Download Apple Safari 4, The Fastest Browser For Windows
Safari 4 by Apple is now available. According to iBench it is the fastest browser in the market. Based on my own experience, it doesn’t feel any faster than my Firefox 3, neither am I experiencing a faster browsing speed over my Internet Explorer 7 or my Opera 9. In all honesty, the browsing speed feels the same, just like any other browser.
On the interface, there are some cosmetic changes, minor.
However, the biggest change is none other than the text rendering engine. Apple has finally decided to please Windows user knowing very well they are unable to gain any market share among Windows user because of the text rendering engine used in previous Safari. Read this post on the text rendering engine comparison between IE and Safari.
It is unlike for Safari to gain any new converts from Firefox and IE due to their way Safari handles font rendering. The way Apple does fonts is very different from the way Microsoft does fonts, and there seems to be little to no common ground.
Its sharper now, and easier on the eyes. I have to admit that the text rendering engine is one of the biggest reason why I decided not to use Safari. Download Safari 4 now.

Apple begin a design cautious company tries to keep the design of the typeface as close to the actual look, thus explains the blurring. Whereas Microsoft trims the typeface to fit with the pixel on the LCD monitor, thus explain the sharper look.
