Version 4.0 of the browser developed by Apple Safari is now available in public beta. This new version opens many changes both on ergonomics that under the hood. Now, she joined the Nitro engine which, according to the editor, an implementation of Javascript 4.2 times faster than its predecessor with Safari 3.2.2. Also according to Apple, in comparison with its main competitors, the gain is 30 times higher than Internet Explorer 7 and 3 times more compared to Mozilla Firefox. Note also better management of web standards HTML and CSS 3 improving the interactivity of new generations of web applications. As for the Acid 3 test, Safari 4.0 beta gets hands above 100%, when Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 has a score of 71% Honorable!

In addition, note the removal of the tabs to the outside, likely influence of the browser Google Chrome. Qu'empruntée well, the idea is good, but the rendering is not really enjoyable. Finally, we will find with astonishment, a function similar to the "genius bar" in Mozilla Firefox. Named Smart Address Field, it displays suggestions for addresses based on the classification of the most visited pages and marks from your history.

Better integration windows this is not a luxury. As against the "smart address field" in my shit. It is well able to fill me an address if I type the beginning of the url for example, but not if I type a word that was in the title or content, unlike Firefox. This is unfortunate, this is a big plus of Firefox.
