WWDC: Safari 4 downloads top 11 million in three days

“Safari 4 is an incredible success on Mac and Windows with more than 11 million downloads in the first three days,” says Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Safari users love the incredible speed and innovative features like Top Sites, Full History Search and Cover Flow.”

In Mac OS X Snow Leopard, due in September, Safari will rus as a 64-bit application, purportedly boosting the performance of the Nitro JavaScript engine by up to 50 percent. Snow Leopard makes Safari more resistant to crashes by running plug-ins in a separate process, so even if a plug-in crashes, Safari continues to run and the user simply has to reload the affected page, according to Apple.


Safari 4 is available for both Mac OS X and Windows as a free download. Safari 4 for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002, a minimum 256MB of memory and is designed to run on any Intel-based Mac or a Mac with a PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor and built-in FireWire. Safari 4 for Windows requires Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, a minimum 256MB of memory and a system with at least a 500 MHz Intel Pentium processor.
