Portable Safari

I am Win XP user. I tried Safari browser. It's amazingly good. But there is a catch. It's not portable at all. No matter what I do it still stores cookies and history in the application data on the system partition.

Hope there will be portable edition of Safari in near future. If you can make it so it stores all the cookies and history inside Safari folder while running from USB stick or portable hard drive I'll switch to Safari and it'll become my default browser. No doubt about it.

That's the only change I would like to see in Safari. It would be really great. I hope it can be implemented.

A couple of software manufacturers have already done this. I hope you can do it too. It will make your browser much more popular.

Athlon, Windows XP Pro

Well I bring good and bad news.. May I please be forgiven for anything the site admin does not wish to be here..

1. If you want Portable Safari ( yes still in its beta state..) Then try the most commonly used IT, and information term used in forums today.. " GOOGLE IT "... All due respect.. For both Windows and Mac.

2. The reason that you do not see the Portable Safari flag waving everywhere is the fact that part of the program is Open Source.. ( part of it is not )and I believe it is the GUI which is not.. Reason for this is simple. Protection of the rights to the program so that the Development of the browser and the browser itself, is kept by its rightful owner/s which is Apple.. If not you would see probbly hundreds of by product browsers... Once this version of Safari is complete and no longer in the development state and in a state of stable release, you may then see something frm Apple along these lines.. much like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and several others...

Probably speaking ahead of turn as it were.. But it would make complete since.. My entire system along with all of its programs has been made portable.. I can perform any operation on any system...I personally know exactly where you are coming from on this one though.. Portability is a must for some.. I completely agree with you..
