Safari 4 beta

I was just curious as to what other opinions were about it. I put it on my old computer but have yet to install it on my new one. I loved the new features but didn't use it long enough to form a solid opinion. I will say this though, I like that when you download the file, it comes with a file that not only uninstalls the beta, but gives you your older version back exactly the way it was.

I've found quite a few sites that have CSS and other formatting issues with Safari 4. I keep it around for quick multi-browser checking, but Firefox is still my go to.; ▶ Reply to This

The incorporation of speed dialing like Opera and FF have , cover flow and some other little neat stuff makes it fun to use. The tabs at the top like Chrome has was a nice touch too. Well chrome and safari are based off of Web kit anyway so anything one has you can be sure the other will follow soon. I still do a lot with Firefox a little more but give Safari some more improvements and I could see myself using it a little bit more then FF; ▶ Reply to This
