Dannik Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Safari Beta. For those who aren't familiar, Safari is to the Apple Macintosh operating system as Microsoft Internet Explorer is to Windows systems. Well, Apple has decided to bring it's blazingly fast browser to XP/Vista. Note that this is a beta application, and may have some stability issues.

firefly2442 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Apparently there are a bunch of buffer overflow vulnerabilities and other security issues with Safari. Obviously it's still in beta.... http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/12/0120230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 It is still beta, and rightfully so. The critical buffer issues, most of them have been discovered by people/groups who have chosen not to report them as bugs, despite the default button for doing so. Great that the issues are being caught, but seriously, if you are a security advisor group, report the bugs. Not doing so after discovery is arrogant and pointless.

Stalker_Zero Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 For a beta its very cool so far. Although, the feature of being able to drag a tab into its on seperate window doesn't seem to be working for me. Has anybody tried that feature out?
