Aqua-Soft ForumsHi guys. I want to ask you about safari browser for windows. I've seen many versions of Safari clones but none of them were as functional as Real Safari. So I want to know: is anyone working on new clone or thomething? thx anyway
What about realy good Safari clone?
Probably not. The chances of someone making an internet browers are probably 436756757654654643652345867349567546153651667734345368978 to one.
Mozilla Firefox is the best out there.
(They aren't "Safari Clones", they are just browers that aren't IE)
It's very easy to make browser witch will use IE settings for example, but its hard to make Tabs like safari has. Thats it. I see no problem with making browser.
I'm didn't say that Fire Fox is worst. I wasn't even talking about it.
(This is an Aplle Fans Forum an my question is about it too.. so your suggestion is wrong)
I see nobody is interested 
btw there were rumors that apple would port safari to windows but I don't believe it 
^^Not a chance. The point of porting iTunes was to expand the audience the iTMS could meet and therefore, make Apple more money. What benefit does porting Safari have, especiallly since they would have to battle Firefox as well?
@ gershvin What apps have you tried that 'emulate' it? And are you trying to emulate it because of the interface or because there's a specific feature in there you can't live without?

What? I said mozilla is the best. Thats all.
Every "Safari clone" you've seen is firefox. It's what 90% of the people on this forum use.
If you think it's so easy to make a browser, then do it.
So, either use firefox (or opera), get a mac, or don't request it.
This kind of thread is a drop in the ocean.
maybe not "every" safari clone.. remember the old aqua app savanna? which can still be found with heavy googling.. though it isn't really the best "browser" per se.. it just looks pretty for the most part.
2 Safari clones here, neither as good as firefox though -

@ gershvin What apps have you tried that 'emulate' it? And are you trying to emulate it because of the interface or because there's a specific feature in there you can't live without?
I tried Savana, Safari beta 1, iSafari & Compas 2.0 public beta. I'm tying to emulate it beacuase of both reasons (interface, spec. features) safari is very fast(faster then firefox) and is one of most proffesional browsers ever made.(this are not my words and not apple guys)
In that case use Opera. It's very fast(faster than firefox) and one of the most professional browsers ever made. (And finally free!!) I don't think anyone's ever made a Safari theme for Opera but the default glow-like theme isn't bad once you get used to it.
I don't need Opera, I allready have it. I need Safari. thx anyway
So finally, work on gershvin, and make a Safari usable with Windows.. Just work with original and try to .. a kind of conversion to windows, or made a sort of clone with some of best part of Firefox and Safari. You know.. ''It's very easy to make browser ..''
For my part, i'm fine with Firefox.. The best for the moment with Windows
In that case use Opera. It's very fast(faster than firefox) and one of the most professional browsers ever made. (And finally free!!) I don't think anyone's ever made a Safari theme for Opera but the default glow-like theme isn't bad once you get used to it.
Well, take a look at this:

Some of them are pretty close to safari.
But all of them are great OSX style skins.
In any case, if you do build a safari clone off the IE engine, it will be worse than the FF clones anyway. Coding a completely new browser is a very difficult task, usually taking a team of coders/designers a year or so to complete. Then add in having to make it preform like Safari, and that is a real challange.
Still, if you think that you can do it...
I don't need Opera, I allready have it. I need Safari. thx anyway
Then buy a mac.
You'd better change your attitude pretty quick if you ever want people to help you.

Hehe i'm not sure of how you take that.. Not sure of your attitude too, but the end of my post (It's very easy to make browser ..) is from you.. Its just for fun man.
And.. A shareware lol, why like near all other are free.
I give you just a suggest, for work on a clone, and if some other here are interested and ready, perhaps he help you, you know.
So please, like m8 sean.fletcher said, change your attitude a little..
He have many talent here, and all give help for free
And yes, welcome to AS
lol we'll see.. I promice I'll make a safari clone... SHAREWARE!
YOU want to make money with stealing APPLE'S ideas?
Good luck. Hope you have a good legal expenses insurance
ok I'll let you know when I'll start. About my attitude: you know what? nothing.. i don't have time 4 POLEMIC. I want to thank everyone who likes my idea and shares it(no one). It will be great if someone help's me withs this.
Now about shareware: it'sa joke I HATE SHAREWARE PROGRAMMING. VIVAT FREEWARE GUYS!
MY ENGLISH SUCKS!
/me rolls his eyes
sounds like another "my new forum is going to the best aqua forum" or the "i have permission from apple to port iphoto to windows" or the other countless half assed dropped programs made by people to emulate apple software..
you say you dont want opera, firefox, or ie- but you want "SAFARI" built on IE? first off.. that wouldn't be safari! secondly, if you want safari so bad because of whatever reason have. GET A MAC!
15 posts and not even a member of the board for a month, and you come up with all of this..
sheesh.. some people..
Oh Kiss My Ass And Go **** Your Self! A Have 15 Posts And So What You Punk? It Doesn't Mean Anything! I Don't Need Your Or Apples Permition for Porting Safari Browser. Itsa Hack Biatch! Mother****er
Topic closed, member banned for 7 days.
You need to sit back and calm down. I'm giving you a chance - after a week you can come back and try again.
People here need _real_ Safari clone but it's not the way to start working on it.
@shockme17: you need to change your attitude too. Your post was pure nonsense and useless in this matter. Next time think twice and try to write something that's actually useful for others.
