You may remember a couple months ago there was some contention whether Safari or Firefox had the fastest JavaScript performance. Apple had claimed Safari 3 was the fastest when compared to Firefox 2, though improvements in Firefox 3 betas had narrowed or eliminated that gap. Zimbra, a company that makes a web-based collaboration suite, has now performed some new benchmarks that show Safari on top. Zimra's results, based on testing using its own tools, shows Safari 3.1 with a clear lead over Firefox 3.0.

Titoxd writes "Apple has released a new version of Safari that fixes the carpet bomb vulnerability in Safari 3.1 for Windows. This comes in the heels of Microsoft recommending against using Safari in Windows, as well as the release of code exploiting this vulnerability."

Apple's Safari 3.1.1 Web browser is outperforming the new Firefox 3 browser when it comes to JavaScript rendering, and both clearly beat Microsoft's Internet Explorer. According to tests performed by Zimbra, the version of Safari 4 that's available to developers performs even faster, and there's still room for Apple to experiment and improve even more.

SecureThroughObscure writes "Just a short time after Apple's recent acknowledgment of and patch for the Safari Carpet Bomb 'blended' IE flaw, Microsoft researcher Billy Rios shows that Safari is still useful in a blended attack, this time with Firefox 2/3. (ZDNet's Nate McFeters also spread the word.) Rios claimed that he is able to use Carpet Bomb, despite the recent patch, to steal arbitrary files from victims who also have Firefox 2/3 installed. Both Rios and McFeters pointed out that Apple, which took some heat for not originally patching, actually did a good job of addressing the issue, as the code execution angle was not originally understood (the details came out later). Rios is withholding details of the new attack vector until Apple has had time to patch or respond to this issue.

Years ago when good old Safari turned into Safari RSS, I eased into the habit of finding stuff on the web through RSS feeds rather than by visiting the front page of sites "manually." Unfortunately, Safari's RSS implementation is very slow, especially with some "enhanced" feeds. So, a couple of months ago, I switched to Google Reader. I'm not generally a fan of cloud computing, but in this case it makes sense: you don't need to have the feeds locally if you can't go online and visit the linked articles anyway. Google also has an iPhone-optimized version of its RSS aggregator. This version works extremely well for perusing feeds and marking posts as read or star them for later reading, but actually reading articles through Google Reader mobile is quite painful.

Developers are already receiving a seeding of Apple's Safari 4 web browser, according to reports. The build is listed as 5526.11.2, and represents an early version of the same browser intended to ship with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The software is expected to make a variety of enhancements, namely a 53 percent speed boost for JavaScript, which should help smooth out the performance of Web 2.0 sites and related applications. It is believed that this will be accomplished using WebKit's SquirrelFish rendering engine.

Starting with Tiger, Safari has been able to display RSS feeds, which many blogs, news sites, and other online publications use to distribute information on an article-by-article basis. But frankly, Safari was never a great RSS reader; it does the job, but not with the wealth of features or flexible interface of stand-alone RSS readers such as the free NetNewsWire. With Leopard, Apple has tried a different approach: putting RSS support in Mail.
