Apple Safari is a Web browser that is developed by Apple for its Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. It is now available for Windows operating system and iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices. Safari was first released in 2003. Both iPad Touch and iPhone has an adapted version of Safari preloaded.

Safari is based upon Apple's WebKit engine, which is accountable for some of the excellent features like displaying graphics, rendering fonts, determining page layouts and to run JavaScript and many more. WebKit engine is an application framework that is based upon two open source frameworks called WebCore and JavascriptCore.

Safari is designed to bring you a beautiful browsing experience. It offers a tabbed interface that provides single view for multiple web pages in the same window and to save desktop space. Also, these tabs can be easily rearranged using drag and drop or open a new tab option by double-clicking the tab bar.
