![]() However, there are certain areas in which Shiira actually improves upon Safari. And since it’s fully Aqua-ized (unlike, say, Firefox, whose form widgets have a distinctly non-Mac look to them), it’s as pretty as any fully-fledged Mac app. But that shouldn’t be too surprising, seeing as how they both use Web Kit, Apple’s suite of tools for displaying web content. Perhaps too similar, based on some of the comments I’ve seen in discussion forums. The second thing you’ll notice, once you’ve installed Shiira, is that it’s very similar to Safari in terms of look and feel. (Note: Shiira is only available for OS X 10.3 Panther or higher.) ![]() In this day and age of bloatware, that’s a very encouraging sign. The first thing you’ll notice when you download Shiira is that the DMG file is under 2MB in size. Although Shiira is still in beta and has a few interface bugs and inconsistencies, it’s incredibly well-formed and has a great deal of promise. I’ve been using the latest version (as of this writing), 0.9.3, as my primary browser at home for the past week or so, and have been very impressed.
