Apple Safari 3.1 Update

by Scott

I can’t seem to give it up. My favorite web browser is still Safari.

I know, I know… Firefox is more widely used, Opera has that cool “speed-dial” thingy, but I love Mac. And I love iLife integration. And I love trying to use Apple applications for everything I can. (I’m still holding strong with Aperture!)

Anyway, this morning, Apple made version 3.1 of Safari available for free download. It’s available for both PC and Mac here.

One of my favorite new features (I haven’t spent much time exploring yet) is the Develop menu that can be activated in the program’s preferences. As a web developer, it allows me to quickly analyze a page’s scripts, CSS, image elements, etc, and compare their performance in different browsers. Previously, I’d used the Web Developer extension in Firefox for this purpose.

The detailed documentation on Safari 3.1 from Apple is available here.
