My god, does Safari really look that ugly on Windows?

Here it is on Mac, make Chrome:Mac look like this please

Also, coverflow is introduced for history, where I think I would use it an awful lot

I think this is shaping up to be my browser of choice, I may not be able to switch to Chrome after seeing this, also, i think it could be very indicitive of where Apple might go Interface-Wise for snow leopard

Its more like fancy Chrome.

Here is a graph of the JavaScript performance in the new engine :D http://images.macrumors.com/article/2009/02/25/103018-pc_benchmarks1.jpg_425.jpg

42 times faster than IE7! I'm glad to see IE8 has made such an improvement over IE7 by the way.

BTW, I forgot to say IE7 isn't on the graph because it would be harder to tell the difference between the rest of the browsers then. No joke.

The most recent version of Chromium (you could call it "nightly") is slightly faster than Safari 4 beta.

Chrome 2 (dev channel) kicks Safari 4's ass. btw safari looks too muck like chrome not a pleasant design from apple (I expected more than just a copy)
