The Safari Reader is an enormous evolutionary step in web browser development: reading, printing, forwarding gets a major update. Back side for publishers: clickpath analysis becomes harder, actionable elements or online advertising must be positioned above the fold on longer pages and (text-)linked within the content.

TC: “Speaking of Chrome and Firefox, while Safari 5 will bring a 30% performance increase over Safari 4, Apple is also saying that the new version is 3% faster than the latest stable build of Chrome (5.0) and twice as fast as Firefox 3.6. All of this is based on SunSpider JavaScript tests of Apple’s latest Nitro engine. – Safari is also adding a new feature called ‘Reader’ which will make it easier to read webpages by taking away all the excess design (and ads).”
RWW: “When Safari Reader detects an article, an icon appears in the address field. Click it and it will display the whole article on one clean page, presumably without links, sidebars or dancing banditos. Think print-ready page. There are options to enlarge, print or send via email.”
MW: “The new Safari Reader feature seems akin to Web-based services like Readability, giving you the option of viewing a Web page in a slimmed-down, scrollable view that eliminates many of the distracting elements. Safari 5 can detect both single and multipage articles and allows you to toggle the Reader mode to display the article, print it, or share it via e-mail.”
TNW: “The other notable inclusion is Safari Reader ‘making it easy to read single and multipage articles on the web by presenting them in a new, scrollable view without any additional content or clutter.’”

I like the idea of Safari Reader. I am curious if it will be able to compete with my combination of Google Reader, NetNewsWire and InstaPaper …
The increase of speed is even more thrilling. I am eager to find out if it is really faster than Chrome.
Gerrit: What is your experience so far?
Gerrit Eicker 10:47 on 8. June 2010 Permalink |
I love it. Safari 5 is slightly faster but the best part of it is the Safari Reader: it makes reading long articles super easy even on badly layouted pages (includes those with multiple pages per article). This is a huge (r)evolution!

The Safari Reader integrates bravely with my news reading habits: NWW (besides others) defines the “what”. Safari Reader becomes the new “read now” tool of choice. Instapaper stays for “read later”.

In a disciplined world, there should never be a read now, should there?
Gerrit Eicker 12:25 on 9. June 2010 Permalink |
I’m pretty curious. ;)

In that case, you should rather be disciplined, as long as you consider reading web news “working”. If its “leisure time”, no one cares if you use it efficiently.

Of course I am: following defined news (reader/ing) time slots. ;)
