Apple Announces Release of Safari 5 with Extensions - But Where Is It?

[ovrlrd]

Fine for me on the latest Adium beta.

Yeah I disabled a plugin I had and the latest beta works fine now. Oh well.

So what's next?

scrolling hangs at MR homepage

Have you tried to scroll over the youtube video on the homepage? On my uMBP, it hangs when using the trackpad. Same thing happens on youtube.

Ewww.

Been using it for the last 10 minutes on an iMac 2008.

Slower than Chrome, noticeably.

Faster to load tho.

Reader fails on a few pages, as noted previously in comments.

Lack of extensions, still, = NO DEAL.

Sorry, but Chrome:Mac has got this thing beaten by miles. And if you're going to complain about it being 3% faster in JS execution, can it because Opera beats both by wide margins.

When Chrome can scroll a web page without lagging behind my cursor, I'll consider it a viable alternative.

just got it. It feels a tad slower than Safari 4? But the 'reader' is excellent!

Well, give it time for extensions to appear.

Chrome is good, but there is no PPC version, and it puts its close buttons on the right.

Any Glims users updated yet? Glad to hear that ClicktoFlash is OK.

Runs smoothly on PowerPC

On 10.5.8 it's smooth with my PowerBook.

WebKit2 is built-in and a lot more work will be going into it.

Lack of extensions? They're coming because this browser supports them.

Glims appears unaffected.

Is there anything I can click to start a new tab, like in Firefox, or do I need to Command-T it? I only see that horrid multi-view Top Sites thing on the top left corner.

 

[Mr. Retrofire]

Much faster!

Feels snappier !!

100 percent true!

sudo srm -rszv /Applications/Safari.app/

...works much faster on Safari 5.

Middle mouse scrolling always hangs on embedded flash objects. They are in a separate fixed-size view that has no scrolling.

HTML5 videos don't have this inherent problem.

There is a PPC version, of course...somebody around here owes me a cookie.

 

[Watabou]

I've just noticed the speed on Safari 5 and its slow for me. It started faster but both firefox and chrome were faster loading pages. Just the post reply thing on this thread took safari 5 seconds while firefox instantly brought it up.

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

sudo srm -rszv /Applications/Safari.app/

...works much faster on Safari 5.

What does that do?

EDIT: nevermind, a simple

 man srm

answered my question.

Probably in Soviet Russia.

lol. Family Guy ftw.

The + button at the end of the Tab bar?...

Glims works.

 

[sheepopo39]

I see nothing on Extensions on my copy of Safari 5, not even in the preferences.

Glims works great.

enable developer menu and then in the drop down enable extensions

 

[pooryou]

The update seems to also have messed up my internet, just tried on another computer and my ipad and it's just as slow

Not just yours, the entire internet is down right now. Stupid Apple.

In private browsing mode you now get a notice in the address bar. I think that's new.
