RIP Safari for Windows and older Macs

Apple has finally shipped Safari 6 with the the new Mountain Lion, but has silently removed Safari for Windows and users of previous versions of Mac OS will get limited new features of the new browser, the reason behind this is that in order to take full advantage of new web browser, you'll need to be latest OS.

As announced back in June, Safari 6 on Mountain Lion incorporates some ideas taken from Google Chrome. One big Mountain-Lion-only addition is a feature called iCloud Tabs, which lets Apple users with iCloud sync their tabs across Macs and iPhones, iPads, and iPods running iOS 6. Another cool feature is “Tab View,” which makes it easy to quickly look through all your open tabs. The new browser also includes built-in sharing to Facebook and Twitter. 

While most of Safari 6′s new features are for Mountain Lion users only, users on Lion, can still take advantage of the new omnibar that combines the address bar and unified search made famous by Google Chrome, Do Not Track support, and a new password storing option. Important bug fixes, HTML5 web notifications, Improved JavaScript support with multicore-enabled version of Apple's Nitro JavaScript engine, Redesigned Web Inspector, hardware acceleration, CSS rendering and new Webkit engine. 

While features like the new multi-touch enabled Tab View feature allows users to pinch to view all of their open tabs and swipe to scroll between them, the Share button, which makes it easy to post URLs via email, Facebook, or Twitter, and the iCloud Tabs, which sync a user's most recently viewed pages between Macs and iOS devices. will require Mac OS X Lion.



While Lion users can download Safari 6, not all of the browser's features will work on the OS, and users of earlier versions of Mac OS X can't get the update at all.


More surprising, Apple's Safari website no longer includes a download link for Windows.   Apple may have stopped developing it entirely.The older version is still available as a direct download, and it does have it’s own support page, but Apple has stopped trying to get anyone to download it. The download link isn’t visible on Apple’s website, either, and that’s why the current working theory is that Apple hasn’t simply delayed releasing the new version.

Lion users can get the new browser now via Software Update. While users upgrading to Mountain Lion will get Safari 6 by default.

Windows users, on the other hand, might start looking around for alternatives. Google Chrome, Firefox or Opera are actually better on Windows compared to Safari.

Decrapify / Debloat Windows 10 with a Powershell Script

Windows 10 is a decent OS from Microsoft after the disaster known as Windows 8 and 8.1. Although Windows is still better with no Modern UI crap, no ads, minimal telemetry, no Edge to bug you. But Windows 10 is a decent compromise if you want a stable OS with modern features like DirectX 12. Earlier OEMs used to bundle PCs and Laptops with crapware, with Windows 10, now Microsoft themselves bundle crapware. Welcome to Software as a Service (SaaS) model. On top of that we have OEM crapware on top of Microsoft crapware. As a result trying to Debloat or DeCrapify Windows 10 is getting absurd and as a system admin it is disheartening to see all that performance go to waste on the messed up attempt by Microsoft to do an Appstore and its apps. Fortunately a kind soul who goes by name  Sycne x has worked painstakingly to provide us a simple solution that works considerably well. Let's Begin To download the script visit  here , and click Clone or Download and Click Download as Zip.
