Yesterday Apple released a new beta version of their web browser, Safari. All I can say about it is WOW. It is faster that the previous versions and faster than Firefox. Not to mention the new view options.
There is this new thing called Top Sites (see below). It is a page that shows you all the recent pages you have viewed, but you can also “pin” your favorite sites on this page. If one of the pages changes since your last view, it will display a star in the corner. This is great if you are an avid blog reader, as my wife is.

Another cool feature is the new history browser. If you have ever used iTunes then you know that you can view your albums by album cover. Well now you can use that same sort of view in Safari to view your browser history. This comes in handy if you went to a site and for got what the address was, but you remember the look of the page.
There are tons more great features, but these are the ones that stood out to me.
This is a beta and there are some bugs, but overall this is a great app. If you haven’t already done so head over to Apple and download it. It’s available for both Windows and Mac.
