New Safari 3 Update, Available!

As most older readers already know, I am not what people usually call "Apple fanboy," but I must confess I love Safari. Nevertheless, Safari is still far from being perfect, no matter if we're talking about the Mac, Linux, or Windows version. The good news is that the latest Safari 3 update brings a feature missed by a lot of people, namely phishing protection, along with some other fixes and updates!

According to Apple, this last Safari 3 update comes with all previous security updates, as well as "protection from fraudulent phishing websites and better identification of online businesses."

If you want to update, simply use the Apple Software Update utility, or go grab the kits for the following operating systems: Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard [39MB], Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger [25.7MB], and Windows XP or Vista [19 MB].

I know it may seem strange that I mentioned "Safari on Linux" a bit earlier, so let me say only this: WinE. As far as I know, it is possible to run the Windows version of Safari on Linux using WinE pretty well, although I didn't try it for myself, yet. If you did such a thing, please let us know how it runs, that would be a great contribution to this article.

Considering that we're talking only about the new Safari 3 update, I think the time for an end has come. So far, Safari 3.2 has been running great on my Windows XP SP2, but reports from Windows Vista users would be also something great to hear. Thanks in advance, and enjoy your reloaded Safari 3!
