Your opinion about Safari 5?

Late last night came 5th version Safari. About it on Apple did not tell the report. RumorsWhich appeared on the eve of the WWDC, confirmed: in the browser claims to support expansions and improved HTML5 standard support.

what good

The most interesting novelty - a new web browsing mode, Safari Reader. When the page is fully loaded, Reader button will appear in the address bar. Clicking on it, the user will receive an article, "cleansed" from the advertising banners, teasers, announcements and other materials, and even comments. In general, read again become easier ;-)

In other browsers, this functionality can be achieved by using the bookmarklet Readability.

Online versions of newspapers, seeking to increase the number of views and thus advertising revenue, often break up a single article into multiple pages. Safari Reader loads the page when scrolling. In my opinion, it is very convenient. above Readability so do not know how.

To appreciate the convenience of the new browser chips, read the article about hackers or about, e.g. multitasking harm for people.

Web developers

Apple has improved support for HTML5 standard. Web developers can use the new page layout elements (article, aside, audio, etc.). Added support for geolocation (determining the user's location).

In addition, developers have accelerated processing engine javascript function and implemented DNS pre-fetching (DNS prefetching). The latter possibility is present in Google Chrome from the beginning.

And the expansion?

To enable support for extensions should be in Safari settings window go to the Advanced tab, put there daw Show Develop menu in menubar, and then in the menu bar, click Develop → Enable Extensions.

True extensions yet. Their gallery will open later "this summer."

That will be a supplement for Safari? This mini-applications written in JavaScript, CSS and HTML5. In the official collection will only be approved, signed by a digital certificate addons. Will I be able to install unsigned extensions? It's not clear yet.

***

Overall, the fifth version of Safari has turned out to be surprisingly good. I made the default browser (used to be a Chrome). And you've had time to try Safari 5? How impressions?
