Safari is going out stronger now and faster, too. The development version is called WebKit and some observers are giving some warnings to Firefox about the popularity of this browser after this development version is through.

Several techies and net wiz such Computerworld have tested this development version of Safari and they are amazed at the speed that it is showing. In using a web browser, of course, the faster the better since you don’t want to wait forever before the browser opens the site you’re after. But sometimes, forever is but a couple of seconds of “page loading” display on the screen.

What it lacks in features in comparison to Firefox are the numerous add-ons and plugins available for Firefox. People who want to add all sorts of things to their browsers might simply choose Firefox over Safari. We had better watch out for any developments in the current version of WebKit. If there’s anything worth hearing about, we will let you know.

The current version is bound to have a lot of bugs for now but if you want to give it a go and check out some bugs yourself, then go on and download it from Apple’s website.
