Experience
the web, Apple Style, with Safari - the fastest, easiest to use web
browser in the world. Safari - It’s a browser. It’s a platform.
It’s an open invitation to innovate. Whether on a Mac, PC, iPhone, or
iPod touch, Safari continuously redefines the browser, providing the
most enjoyable way to experience the Internet. With its simple, elegant
interface, Safari gets out of your way and lets you enjoy the web. It
renders web pages at lightning speed. It works on the iPhone, iPod
touch, Mac and PC. It shows you your favorite sites at a glance. And
it’s so smart, it even checks your spelling and grammar. Meet Safari 4,
the world’s most innovative browser. Safari is designed to emphasize
the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel
wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. By default, there’s no
status bar. Instead, a progress gear turns as your page loads. And if
you so choose, you can hide almost the entire interface, removing
virtually every distraction from the browser window.
A great
browser should get out of your way and let you simply enjoy the web.
Safari does just that. And it does it regardless of platform.
The first browser to deliver the “real” internet to a mobile device,
Safari renders pages on iPhone and iPod touch just as you see them on
your computer. But this is more than just a scaled down mobile-version
of the original. It takes advantage of the technologies built into
these multi-touch devices. The page shifts and reformats to fill the
window when you turn it on its side. You zoom in just by pinching and
extending your fingers. Of course, no matter how you access it, Safari
is always blazing fast and easy-to-use.
Before Safari,
browsers were an afterthought. Something you put up with if you wanted
to surf the internet. One browser looked and felt just like another, so
you chose the one that worked the best and crashed the least. They were
ugly, cluttered affairs, whose interfaces competed for your attention
and made browsing — the very purpose for which they were created — more
difficult. Safari changes all that.
