The next version of Apple’s web browser has hit the open waters. The company announced the final version of Safari 4 will be available for download Monday afternoon for Mac OS X and Windows from Apple’s website. The browser will also ship with Snow Leopard, the next version of Apple’s Mac OS X desktop operating system, due in September.

The emphasis with this release is raw speed. Safari 4 features an updated page rendering engine and a revamped JavaScript engine that improves the performance of the latest web apps and supports the newest web standards.

Browsing history searches have been enhanced with a new feature that lets you flip through previously viewed web pages in Cover Flow mode — you can view your browser history in the same way you view album cover art in iTunes. Spotlight search has been integrated into the browser, too, so you can search the text within recently-viewed web pages using the system-wide search tool borrowed from Mac OS X.

Safari 4 also includes a crash protection mechanism that keeps the browser running, even if a plug-in like Flash player crashes.

This latest version of Safari has been in beta since February. We first took a look at it when the developer preview made its debut a year ago. The final release announcement came, along with a demo of the new features, at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco on Monday. (See Gadget Lab’s live blog coverage of the WWDC keynote)

Aside from the highly visual search and Cover Flow features, which were trotted out during WWDC keynote address to oohs and aahs, the focus of the Safari 4 demo was on the browser’s performance.

Apple says Safari 4 is around three times faster than both Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8. We haven’t seen any independent benchmarks just yet, but if Apple’s data holds up, those are some enticing claims. Apple uses the WebKit rendering engine, the same open-source code that’s also used by Google Chrome.

The use of WebKit means that Safari users aren’t just getting more speed. They’re also getting support for the latest web standards like HTML 5 and CSS 3. These are the technologies upon which the latest wave of rich web apps are being built, so we’re seeing huge momentum in the adoption of these emerging standards among most modern browsers. Internet Explorer is still way behind the curve here, but Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari are all pushing HTML 5 into the mainstream.

Even though it shares most of its guts with Chrome, Safari uses its own JavaScript engine called Nitro (Google’s JavaScript engine is called V8) that Apple claims is a full eight times faster than IE8’s JavaScript engine.

Also according to Apple’s claims, Safari 4 passes the Acid3 test, which shows how well a browser supports the latest emerging standards, with a perfect score of 100/100. Internet Explorer 8 currently only scores 24/100. Firefox 3 scores in the low 70s.

The new crash protection feature in Safari was certainly added in response to the proliferation of rich web apps. say you’re running a full-window Flash application in one of your browser tabs, and that app hangs or crashes. Safari 4 isolates that tab and handles it without taking the rest of your open tabs down along with it. The same behavior happens if you’re doing something much simpler, like watching a Flash video and it crashes. Google Chrome also has a similar feature.

Safari 4 will available as a free download for both Mac OS X (versions 10.5 and 10.4) and Windows (XP or Vista) platforms on Apple’s website Monday afternoon.

How do you say “Operation Pinwale” in Farsi?

According to a somewhat confusing Wall Street Journal story, Iran has adopted NSA-like techniques and installed equipment on its national telecommunication network last year that allows it to spy on the online activities and correspondence — including the content of e-mail and VoIP phone calls — of its internet users.

Nokia Siemens Networks, a joint venture between Germany’s Siemens and Finland’s Nokia, installed the monitoring equipment late last year in Iran’s government-controlled telecom network, Telecommunication Infrastructure Co., but authorities only recently engaged its full capabilities in response to recent protests that have broken out in the country over its presidential election.
