Any Windows/PC users here tried the new Safari for Windows v3.1 web browser? I have a few questions.

[Up2Late]

First, Is there a way to adjust the Mouse Wheel settings? Safari seems to be overriding my mouse wheel setting and has made it one click=one space, rather than one click=3 spaces

Second, What is Bonjour? (It's an option in the "Advanced menu")

Other than that, I haven't found any other problems yet, but this is literally the first time I've used it here or anywhere.

1. I don't know about the mouse settings, but ...

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.

2. Oh, O.K. then I guess I should ask, Is that a good thing?

And if so, why is it off by default?:shrug:

3. Help find HTTP servers, print servers on your network, etc ...

if you are using it at work and have a lot of network servers, it'll connect to them.

Home use, not so big a deal.

4. Oh, O.K... I guess I'm still wondering if that could open up a safety issue on PC?

Also, I have a small wired LAN here at home that I've had trouble with the printer sometimes working and sometimes not, could it help with that situation?

Anyway, it does seem to work really well with websites that have a lot of Flash on them, but I did just crash it while trying to use a Java remote webcam in San Diego.

5. Not in your situation ...

this would be if you had a separate machine that was for printing.

Odd that it would crash with a Java app, but that's the way the browser closes.

8. I see. Btw, I just found another website it works poorly with.

I was trying it out with Ancestry.com and it's not displaying the pages correctly.

I'm guessing that it has to do with the setting for Font sizes. In the Appearance setting box it has New Time Roman 16 as "Standard Font," isn't that rather large? Or I wonder if it's the "Font Smoothing" setting?

6. Why have it on until you need it?

[Up2Late]

7. That's what I'm trying to figure out, what it is and should I use it.

I'm now guessing I don't need to use it, but that is one of my questions that I'm trying to figure out.

9. It allows you to wirelessly connect to other computers.

[Up2Late]

10. That what I figured it might be.

So I guess I don't need it on, huh?

11. Naw. It's still nice to know it is there if needed.

Safari is nice on the Mac. I guess it still needs a bit of real world use to take down the bugs. Be sure to send crash reports.
