New Safari 3.2 Feature: Secure Website Identification
Here’s a quick tip that slipped through the blogosphere (at least none of the Mac blogs I subscribe to featured it): in Safari 3.2, released last week, Apple’s added a feature from Firefox 3’s “awesome bar”: when you’re on a secure website, such as a bank’s, that has identification information, it’s displayed in green (though in Safari it’s at the top-right of the title bar). A screenshot:
Safari 3.2 adds secure website information to the title bar.
Along with a phishing filter, it looks like Safari is stepping up to the plate as a secure browser.
