Apple are showcasing some of the features of the forthcoming version of their Safari web browser – Safari RSS. Safari RSS will read RSS feeds straight into the browser, obviating the need for a second Internet app, it will automaticall notify you if you land on a site with an RSS feed, and it will display it properly (it can read RSS0.9, 1, 2 and Atom).

I’m not sure yet when Apple are going to release this version of Safari – if they wait until the release of Tiger in 2005, then this functionality will already be in most browsers. If they do it now, they have a chance to regain market share – I know I use Firefox on the Mac as my browser of choice (it notifies you if the browser window you are going to close has more than one tab open! – a simple but critical feature).
