Safari for Windows & Bonjour

Postby Fulvio » Thu 21 Jun, 2007 3:11 pm

I am using Safari for Windows beta, and I am putting up with its several defects. However, a Bonjour request from my Firewall. comes up as I first turn on my computer. Safari is not set up to show Bonjour anywhere. What is the thing for? I may have installed it the first time I installed Safari, but I, at least, that I did an uninstall, followed by a clean install.
I can't find it in the Add/Remove. I will do some more searching, but I would like to know how to get rid of it, if I don't need it. Very interesting article. And, this one.
Except... that there is no Change in my Safari Add/Remove. I have had iTunes for years, and I was never asked about Bonjour. I don't know how much longer I can trust Safari.

There is a Bonjour folder in Program Files, but nothing in the Add/Remove, either under Safari or Bonjour. I filed a report with apple.com.

Bonjour should be transparent I believe.

Bonjour is Apple's zero-configuration for networking (including network printing).
