Apple Safari 5 - 31MB
Experience the web, Apple Style, with Safari - the fastest, easiest to use web browser in the world.
Safari - It’s a browser. It’s a platform. It’s an open invitation to innovate. Whether on a Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPod touch, Safari continuously redefines the browser, providing the most enjoyable way to experience the Internet. With its simple, elegant interface, Safari gets out of your way and lets you enjoy the web. It renders web pages at lightning speed. It works on the iPhone, iPod touch, Mac and PC. It shows you your favorite sites at a glance. And it’s so smart, it even checks your spelling and grammar. Meet Safari 5, the world’s most innovative browser. Safari is designed to emphasize the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. By default, there’s no status bar. Instead, a progress gear turns as your page loads. And if you so choose, you can hide almost the entire interface, removing virtually every distraction from the browser window. The first browser to deliver the “real” internet to a mobile device, Safari renders pages on iPhone and iPod touch just as you see them on your computer. But this is more than just a scaled down mobile-version of the original. It takes advantage of the technologies built into these multi-touch devices. The page shifts and reformats to fill the window when you turn it on its side. You zoom in just by pinching and extending your fingers. Of course, no matter how you access it, Safari is always blazing fast and easy-to-use. Before Safari, browsers were an afterthought. Something you put up with if you wanted to surf the internet. One browser looked and felt just like another, so you chose the one that worked the best and crashed the least. They were ugly, cluttered affairs, whose interfaces competed for your attention and made browsing — the very purpose for which they were created — more difficult. Safari changes all that.
New features in Safari 5:
1. Improved Web Inspector:
- A good web inspector is extremely important to most web developers. Many people still prefer Firebug, which is an extension for Firefox, but the Webkit inspector has improved dramatically in the last few years.
- In Safari 5, the web inspector has an improved CSS inspector panel, which lets you jump directly to a rule definition in the source file.
- The DOM inspector is much improved, now allowing you to add attributes to DOM nodes in your document, remove nodes, and edit nodes as HTML, which lets you edit the entire tag as if it was a source file.
- The Resources panel is also improved, letting you see all HTTP redirects, along with full header information, including the HTTP status code.
- The JavaScript inspector now lets you disable all breakpoints with a single click, and if you hover over an element while on a breakpoint, you can see the actual object values of what you are hovering over. This will be extremely useful for debugging purposes!

- Safari 5 now has a new Timeline Panel, which provides information about everything that the browser is doing while you browse. This includes loading data, parsing it, laying it out on screen, and rendering it. Very cool for working on the performance of your website or application.
- Another added panel is the Audits panel, which much like the popular YSlow and Google Page Speed extensions for Firebug, suggests ways for you to improve the performance and compatibility of your site.
Console
- The last change to the Web Inspector is that a separate panel for the JavaScript console has been created. This is nice because it allows the console to take up the entire height of the Web Inspector rather that the small part that it used to. It is still available in the old location, however, for convienent access while looking at another panel. For more information about the updates to the Web Inspector, check out this post on the Webkit blog.
