Apple Releases Speedier Safari |
As Apple labors to keep pace with competitors in the smartphone, digital music and personal computer fields, the Cupertino, Calif.,-based company is unleashing an updated Web browser to stay in step with its rivals. On Tuesday, Apple made its updated Safari 3.1 browser available for Mac and Windows users. The updated browser loads Web pages 1.9 faster than Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2, Apple said. Safari also runs JavaScript up to six times faster than rival browsers and is the first browser to support new interactive Web programs.
