This can be useful for reading a web page on a portable device, even if it doesn't have a web connection at a later point. The application includes an interesting feature called "Reading List" which can sync your saved web pages across all of your devices running a version of Safari - whether it be an iPhone, iPad or another system running OS X. You can change the appearance (default fonts and font smoothing), bookmark preferences, tabs, RSS feeds, autofill, security parameters and more. With that said, the program is fully customizable and provides access to a number of settings which can be geared towards your own liking. Unfortunately, many of the newer features available in the Mac version of Safari seem to be missing in this release.
In terms of features, users of OS X should feel at home with this Windows release but users of other browsers like Firefox or Google Chrome might feel a little lost mainly because it's obvious this web browser was designed for Apple's own operating system.
The Windows version seems rather obsolete and hasn't received an update in quite some time. Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organisation.Apple's Safari browser is the original Webkit-based browser for the Windows operating system.
