Top 7 reasons why Safari 3 sucks!
Steve Job’s Safari enters Microsoft Windows Jurassic Park. There are many wild bugs but it's not strong enough to fight the huge IE and FF dinosaurs
The browser war is at its zenith and the latest entry in the field is Safari 3. Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs made a recent deliberate move, introducing a version of the Safari browser for Microsoft Windows based computers. Steve Jobs made this announcement during his address note in this week's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Though this browser is claimed to be "the fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world”, personally I feel there are less reasons why Windows users will download and shift to this browser. The only Mac software currently in use by Windows users, iTunes, wouldn't be there if you could use something else to control your iPod. Looks like Safari for Windows is another poorly developed, rushed to market Apple program.

- Restore Window: Do you think if you click on the taskbar the window will restore??. Well not in Safari. It doesn’t!!!
- Ctrl+Enter: Just type Zolved in the address bar and if you expect that the page will come up in Safari, you are wrong. It won’t!!!
- Restore and resize: If you minimize your window, while its in full screen then restore it, it will come back resized and not in the full screen.
- Increase or decrease font size: If you are trying to increase or decrease the font size by pressing ‘Ctrl’ and ‘+’ or ‘Ctrl’ and ‘scrolling the mouse’, its just a waste of time. It won’t work.
- Tab Navigation: My traditional hot key does not navigate among the windows. Have searched almost all the keys but seems nothing works.
- RSS Feed: I tried to subscribe a RSS feed from Zolved.com, which I successfully subscribed to. Now the next time when the enter Zolved.com, it redirects me to this strange URL which I have no clue about - feed://www.zolved.com/. The error message that I get is "Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.zolved.com/”. The error was: “unknown error” (CFURLErrorDomain:305) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Help menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

- Alert before closing multiple pages: When you click the red "x" in Safari3 (with multiple tabs open) the browser window closes. It doesn’t alert you that they are closing all the tabs abruptly in spite of me checking the tab in preference ‘Confirming when closing multiple pages’.

#5. In the preferences under "Advanced", check "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage"
Not sure about some of your other issues, other than to remind you it is a beta... use the debug button to report issues and you will see them resolved. - Posted by: phoenix32768_361 at 12 Jun 07:55 permalinkLet me see if I can either confirm these or offer some suggestions for how to fix them:
1 and 3: Yup, I noticed that too, and it's really annoying. Worse yet, if you have multiple monitors, maximizing the window can cause it to vanish completely. Apple needs to improve whatever code they're using for integration with the taskbar.
2: As previously mentioned, no Ctrl key needed. Just type "zolved" and hit enter.
4: I can't reproduce this. Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus resizes text just fine for me. Ctrl+Mousewheel doesn't, but I've never known about that behavior personally -- on what browsers does it do that?
5: I think you're talking here about switching between various tabs in a window, not tabbing through controls, right? If so, the hot keys you want are Ctrl+{ and Ctrl+} (they're in the Window menu). In practice, Ctrl+} means Ctrl+Shift+], though why they don't say that is anyone's guess. Oddly, on the Mac Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow works too as long as you don't have a text field focused; on Windows, it doesn't seem to. I have to admit, this complaint is falling close to "it sucks because it doesn't work the same way my old browser did" territory...
6: I can't reproduce this either. The "feed:" URL protocol is what Safari uses for RSS, but if I click the "RSS" button on zolved.com's main page, the URL I get is feed://www.zolved.com/feed/new, which works just fine.
7: Ouch! That's a big nasty bug. I'm going to report that one to Apple, and you should too if you haven't already. I'm surprised that made it past testing, beta or not. - Posted by: ctrlkatesc_5787 at 12 Jun 09:40 permalink7. in the tabs preferences, there's a check box that says "confirm before closing multiple pages"
and as everyone said, it's a beta
- Posted by: mefromadam_3218 at 22 Jun 20:40 permalinkit's a beta ... not unlike your website
- Posted by: emailme_2106 at 16 Apr 01:10 permalinkdon't forget that ugly gray bar on the top. it is a waste of space. by far firefox is the best. it help me manage my browser space. almost no space wasted.
people today is using wide-screen monitor. vertical space is something should not be wasted.
