California - Apple said on Thursday that users have downloaded more than 1 million copies of the Windows version of its Safari internet browser in the first 48 hours it was available.
The computer and consumer electronics company launched the web browser on Monday, setting off another layer of competition with its archrival, Microsoft.
Safari had about 5% of the market share for internet browsers with more than 18m users when it was previously available only for Macintosh computers, according to Apple.
To grab more than 1m downloads so quickly is notable given how there are already at least two popular browsers in use on the Windows platform, namely Microsoft's predominant Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox.
Several researchers wasted no time in pointing out security vulnerabilities they found in the Windows version of Safari, and Apple issued an update to the browser on Thursday to fix those bugs.
