New version of Safari brings faster browsing

		February 28, 2009

	Apple releases Safari 4 in beta On Tuesday, Apple released the fourth iteration of its Safari browser. The new version brings with it several features popularized by Google's Chrome, including a start page of your most visited pages and bookmarks, as well as a shift in the way tabs are managed. Many of the biggest changes, however, are under the hood. For instance, it's now noticeably faster at handling Javascript, which should make Web apps like Gmail and Picnik faster. The new version also scores higher in an all-around benchmark test, the results of which can be found at this detailed blog post. Read more about Safari 4 Josh Lowensohn Associate Editor, Webware.com New on Webware.com 15 online photo editors compared Posted by Josh Lowensohn Tools that let you edit photos in the Web browser have come a long way in the last few years. We wanted to take a moment to do a feature comparison with a grouping of editors--big and small--to see what each one is capable of. We put 15 different services to the test.  Read more  Ginx does Twitter groups Posted by Rafe Needleman Ginx, the very good Web-based Twitter client we covered earlier this month, has added a very useful new feature: groups. You can now subscribe to curated groups of Twitter users, which is great if you want to make sure you see all the smart things said by people who are experts on a given topic.  Read more  Craigslist comes to Adobe's AIR Posted by Jessica Dolcourt CL Desktop is a new Adobe AIR application (for Windows, Mac, and Linux) that pulls Craigslist.com listings into a skinnable desktop wrapper. CL Desktop has some nice perks overall, with a couple more baubles than you'd find online, such as saved searches and the capability to bookmark listings for later viewing.  Read more  Facebook opens up to user debate and vote Posted by Rafe Needleman Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg held a press conference Thursday to discuss the uproar over the social network's failed attempt earlier this month to revise its privacy policy. But instead of simply releasing yet another terms-of-service document, he revealed a new, community-driven process for governing Facebook. The thrust of the new plan is that future changes in the Facebook agreements with users will be put up for open debate in a process of "notice and comment."  Read more  New Google toolbar for IE includes desktop search Posted by Josh Lowensohn Google on Tuesday released a new version if its software toolbar for Internet Explorer. Included is a feature carried over from the company's desktop-search product--a search box that runs whether or not you have your browser open. This special box sits next to the Start button on your taskbar, and lets you search the Web, your browser bookmarks, and any files and applications you have on your PC.  Read more  Gmail corner Gmail gets multiattachment uploading Posted by Josh Lowensohn Gmail users can now select multiple attachments and add them simultaneously to an e-mail message. The new system simply opens your operating system's file explorer, and supports the selection of multiple files at once. Best of all, it includes a status bar for each file as it uploads (just like Flickr's Flash uploader does) to lets you know how far along each file is.  Read more  Gmail Labs: The great and the small Posted by Don Reisinger If you're a Gmail addict, you probably know that Gmail Labs is home to a bunch of good and bad add-ons that either extend the mail client's capabilities, change how it works, or make it a bit more entertaining to use. In the long (and growing) list of Labs apps, there is something for almost everyone. So which ones should you use?  Read more    Related Newsletters Stay informed on the tech topics that matter to you most CNET offers a wide variety of newsletters on everything from tech industry news to the latest games and gear.
