Safari 3 beta is out
Along with web site redesign Apple released new version of their browser for both platforms (Windows & Mac). I am very pleased with Apple's decision to popularise their browser. It's better then ever. Clean, fast and great looking. They fixed many issues people complained about, including non-clickable labels, non-stylable form elements, excessive URL autofill, and many other bugs which many found annoying in daily usage of this browser. There are also new features like inline search (which is fantastic), drag & drop tabs, resizable text fields (really cool) and many more other improvements.
Version 3 proves to be a mature, stable browser with great performance and fantastic rendering. As it is based on open source WebKit (see what they did there, MS?) finding and fixing bugs became much faster and manageable for Apple. I am very happy to use it as my full-time browser, leaving Firefox for development.
With all this it looks like Apple is busy with getting ready for Leopard.

Have to revert to Safari 2 for now until all 3rd party applications using WebKit catch up with v3. Shame.
