Microsoft Offering Alternative Browsers to Windows 7 Users
Now this is something really very surprising! Microsoft is offering other “alternative” web browsers to its users in Europe.

Install Greasemonkey Scripts in Mac OS X
Just a few days ago, I wrote how you can use Greasemonkey scripts on Google Chrome using a third party small tool. In the same way, I’ve found a small app to run Greasemonkey scripts on Safari in Mac OS X.

Safari 4 Released for Windows and Mac
As I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, today at WWDC 2009, iPhone 3GS wasn’t the only thing announced by Apple there. Several other announcements were also made like iPhone OS 3.0, the all new Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro etc.
Apart from these, a small presentation was also put up announcing the availability of the final version of Safari 4 for Windows and Mac.
Apple Safari 4 Beta Released
Apple has released today the next version of their popular browser, Safari 4, for Windows and Mac. One thing that it claims to be is the world’s fastest browser, and I think it is! It’s amazingly fast with improved navigation and searching.
Safari 4 is still in Beta stage, but it can load HTML pages up to 3 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3. And can execute Javascript 30 times faster than IE7 and 3 times faster than Firefox 3. It also features the new “Nitro” engine that runs JavaScript 4.2 times faster than Safari 3.
