Private Browsing is incredibly useful when you are using a Mac shared by multiple people.
Internet browsers for mac os tiger archive#
I haven't found much use for the archive function, although a similar function enabled by the Firefox ScrapBook plugin helped me make some multitasking tests for our dual core reviews earlier this month.Īnother interesting feature of Safari is the ability to enable Private Browsing, where no pages are added to the history, your Google searches aren't remembered, downloaded files are immediately removed from the download manager and information isn't saved for AutoFill.
The archive functionality doesn't go deeper into the site that you're visiting - it only saves the current page, not anything to which it links. The end result is just what you'd expect - a completely local copy of the web page that still opens in Safari. You can archive by going to save a web page as you normally would, but change the file format to Web Archive (.webarchive extension). Safari RSS also adds the ability to "archive" web pages that is, download and store locally all of the content of a single web page. The only problem I have with it is that if a site offers more than one RSS feed, there's no way of accessing any but the first RSS feed listed in the site's code (Firefox will let you subscribe to any of multiple RSS feeds off of a single site without any problems). I haven't really caught the RSS bug just yet, but Safari's implementation is quite nice. Safari's integrated RSS reader is easy to read, well laid out, and works well within the Safari interface. With Tiger, Apple ships an updated version of Safari called Safari RSS.Īs its name implies, Safari RSS now allows you to read RSS feeds directly within the browser. In my first encounter with a Mac, I ragged on Safari for being a major disappointment under OS X the browser looked great and was very user friendly, but it was sluggish and had a handful of annoying incompatibilities.
