Experience the web, Apple Style, with Safari - the fastest, easiest to use web browser in the world. With its simple, elegant

interface, Safari gets out of your way and lets you enjoy the web - up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer. Safari is a

web browser developed by Apple Inc. and included in Mac OS X. It was first released as a public beta on January 7, 2003, and

a final version was included as the default browser in Mac OS X v10.3. A beta version for Windows was released for the first

time on June 11, 2007. Safari also runs on Wine, although the graphics do not display properly.


Safari has a bookmark management scheme that functions like the iTunes jukebox software, integrates Apple's QuickTime

multimedia technology, and features a tabbed-browsing interface. A Google search box is a standard component of the Safari

interface, as are software services that automatically fill out web forms, manage passwords via Keychain and spell check

entries into web page text fields. The browser also includes an integrated pop-up ad blocker. An associated software from

Apple is the Web Inspector - a DOM Inspector-like utility that lets users and developers browse the Document Object Model of

a web page.

Since the release of Safari, its browser usage share has been climbing. For the month of May 2007, thecounter.com shows that

Safari has a usage share of 2.86%; NetApplications.com reports that Safari has a usage share of 4.59% as of April 2007, an

increase of 1.33 percentage points since May 2006.
