Safari 4 Leaves Beta, Calls Itself "World's Fastest Browser"

[Dark Knight]

Windows/Mac OS X: Apple's Safari 4 web browser left beta today, boasting itself as "the world's fastest web browser."

Not much has changed from Safari 4 since we took you on a hands on look at Safari 4 beta—except for the fact that Safari 4 has hopefully lost the significant "crashy" aspect—which Apple has claimed is the case.

As for their claim of browser speed domination, it seems like we hear the same song and dance every time someone updates their browser these days; it didn't dominate on speed when we ran our browser speed tests on Safari 4 beta, but we'll hit you back with an updated speed analysis ASAP. If you've been putting Safari 4 through the paces during the beta—or you were just really quick to grab this download—let's hear what you think of it in the comments.

I have read a review - it scores 100% in the Acid3 test, but doesn't break the 1000ms barrier in SunSpider's JavaScript benchmark. May be faster under Mac, though, specially on x64.
