Comments on: Safari 4: Can it beat Firefox 3? I believe it can. http://blog.smileybarry.com/safari-4-can-it-beat-firefox-3-i-believe-it-can Here for fun :-) Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:14:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Smiley Barry http://blog.smileybarry.com/safari-4-can-it-beat-firefox-3-i-believe-it-can/comment-page-1#comment-192 Smiley Barry Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:29:57 +0000 http://smiley.duogrid.com/?p=139#comment-192 Yes, true. I still run a browser, but a minimized one. Like Prism is, but much faster with great font smoothing and sometimes better compatibility. About the crashes: Yes, it <i>does</i> crash, freeze, malfunction and run into a "CFurl:302" (or whatever it's called, that's how I remember it) error a lot, although that last bit also usually happens with the release version for Windows, Safari 3. About that crash with the local web app, I believe it's because WebKit may've "planned" time for downloading and has seen it downloads in a matter of a few hundred milliseconds (since it's local), which is why it can crash. (Rendering at the wrong time) About a potential for exploits though: what do you mean? How can it be exploited? :???: Yes, true. I still run a browser, but a minimized one.

I see serious potential for exploits there. And actually, if you get right down to it, you're still running a browser when you 'save as web application,' it uses all the same assemblies, consumes a thread, etc. It just doesn't have all the other webkit driven functionality. Personally though, the developer release on os x I found to have issues hanging on pages that require authentication, and crashing if I'm running on a locally served web application.
