Safari 4 Beta

[Sputnik]

I like the new Safari 4 Beta!

It's just gosh, with top sites and cover flow favorites!

Meh, who even uses coverflow?
It's quite snappy though

 

[koffiejunkie]

Does it finally have parity with Webkit?

 

[malec]

Ok I have to say, after actually trying the coverflow history I have to admit it's flippen brilliant!

I really like the topsites page... super handy. peel-a-page feature is awesome... is there a way to add a "stop" button to the task bar?

 

[VertigoZA]

nevermind its on the right now for some reason??

Yep, I actually like coverflow for a change

Awsome. In the top sites can you scoll left or right or only make the icons bigger or smaller to get more sites. I like the big icons but have about 12 sites.

Apparently the install wipes Safari 3. If you have any problems, it is, apparently, possible to run them side-by-side:

Growl + Mail

Please note that there is a bug with safari 4 + mail.app and growl.

Mail crashes when growl is installed

I like it, but I miss the progress bar that used to be part of the URL window.
They also need to make the styling more consistent. Add bookmark gets a button, but reload doesn't? Reload, stop loading and busy loading share the same space... not so cool, especially since busy loading is also visible on inactive tabs. Why not just keep it in the same place in active tabs?
How come the only search choice is still google?

To put tabs back where they belong IMHO

From terminal.app

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool FALSE

I like it pretty speedy.

No refresh though?

I like it, but I miss the progress bar that used to be part of the URL window.

In terminal.app

defaults write com.apple.safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool FALSE

then

defaults write com.apple.safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool FALSE

I like it a lot, the Vista version is very attractive. But I just find every other browser sort of falls out of disuse after a few days of trying it because I just default back to Firefox.
