Apple Safari 5 debuts: 30% faster & new Reader mode

SafariLogoNow here’s a surprise. After filling the WWDC 2010 keynote with naught but iPhone 4 goodness, Apple has slipped out Safari 5, the latest version of their desktop browser. Packing a claimed 30-percent performance boost over Safari 4, the new version is also apparently three percent faster than Chrome 5.0 and over twice as fast as Firefox 3.6. Of course, it’s still a free download, and is available both for Mac and Windows machines.

There’s no shortage of HTML5 goodness, either, just as we’ve heard in rumors leading up to the new browser’s release. Apple have squeezed in HTML5 Geolocation, HTML5 sectioning elements, HTML5 draggable attribute, HTML5 forms validation, HTML5 Ruby, HTML5 AJAX History, EventSource and WebSocket, together with a new, free Safari Developer Program. That uses standard web technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to create new extensions, and there’s a dedicated Extension Builder in which each runs, sandboxed and with a signed digital Apple signature.

Most interesting to end users, perhaps, is the new Safari Reader mode which, at the tap of a button, slices out any extraneous information on the page and leaves just the core text. Safari 5 will be available for download atapple.com/safari
