Speedy Web Browsing with Safari
Safari browser is Apple's own speedy browser that is now available for both Mac and PC users. I use Safari most of the time with my Mac computers and, in addition to its speed, Safari has features not found in other browsers. One thing I love about Safari is its integration with other Apple applications, like Mail and Automator. Another great feature of Safari is its excellent built-in RSS reader that lets you sort feeds, search through feeds and save your searches, and automatically or manually update feeds.

Safari Tutorial - Viewing PDF Files
A special feature of Apple's Safari browser is the ability to open PDF files directly in Safari. When you click the link for a PDF file, Safari will open the file in the same window. Note that opening a PDF file may take time, so be patient while Safari opens the file.
Safari 3 for Mac OS X 10.5 adds a new control bar for PDF files but it is only visible when you move your mouse to the bottom of the Safari window. [read more...]

Safari Browser on Wikipedia
Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. First released as a public beta on January 7, 2003 on the company's Mac OS X operating system, it became Apple's default browser beginning with Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther". Apple has also made Safari the native browser for the iPhone OS. A version of Saf...
Special Features of Mac OS X Web Browsers
Copyright 2008, Claire J Rottenberg
If you are like me, you probably have a favorite web browser that you use all or most of the time, but there are many good web browsers for Mac OS X that are worth trying. In preparation for this article, I rediscovered two browsers (Flock and Opera) that are now part of my collection of startup applications. They haven't completely replaced my favorite, Safari, but they offer alternatives for special functions. In this article, I describe some of the unique features of four web browsers for Mac OS X - Safari, Flock, Opera, and SeaMonkey. I'm not including Firefox because the latest version is in beta (version 3.1b1) and some of Firefox's past benefits are lacking in the beta version. Also, unlike the other web browsers included in this article, Firefox does not have any special features that are not available in any of the other browsers.

Other Web Browsers for Mac OS X
Firefox
Firefox is the popular Mozilla browser that is available for several platforms, including Mac OS X. The current stable version of Firefox is 3.0, but for those of you, like me, who enjoy testing out beta products, there is a 3.1 beta version. [learn more...]Flock
For social networking addicts, Flock is the perfect browser. It lets you easily log in to many social networking sites, add blog posts to most major blogging platforms and upload photos with one click to many album sharing sites. [learn more...]Opera
Opera has many special features and the one I like best is the integrated email application. It lets you access any email account from within Opera and you can add RSS feeds to your email sidebar for easy reading of new feed items. [learn more...]OmniWeb
OmniWeb is a web browser made specifically for the Mac operating system. Unlike most web browsers, however, the full version of OmniWeb is not free. [learn more...]Read a review on OmniWeb from Mac expert Joe Kissell and MacWorld magazine:
