Apple’s latest version of its Safari web browser has accumulated a tally of 11 million downloads in its first 3 days, of which six million-plus have been installed on Windows machines.

Safari 4 has some new innovations, including Top Sites, which shows the user a collage of their favourite sites within one window, and Cover Flow, a UI (User Interface) feature brought in from iTunes that allows for flipping through site history or bookmarks like you would through album covers. For Windows users installing Safari 4, the web browser has a native look, so the title bar, borders and toolbars are consistent with the operating system’s look and feel, whether it is Vista or XP. It also allows for using Windows standard fonts, if you wish.

The best innovation in Safari 4 is the fact that, as Apple says, it is the fastest browser on the market – faster than Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. The new Nitro JavaScript engine executes JavaScript almost eight times faster than IE 8 and more than four times faster than Firefox 3, based on performance in leading industry benchmark tests iBench and SunSpider.
