One of the big things with Safari 3, now available on Windows as well as we’ve reported previously, is that it should work better with Google Apps. Apple and Google are lovers nowadays and the former makes money from the search box delivered by the latter.
Yes, that is the way to make money on free browsers. Did you think they did it for the fun of it?
I’ve been running Safari 3 for over a week now and I’m satisfied. It’s a lot faster than Firefox on Mac, but it does have its issues. Like the WordPress editor, as reported, and Gmail. Yes, Gmail – while the visual editor now works as intended it often hangs when sending, forcing you to stop the transfer and resend. Then it usually works. Most other Google Apps seems to work though, but there may be more issues.
Does Safari 3 work for you? Also, does anyone besides Mac folk actually run it?

Congratulations to the good folks over at WordPress.com on them reaching over 1 million blogs! I tried to keep an eye on it but this was as close as I could get…
Expect a formal announcement from Matt & Co. later on.
In other WordPress.com news, they have added domain mapping for e-mail using Google Apps. That means that if you connect your e-mail to your WordPress.com blog they can give you access via Google Apps, as in Gmail for your domain. Nice.
