Apple Releases Safari 5 for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Windows, Adds Extensions

PR: This week Apple released version 5 of its Safari web browser for Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and later, OS and Windows. As anticipated by many of us who still use older Macs running OS X 10.4, there is no Tiger version of Safari 5, but as a consolation Apple has concurrently released Safari 4.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 (more below).

Safari 5

New Safari 5 features include Safari Reader for reading articles on the Web without distraction, a claimed 30% performance increase over Safari 4 (based on testing conducted by Apple last month on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac system with 4 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.6.3), and the ability to choose Google, Yahoo!, or Bing as the search service powering Safari's search field. Safari 5 also includes improved developer tools and supports more than a dozen new HTML5 technologies that will appeal to web developers, who can now create secure Safari Extensions to customize and enhance browsing experience.

Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, Phil Schiller, notes that "Safari now runs on over 200 million devices worldwide, and its open source WebKit engine runs on over 500 million devices."

Safari Reader makes it easy to read single and multipage articles on the Web by presenting them in a scrollable view without additional content or clutter. When Safari 5 detects an article, users can click on the Reader icon in the Smart Address Field to display the entire article, with options to enlarge, print, or send via email.

Safari 5's new Nitro JavaScript engine, on the Mac version is claimed by Apple to run JavaScript 30 percent faster than Safari 4, three percent faster than Chrome 5.0, and over twice as fast as Firefox 3.6 (JavaScript benchmark based on the SunSpider 0.9.1 JavaScript Performance test), to load new web pages faster using Domain Name System (DNS) prefetching, and include improved caching of previously viewed pages to return to them more quickly.

This new version of Safari adds more than a dozen powerful HTML5 features including full screen playback and closed captions for HTML5 video, Geolocation, HTML5 sectioning elements, HTML5 draggable attribute, HTML5 forms validation, HTML5 Ruby, HTML5 AJAX History, EventSource and WebSocket.

A new, free Safari Developer Program allows developers to customize and enhance Safari 5 with extensions based on standard web technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. The Extension Builder, new in Safari 5, simplifies the development, installation and packaging of extensions. For enhanced security and stability, Safari Extensions are sandboxed, signed with a digital certificate from Apple and run solely in the browser.

New In Safari 5:

• Safari Reader: Click on the new Reader icon to view articles on the web in a single, clutter-free page.
• Improved Performance: Safari 5 executes JavaScript up to 25% faster than Safari 4.
• Better page caching and DNS prefetching speed up browsing.
• Bing Search Option: New Bing search option for Safari's Search Field, in addition to Google and Yahoo!.
• Improved HTML5 support: Safari supports over a dozen new HTML5 features, including Geolocation, full screen for HTML5 video, closed captions for HTML5 video, new sectioning elements (article, aside, footer, header, hgroup, nav and section), HTML5 AJAX History, EventSource, WebSocket, HTML5 draggable attribute, HTML5 forms validation, and HTML5 Ruby.
• Safari Developer Tools: A new Timeline Panel in the Web Inspector shows how Safari interacts with a website and identifies areas for optimization. New keyboard shortcuts make it faster to switch between panels.
• Smarter Address Field: The Smart Address Field can now match text against the titles of web pages in History and Bookmarks, as well as any part of their URL.
• Tabs Setting: Automatically open new web pages in tabs instead of in separate windows.
• Hardware Acceleration for Windows: Use the power of the computer's graphics processor to smoothly display media and effects on PC as well as Mac.
• Search History with Date: A new date indicator in Full History Search shows when web pages were viewed.
• Top Sites/History Button: Switch easily between Top Sites and Full History Search with a new button that appears at the top of each view.
• Private Browsing Icon: A "Private" icon appears in the Smart Address Field when Private Browsing is on. Click on the icon to turn off Private Browsing.
• DNS Prefetching: Safari looks up the addresses of links on web pages and can load those pages faster.
• Improved Page Caching: Safari can add additional types of web pages to the cache so they load quickly.
• XSS Auditor: Safari can filter potentially malicious scripts used in cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
• Improved JavaScript Support: Safari allows web applications that use JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) to run faster and more securely.

Safari 5 is available now for both Mac OS X and Windows as a free download.

Safari 5 Top Sites

System requirements for Safari 5 for Mac OS X are Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 (PPC and Intel ) or Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 or later. Safari 5 for Windows requires Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, a minimum 256 MB of memory, and a system with at least a 500 MHz Intel Pentium processor.

Safari Reader: Apple's Weapon of Mass Destruction

Blogger Jim Lynch says

"Steve Jobs gave his usual keynote address at WWDC today. The iPhone took center stage, as expected. But there was another announcement that web publishers should take note of and should dread: Safari 5.

"The release of Safari 5 does not bode well for web publishers. Specifically, the inclusion of a feature called Safari Reader may ultimately prove financially devastating for many web publishers....

"Apple has essentially destroyed the web publishing model completely with the release of Safari 5. This is the equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb on the entire web economy. It's a weapon of potential mass destruction for web publishers....

"We all know that Apple is an arrogant company. They've proven it many times in the past. And I say this as someone that owns an iPad, iPhone, iMac, etc. I'm not an Apple basher. But this really takes the cake...."

Safari 5's Reader Ad-blocker Could Save the Media

The Guardian's Peter Robins says that while Safari 5, whose "Reader" feature it removes "visual distractions" from web articles at the click of a button, looks like bad news for ad-supported websites, if we're very, very lucky, it might not turn out that way, proposing what he calls the "Absurdly Optimistic Scenario", noting that Reader is differentiated from other ad-blocking software in that it must be manually invoked for each individual article rather than being a default ad-blocking routine, leaving whether to block or not block to user discretion on a page-by-page basis.

First Look: Safari 5's Extensions

Macworld's Marco Tabini says that few new browser features are more prominent than the arrival of an extensions system, and with a Safari 5 extension system in place, developers are in position to augment the functionality provided by the browser itself, letting users add to Safari all sorts of capabilities that had previously been the domain of hacks and workarounds.

What Safari 5 Extensions Mean to Mac Users

Mac 360's Jeffrey Mincey says:

"Apple's Safari 5 for Mac and Windows is here. It's familiar, lean, clean, and fast. Oh, and it's ready for extensions. What are extensions? Why should Safari users care?

"Software developers can create Apple blessed and approved extensions think of them as add on utilities that perform any number of functions that run in a secure sandbox....

"One year from now the extensions for Safari are likely to number in the hundreds."

A First Overview and Roundup of Safari Extensions

MacStories' Federico Viticci says:

"One of the most important features of Safari 5 is support for extensions: it's what Safari users had been wanting for a very long time, and it's a big deal. It's a big deal for users who want to customize their browser the way they want, it's a huge deal for developers who may start to charge for full-featured extensions in the future. Just think about Twitter clients or RSS apps living inside the browser.

"Safari 5 has been available for 12 hours now, and some developers have already released their first extensions. Obviously these extensions are far from being complete and full-featured , but still it's worth taking a look at them, as they re giving us a glimpse at what devs might offer in a few weeks...."

Macintosh 'Kicked to the Curb'?

Newsweek says:

"Dear Macintosh,

"I hate to tell you this, but my guess is you've probably been sensing it already. I don't know any good way to say it so let me just be blunt: You've been dropped. Dumped. It's over....

"The future of Apple is no longer centered around the Macintosh. You Mac guys just got kicked to the curb, relegated to the steaming dung heap of the past...."

What Does the Mac's Absence at WWDC Mean?

IT Management's Andy Patrizio says:

"The forgotten child at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference this year was the . . . Macintosh computer. CEO Steve Jobs was on stage for an hour and a half . . . and didn't mention the Mac once....

"Apple shed the 'Computer' portion of its name in 2007 . . . [b]ut the Mac remained an important part of Apple's family. . . . Yet when the schedule for WWDC was announced in April . . . Apple had dropped the Mac software category from its AppleDesign Awards.

"One Mac developer wrote to Steve Jobs to complain. . . . Jobs responded: 'We are focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on iPhone OS this year. Maybe next year we will focus primarily on the Mac. Just the normal cycle of things. No hidden meaning here.'

"It's not that the Mac has suddenly become irrelevant. Indeed, it's doing better than ever.

"The research firm iSuppli recently noted that Mac enjoyed 32.4 percent year-over-year growth in the first quarter of 2010 with 2.94 million units sold, a faster growth rate than the 22.6 percent rate for the overall PC industry.

"So can Jobs be taken at his word? Analysts think so."

Apple Disses the Desktop Again During WWDC Keynote

PC World's Jeff Bertolucci says:

"What did the Mac do to deserve this? Lately it seems as if Apple management is giving its Macintosh platform short shrift, instead favoring its younger, sexier mobile devices, also known as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

"The latest affront occurred Monday during Steve Jobs' Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote . . . he failed to mention that Apple was also launching Safari 5, the latest version of the company's Web browser that comes with every Mac....

"Feel the burn, Mac developers. . . . Apple is a 'mobile devices company.' Jobs' team has made it perfectly clear in shareholder and analyst meetings. . . . While that strategy may include the MacBook laptop, the Mac desktop is definitely the odd device out. . . . Does the Mac have a future?"

Will iOS Devices Eventually Replace the Mac?

Technologizer's Harry McCracken quotes Steve Jobs commenting at the Wall Street Journal's D8 conference last week:

"When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks, because that's what you needed & PCs are going to be like trucks. They're still going to be around. They're still going to have a lot of value. But they're going to be used by one out of x people & this transformation is going to make some people uneasy."

McCracken also cites Mr. Jobs telling a developer, "Maybe next year we will focus primarily on the Mac. Just the normal cycle of things. No hidden meaning here."

Nevertheless, McCracken observes that while traditional portable and desktop computers remain a huge and growing business for Apple and iOS-based machines aren't poised to render the Mac irrelevant any time soon, he doesn't find it hard to envision a future in which Apple no longer sells Macs while remaining at least as successful as Apple circa 2010, with Jobs already talking about the PC era in the past tense, predicting PCs will be outnumbered by new-wave devices, ands getting ready for the post-Mac era.

Top 8 Mac Browsers Compared

Mac 360's Bambi Brannan notes that everyone likes a shootout between the best of the best, so it's time to line up all the Mac browsers that matter and see which one can score the most points, and reporting that 98% of all visitors to Mac 360 use just nine browsers, from which she's discarded Microsoft's Internet Explorer, leaving eight Mac-supporting browsers: Apple's Safari; Google's Chrome; Mozilla's Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Camino; Opera; Flock; and iCab.

Ms. Brennan's browser-preference evaluations don't match your editor's, but it's an interesting comparison, that would have been even more interesting if some of the very worthy niche Mac OS browsers like Stainless, Shiira, OmniWeb, Cruz, and Sunrise had been included as well.

Editor's note: The browser shootout took place before Apple released Safari 5. dk

Google Launches New Caffeine Search Index

PR: Google has announced the completion of a new Web indexing system called Caffeine, which it says provides 50% fresher results for searches than the preceding Google index, offering the largest collection of Web content the search engine has ever offered, according to a blog post by Software Engineer Carrie Grimes.

News stories, blogs, or forum posts - Grimes says you can now find links to relevant content much sooner after it is published than was ever possible before.

When you search Google, you're not searching the live Web, but rather Google's index of the Web which, like the list in the back of a book, helps you pinpoint exactly the information you need

Grimes says a new search indexing system was necessary, because content on the Web is blossoming - growing not just in size and numbers but with the advent of video, images, news, and real-time updates, the average webpage is richer and more complex. In addition, people's expectations for search are higher than they used to be. Searchers want to find the latest relevant content and publishers expect to be found the instant they publish.

To keep up with the evolution of the Web and to meet rising user expectations, Google built Caffeine. The image below illustrates how the old Google indexing system worked compared to Caffeine:

Grimes notes that Google's old index had several layers, some of which were refreshed at a faster rate than others; the main layer would update every couple of weeks. To refresh a layer of the old index, they would analyze the entire Web, which meant there was a significant delay between when they found a page and made it available to users.

Caffeine, by contrast, analyzes the Web in small portions and update's the search index on a continuous basis, globally. As it finds new pages or new information on existing pages, they can be updated directly to the index, meaning you can find fresher information than ever before no matter when or where it was published.

Caffeine lets Google index web pages on an enormous scale. Every second Caffeine is processing hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel. If this were a pile of paper, it would grow three miles taller every second. Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database and adds new information at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes per day. You would need 625,000 of the largest iPods to store that much information; if these were stacked end-to-end, they would go for more than 40 miles.

Ms. Grimes says they've built Caffeine with the future in mind, not only fresher, but on a robust foundation that makes it possible for Google to build an even faster and comprehensive search engine that scales with the growth of information online, and delivers even more relevant search results to you.
