Safari 3 Beta for Windows XP : Issues

Currently, there are numerous issues related to Safari 3 for windows.



Issues:
1. I am not able to change Proxy Settings for safari seperately. It seems to ask for proxy authentication by default settings(i guess from lan settings, internet explorer)
2. When I try to access websites which ask for authentication through Prompt, it asks for proxy authentication and crashes after several attempts because it neither accepts proxy login nor the website's login. Some strange problem.
3. It doesnt seem to store proxy authentication. Prompts everytime I start the browser.
4. Gmail doest load. Asks for login and all, but the mailbox doesnt load. Even, this problem seems to have corrected by itself. But the chat browser is not visible :)
5. I am posting this entry in blogger on Safari 3 browser and there is no rich text editor. (nor the html/compose tabs). Now, this problem seems to have solved by itself. Now the New Post composer seems just fine :)!
6. Fonts issues refer Amit Agarwal for more details. I havent faced any problem regarding fonts as yet.

If I am able to figure out these many issues within half an hour of installation, there's something seriously wrong with this broswer :P. Truly BETA

Plus point is: browsing DOES actually SEEM faster ;)

Virgo,

The product is unstable as of now.

Amit's problem is a one-off thing.

Do you know that you can convert your firefox to safari?

Cheers!
