most annoying features. At least everyone else except apple offeres this option in there browsers. I would have thought that it would be easier to write safari without autocomplete rather than include it. Apple please give me the option to turns this off.

pgwalsh · Feb 12, 2003, 03:25 PM

I've noticed some improvements with displaying certain web pages the showed up fine in IE and NN. Nice!

robMaurizi · Feb 12, 2003, 03:32 PM

<edit> d'oh.. quoted the wrong post.. Meant to quote the one about the auto-complete URL feature.. really annoying... </edit>

I wholeheartedly agree.. This is easily the worst feature of Safari...

On another note, it seems to handle Java a little bit better, but I still can't properly play Monopoly at www.playsite.com.

I also still have trouble with sites with expired security certificates.

iPegboy · Feb 12, 2003, 03:38 PM

Hotmail works, that's good. But I am having a new problem, with the dock. I drag a copy of the new safari over to the dock to add it and it appears. Then when I click on the icon there, a new icon appears at the end of the dock, doubling the space and making everything else smaller.

Anyone else with this problem? Am I just doing something stupid-like?

jayscheuerle · Feb 12, 2003, 03:43 PM

Let me know when tabs show up...

CHIMERA ROCKS!!!

FelixDerKater · Feb 12, 2003, 03:53 PM

Flash is much faster.

My https:// webmail site still says it can't connect. When trying to log in to my bank's online section, Safari now locks up instead of just stopping at "Accessing Account info".

JGowan · Feb 12, 2003, 04:00 PM

I don't know if it's fixed yet (I haven't been home to download the update)... but did anyone notice that with Apple's OWN site, if you had a large monitor and opened the browser window, the buttons at the top would not be centered with the text and graphics in the main part of the window, but would get more and more off the further the window was opened up?

Wow... you'd think their own site would be the one that looked the absolute best with their own browser.

I love Apple, but this surprised me.

woodsey · Feb 12, 2003, 04:30 PM

Just reporting that apple.com now appears centered within the browser window.

trilogic · Feb 12, 2003, 04:33 PM

I'm doing some test about flash playback speed. This is what I get on my TiBook667

old safari V50: 10 fps
new safari V60: 25 fps
chimera : 22.88 fps
ie 5.22: 22.70 to 23.1 (not absolutly steady)
ns 7.0: 23.8 fps

okay the new safari is the fastest browser when it comes to flash playback.

interessting: if you move a browserwindow with a playing flashmovie, the movie doesn't stop in chimera and safari.

atomwork · Feb 12, 2003, 04:35 PM

great. i was waiting for this. finally i can use it for heavy flash content sites. Now we can call it the fastes browser.

go apple!

trilogic · Feb 12, 2003, 04:41 PM

I'll do the same tests on the pc at work tomorrow. I'm not exactly shure but I thought on the pc I could reach 30fps.

Timothy · Feb 12, 2003, 04:46 PM

OK...I'm now switching to Safari. I had several important sites that previously would not load in Safari. This update has solved that, so I am making the switch and dumping IE.

I trust that Safari will only improve from here. The absolute key, whatever else is added/removed from a browser, is a universal ability to load and view pages. Absent this, none of the other features matter.

Good update.

britboy · Feb 12, 2003, 04:49 PM

Is anyone else finding that the lines on macrumors no longer seem to line up?

eric_n_dfw · Feb 12, 2003, 04:49 PM

I like the URL auto-complete.
