Again, the web pages of thumbnails displayed in attractive 3D. What looks like a high-tech center director quickly turns out to be a practical starting center for their own favorite sites. But only works well on fast computers with fast DSL line. Even the appearance of tabs (tab) has been revised and now visually reminiscent of Google Chrome.Safari 4 is available for Apple Mac, Windows PC and iPhone and iPod Touch.
