March 19, 2008 —  Apple released yesterday an update to what the company now calls “the world’s fastest Web browser for Mac and Windows” systems.

Safari 3.1 adds support for HTML 5’s tags for audio and video content, and also allows the use of two new extensions to Cascading Style Sheets: CSS Animations and CSS Web Fonts.

The new release also permits developers unlimited placement of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) objects on a page, and if they choose, they can also take advantage of the offline storage features in HTML 5.

The company claims that Safari 3.1 is the first browser to support CSS Animations and the new HTML tags, and says that its own testing shows Safari executing JavaScript up to six times faster than other browsers. It also brags that Safari loads Web pages almost twice as fast as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7, and beats Mozilla Firefox 2 in page loading as well.
