Posted by: Adrian F. on 03 February 2004

Finally the new Safari 1.2 together with the Java 1.4.2 update works properly with the forums "advanced interface"...

Java 1.4.2

Safari 1.2

Or via built-in "Software Update..." feature. (OS X, 10.3 only).

While you're at it try the new beta of the Omniweb 5 browser

www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/5/beta

Nice tab implementation and very fast rendering (which can only get faster, we hope).

Cheers,

Tim

Got it (Safari & java updates) via software update last night, and definetly faster loading of web pages etc, and some improvements re drag and drop of pictures, as in copying from the cache rather than re-downloading them.

Also installed iLife; Garageband is a hoot, but in particular very impressed with the update to iPhoto.

Tim, Omniweb is rubbish, also its the only web browser I am aware of that charges you money!

Check out, Camino, Safari, Firebird which are all free and all better.

Gary --

Omniweb WAS rubbish...this new version (still Beta) uses the same rendering engine as Safari (but feels faster) and they've got a really nice Tab implementation. And you don't HAVE to pay...they'd just prefer it if you did...

And anyway, isn't it nice to have the choice?

Cheers,

Tim
