Safari 6 makes its way onto OS X Lion with offline reading

OS X Mountain Lion has been released today, although we’re sure that there are many OS X Lion users who might be thinking that an upgrade is not necessary at this point. Either way if you’re still running on OS X Lion but you want some of the perks that was announced at WWDC for OS X Mountain Lion, Apple has released Safari 6 for OS X Lion users, bringing a plethora of features in the update such as offline reading. According to Apple, these are some of the features and changes made in Safari 6 that they can expect:

• Smart Search Field. Safari now has one field for typing both searches and web addresses.
• Offline Reading List. Safari saves entire webpages in your Reading List so you can catch up on your reading even when you don’t have an Internet connection.
• Do Not Track. Safari can send the websites you visit a request not to track you online.
• Password pane. Manage your saved website logins with the new Password pane.
• Baidu. The leading Chinese search engine Baidu is now a built-in option for Chinese users.
• Make the swipe to navigate gesture work with PDFs.
• Restore the state of Reading List when Safari is launched.
• Fix an issue that affected full screen video in webpages that have positioned content.
• Restore the user’s previous cookies after Private Browsing without requiring a Safari relaunch.

Safari 6 is available as a download by running the Software Update tool.
