Anyone Else Trying Out Safari 4 Beta?
 

Going to take a little time getting used to, but I like it so far. Seems to render pages faster and I like the top sites feature.

Trying it out and so far I love it. Is there a way to lock in the top sites so they don't change when you open a new tab? It would be great if I can choose which sites to show up instead of just the last sites I visited. Coverflow history is cool.

NM, click on the thumb tack on edit and it locks in the sites.

yeah that seems to do it

Does the rendering pages faster have to do with each tab being sort of like its own process?

Im trying to get 1password to work, still no luck.

Safari is a cool browser too.

looks good

its not bad, still needs some familiar externsions before id ever stop using firefox as my default

to me, the appearance of safari is very nice

Just downloaded it, and installing right now. Gotta love a new toy to play with. Thanks Apple :thumbsup

I didn't try it but I started using Google Chrome and I love it, the only downside is that I can't use RoboForm with it

For what its worth.

Proving itself a staggering 42 times faster at rendering JavaScript than IE 7, our benchmarks confirm Apple's Safari 4 browser, released in beta today, is the fastest browser on the planet. In fact, it beat Google's Chrome, Firefox 3, Opera 9.6 and even Mozilla's developmental Minefield browser.

We used the SunSpider suite of JavaScript tests to determine which browser was the quickest, and the Safari 4 beat every browser in terms of speed, on both a PC running Windows XP SP2, and a Mac running OS X 10.5.6 with all updates applied.

Below are the actual figures if you want to see how all seven browsers scored against each other, but for quick reference we determined on a PC that Safari was a whopping 42 times faster than Internet Explorer 7, just over six times faster than Internet Explorer 8, 3.5 times faster than Firefox 3, and 1.2 times faster than Google Chrome. Here's Safari versus the rest, excluding IE 7:

Add IE 7's results to the PC graph and witness the shocking truth. These are results from a PC with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo:

1) Safari 4 (Total time: 910ms)
2) Mozilla Minefield 3.2a1 (1,136ms)
3) Google Chrome (1,177ms)
4) Firefox 3 (3,250ms)
5) Opera 9.6 (4,076ms)
6) Internet Explorer 8 (5,839ms)
7) Internet Explorer 7 (39,026ms)

The new beta od 1pass works with it or you can modify the plist file.

I'm absolutely loving it :)
