Safari 1.0 Rushed?

Friday July 25, 2003 12:05 am PDT by Arnold Kim

MacUser.co.uk also reveals that Apple may have rushed Safari to a 1.0 released after Microsoft's announcement that Internet Explorer would no longer be developed for the Macintosh:

Even Apple insiders have admitted privately that Safari was too buggy for it to have been given a finished release status
