Apple Launches Safari 4: Worlds Fastest Javascript Rendering

Its super quick… much faster than Firefox for Google Apps and seems faster than Chrome in my non-scientific side-by-side tests.

How the Google Chrome Logo was created

“Safari 4 is built on the world’s most advanced browser technologies including the new Nitro JavaScript engine that executes JavaScript up to 30 times faster than IE 7 and more than three times faster than Firefox 3. Safari quickly loads HTML web pages three times faster than IE 7 and almost three times faster than Firefox 3. (All testing conducted on an iMac® 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system running Windows Vista, with 2GB of RAM. JavaScript benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript Performance test. HTML benchmark based on VeriTest’s iBench Version 5.0 using default settings. )”
