Apple has launched a new browser, so far, so Chrome.

Tabs at top, a 'Top Sites/Speed Dial' page and is the only browser that can complete the acid3 test, really though its just chrome with some more bells and whistles.

Well done you, noticing Chrome and Safari share the same rendering engine. Are you driving at something or just feeling the need to bitch at something that isn't IE?

Can you turn off the font blurring in this version?

Sounds like Opera 10 to me

Its off by default and uses 'Windows Standard'

Its not just that you prat, its the fact that the tabs are at the top of the window in the title bar rather than under all the usual toolbars a-la firefox.

Also I prefer to bitch about IE, it's still really behind in the browser world.

Finally.

Chrome copied Opera 10's speed dial, except you couldn't set sites for each box, it just pulled your recent and most frequent pages into a speed dial like interface.
Safari 4 goes one more and allows you to expand it and shrink it.
It also has a 3d sort of look to it, and you can pin frequent sites to it.

Still can't just fill slots with pages though. it just, like chrome, does it automatically.

So it's not doing any form of font blurring at all?

Huh, just about to ask you to modify your tone you cow but any bitch about IE is fine by me.

No, if you've got clear type it uses that.

Sigh. Right. If I have all of that shite turned off in Windows, will Safari be as clean and clear of all that font blurring as any other Windows program or will it still render text in a manner that makes it less clear?

Actually you know, I don't care. I'm happy with Google Chrome.

I'd stick with Google Chrome, works a lot better than the Windows port of Safari does. I'm still not accustomed after all these years to non anti-aliased lettering, looks weedy and makes my eyes work to decipher what those pixels mean.

One day, marksi, you'll relent to cleartype. It really is better
