Fastest Browser? New Release, 1.4

[mac57]

I just recently noticed that the fastest browser I am aware of for Macs, Sunrise, has a new release, 1.4. I am typing this entry from it!

See: http://sunrisebrowser.com/en

to get your copy. It still seems as fast as the originals, still features the same innovative "graphical bookmarks" and still has the same compact minimalist design. I like it!

downloaded it, thanks mac57

Have downloaded it too and find it faster too. But how do i transfer my Safari fave over to it?

I'll have to get to downloading this. For me, Safari is working great. But there is always room for improvement. Thanks for sharing.

Tried it once before and had some problems - will download it and try again with this new version. Thanks!

I would have jumped all over this if it had the gecko engine.

Actually, it says the Safari rendering engine is used, which I view as a strong point. It seems like almost everything else out there is based on Gecko. Different is good... as long as it works. In this case it seems to.

I always get excited the moment a new browser comes out... and then in a few days end up back on Firefox, which I have been using since the 0.3 Firebird release.

Does Sunrise offer Adblocking and selective pop-up blocking (i.e. you can choose which sites to block and what to ignore).

Nothing, and I mean nothing, comes remotely close to Firefox in having these abilities.

I don't care for the way safari/webkit/whatever renders pages. It's not vanilla enough. It injects Apple's Aqua into all forms. My feelings are that anything inside of the viewport should be the designer/developer's responsibility - and not changed by the viewer in any way. If a site has flat or sunken looking elements, Aqua form elements mixed in can really ruin the page.
There are other bugs with it as well. Which is a PITA when programming, having yet another browser's quarks to think about.

So... that's my anti safari campaign haha =)

Hey Zoolook, I really don't know the answers. I tend to agree with you on Firefox, which I have been using almost exclusively since it came out, with a brief digression to Safari for about 3/4 of a year when I first got my Mac. However, somewhere along the way, a system or Safari upgrade caused it to start crashing and I moved back to my old standby, Firefox. However, I keep my eyes open for new browsers and faster browsers, hence this thread.

I'll have to check into Sunrise and see if it has selective popup blocking. I am guessing that ad blocking won't be there.
