Posted by samzenpus on from the new-and-improved dept.

pknoll writes "Apple has released the fifth version of the Safari web browser, which adds several new features. Reader mode detects multiple-page articles and displays them in their entirety at the click of a button, and most importantly, there is now an official extension API."

    Yes, but will it block porn? I wouldn't want my Apple(TM) experience ruined.

      Opera is the best porn browser.

      I dunno, that singing fat lady kind of turns me off.

      Safari 5 javascript performance may be 2.5% faster than Chrome 5

      But Opera is faster than a potato!

    Just like Opera! I think that I'll stick with Firefox and Chrome.

    You can only view pages that have been pre-approved by Apple - and Apple gets 30% cut of anything revenue generated by the page.

    As an added bonus, any media gets re-routed to iTunes - where Apple will take their 30% cut and wrap it in a container that prevents you from mistakenly trying to use it on a non-Apple device.

    But this is all just to protect you and preserve the user experience (patent pending), of course.

    No, that's what happens when you suffer from feature creep.

    I've been using Safari 5 since this morning, and I can tell you, this is a magical and revolutionary browser. Unlike anything ever made before. It's absolutely magical. This will change everything.

    From the first moment you touch the browser you will know it's special.
