It was announced this week at WWDC that Safari 4 is out of beta and ready for the masses. Soon after, Appletell was able to get a first look up about the performance of Safari 4. Now, Apple is stating that there have been more than 11 million downloads of Safari 4 in the first three days since its release. More than half of these (6 million) have been for Windows, which is quite interesting, if you ask me.
New features in this release include Top Sites, Cover Flow of your history, and Developer Tools. Also, according to Apple, “Safari executes JavaScript nearly 8 times faster than Internet Explorer 8 and more than 4 times faster than Firefox 3 based on performance in leading industry benchmark tests: iBench and SunSpider.” The browser war between Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari was tough as it is, and this update just made it even more competitive.
You can get the new version of Safari at Apple’s website.
