Apple kills Safari for Windows (apparently)

I quite liked Safari for Windows in its heyday and hoped it would become a very viable competitor to the big guns, but it seems Apple really didn't bother much about Windows other than iTunes and convenience for web developers. With WebKit now ubiquitous and the dominance of Chromium, I guess they didn't feel the need to continue development.

 

Safari is a futile effort. Even the people I know that run Macs use Firefox. There just isn't any demand for it.

 

who cares

 

Apple has a browser called safari?

 

I don't use any Apple software at all. The Windows versions of their software seem to be poorly coded. The Mac versions may be better, but I don't know or care as I don't have any need or desire to use Macs.

 

Well there's always Opera.

 

I think it lasted less than the IE for Mac.

 

That it did. Still, it was interesting at least in the beginning.

I hope Opera isn't going anywhere, it's been my primary browser for a while now but it's market share in desktop remains insignificant and it's losing on the mobile front as well (arguably of course).

 

Opera isn't terrible, I prefer it to Chrome. However, it looks almost exactly like Firefox, and lacks the add-ons. Given that, I can't bring myself to use it instead of Firefox. Most of the people I know feel the way I do about it. Nothing wrong with it, just no compelling reason to use it.
