Apple today released a new version of there popular web browser, Safari with many many more features under the hood. Safari now renders pages 1.9 times faster then IE7 and runs Javascript a whoping 6 times faster then any other browser on the market. But what is of more interest to web designers and developers is the support of the next generation of web standards such as CSS3
What is CCS3?
Cascading Style Sheets level 3 is the next generation of style sheets which allow effects, animation and much more. Without going deep down into the CSS3, this allows designers and developers to integrate things we were once doing in Javascript into the CSS code itself, resulting in faster load times, and hardly any accessibility issues (into the future I might add)
The only issue with CSS3, is right now, its ONLY supported by Safari 3.1 and WebKit. Firefox 3 and IE8 will more then likely support all these standards when released later this year.
For the time been , its nice to see Safari so far ahead of the other browsers on the market, but at this point in time, with only >5% market share, is there any real need?... well at least us Mac users can have a better and faster browsing experience for the time bee.
