Safari on Lion

It's definitely better.

I assume this is a move to using discrete processes for different functions? Safari was always nice and fast compared to other browsers until it started to lag behind once Chrome came out with its separate process tabs, though I kept using Safari anyway.

When Safari is running now, what exactly are the processes and what does each do? The features page only mentions one for web content and one for GUI, is that it, or are there separate ones for individual tabs, plug-ins etc.?

Two-finger swipe to go back / forward has sold me. The way the page slides across is the way all browsers should work. Love it!

I've gotten really used to using that. I miss it when using the iPad.

How does one disable the automatic restore of pages when you launch safari so freaking annoying

I think it's only possible to disable that systemwide. At least until someone discovers a terminal command.

For now you could swap the keyboard shortcut for:

Quit Safari to Cmd-Opt-Q
Quit and Discard Windows to Cmd-Q

in System Preferences.

Probably won't cause any problems.

Anyone else got the same Safari issue as I have.

When browsing through pages (which is much faster in this GM) if I use my magic mouse to swipe back to a previous page - the page seems to lock and doesn't allow any clicks on links what so ever. I can open a new tab or a new window and it works fine, but that page still won't work. Irritating.

Flash needs to be updated for Lion, that is the only thing that slows down Safari.

There's a Flash beta for Lion. Runs as good/bad for me as it always has.

You can set the default download location for a file, or you can right-click and choose "Download linked file as…", what more do you need?
