Safari
This is one browser that is dedicated to the Mac Operating
System. For the general public, Macintoshes have always been
computers that you want to own, but not necessarily use for work.
However, there are a niche set of users who swear by the
Macintosh for their daily tasks.
Safari was a browser that toppled Internet Explorer as the
default browser in the Macintosh. It made its debut on June 23,
2003 and was the default browser in the OS X v 10.3 operating system.

Safari was a browser that toppled Internet Explorer as the
default browser in the Macintosh. It made its debut on June 23,
2003 and was the default browser in the OS X v 10.3 operating system.
With the release of Mac OS X v10.4, Safari is the only Web
browser included with the operating system.
Safari uses Apple’s WebKit application framework for rendering
Web pages and for running JavaScript. WebKit is comprised of
two other frameworks which are WebCore an HTML parser based
on KHTML and JavaScriptCore which is based on KJS.
The Safari browser is a delight to use. It has a bookmark management
scheme, contains the integrated Apple QuickTime multimedia
technology (obviously!) and also features tabbed browsing.
The Google search engine box is the default search engine for the
browser. Other features include software that automatically fill
out Web forms and spell check entries into Web page text fields.
The latest version of Safari was released on April 29, 2005 and
includes a built in RSS and Atom reader. It also includes a private
browsing mode (which does not record any information of your
Web visit) and Parental Controls. It now also has the ability for saving
Web sites completely as Web Archives.
In this section, we have talked about browsers from the past
and those available currently. A browser, as mentioned earlier, is
the first gateway to the Internet for any user across the planet—
irrespective of the OS used. Browser evolution is a constant and
consistent process, and newer browsers such as Avant and Deepnet
provide more functionality to your browsing without weighing
down your computer resources. For now, you should choose the
browser that best suits your needs.
