I am speechless! I do not use IE at all as I find it as something that gives invitation to hackers and viruses. Firefox and Chrome are the way to go on netbooks as-well-as notebooks.

Safari 4 – Must have for Netbook owners

Apple today released Safari 4 web-browser which brings along numerous advancements over the Safari 3. Apple Safari 4 comes with a Nitro Javascript Engine.

Safari 4 introduces the Nitro JavaScript engine, an advanced bytecode JavaScript engine that makes web browsing even faster. In fact, Safari 4 executes JavaScript up to 6 times faster than Internet Explorer 8 and up to 4 times faster than Firefox 3.1.

So, I gave Safari 4 a go on my EEE 1000HE and I must say that I am impressed by Apple’s effort. It does render pages very fast, if not faster than Firefox. I recommend it for every netbook owner out there.
