Apple has just released a public beta of its Safari browser for Windows.
On the download page Apple write: "Apple engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one".
So, I've decided to take it for a test drive, and ran Hamachi. I wasn't surprised to get a nice crash few minutes later...
A first glance at the debugger showed me that this memory corruption might be exploitable. Although, I'll have to dig more to be sure of that.
Again, this is just a beta version..
Some things that Safari do not have while FireFox have *Ugly theme/buttons *Ugly window buttons (minimize/maximize/restore/close) *Clicking taskbar does not minimize it *"You haven't entered anything in Google box" Geez, maybe I just wanted to intuitively go to Google.com *"great" Apple UI everywhere, for example, windows only resizable via bottom right. *Click on a .wmv, it opens in WMP. In IE7 or FF, they give choice to download or open, and FF even lets me pref to automatically download *Lack of favicons in bookmarks bar *RSS button unstandard. IE and FF have come to truce with this *no autoscroll *middle click doesn't close tabs, open tabs from bookmarks bar *No "recently closed tabs" *no status bar by default *no inline spell check *no double click tab bar to get new tab *crashed twice already, FF crashes maybe once a week *no adblocking *no "google/yahoo search suggest" *backspace doesn't go back *edit bookmarks name/address separately, huh?
