Latest Safari …

7.x, 8.x or prerelease 9.0?

Which version of the operating system? (It's not in your signature.)

I am using Safari (Yosemite 10.10.3).

I've been trying to switch over to Safari from Chrome for the past week now.

1. I have a ton of tabs on Chrome that I still need to read. (Yes I have a problem...)
2. The lack of favicons bother me on Safari.
3. For some reason, loading of websites feel slower. This might be because I don't have a cache built up in Safari (unless the cache is global?)

Sorry, was about to doze off. I'm on my iPad, I'll check browser version when I return.

10.10.4 fully updated.

Safari Version 8.0.7 (10600.7.12)

... to Safari ...

Which version of Safari? Which operating system? Knowing these things will allow us to link to existing topics that discuss the problems.

The latest possible (10.10.4 and Safari).

For Yosemite there's both Safari 8.x and prerelease Safari 9.0. I'll assume 8.x. Thanks.

I have multiple Macs, so this question becomes a bit complicated. Here is what I primarily use:

riMac: 10.10.3/Safari 8.0.6 (posting this from here)
rMBP: 10.11 beta/Safari 9.0
2008 MBA: 10.11 beta/Safari 9.0 or 10.6.8/Firefox 38.0.5
PPC Macs: 10.4.11/TenFourFox or 10.5.8/TenFourFox and Leopard Webkit
iPhone 5s: Safari iOS 8.1

For Yosemite there's both Safari 8.x and prerelease Safari 9.0.

Ah sorry I did not clarify. I meant by latest possible without having access to beta/dev releases. So yes, Safari 8.0.7

I'm enjoying Chrome Version 43.0.2357.130 it's quite fast, stable, and nearly perfect.

Safari does continue to improve, but the remaining annoyances keep me from promoting it to my primary browser.

Yep, that's the app that requires OS X 10.11 or later; not the only build of that version of the app.

There's an Italian article linked from https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21542540 above. Sorry for the obscurity – I don't read Italian, but there was enough English in the title for it to be found by a Google search for Safari 9 for OS X 10.9.

I am using Safari on the latest version of Yosemite, and I am very impressed with it. Less hanging and more speed since the update released. I was a heavy Chrome user before Yosemite and ever since I've been on Yosemite, Safari looks more gorgeous and performs better than Chrome for me.

What about you? What are you using as a browser?

None other than Safari (currently 8.0.7). I keep Chrome as an alternative but never really had the chance to use it.
