I use Chrome on the PC, but safari 4 on the mac. I can't get over how un-mac chrome is on the mac.
Pretty sure the file could be on Apple's servers already... someone type random numbers into the Safari 4 download link and see if you can get Safari 5's link.
Don't think that will happen - the Safari 4 download link is a freaking nightmare.
My guess is last minute bug discovered, possibly security related.
Very pleased to see extensions in there after the latest rumours suggested that wasn't the case.
And I'd just second the earlier comments, I try all of them, but Safari is still my favourite.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you'll be switching from RAM heavy firefox to equally RAM heavy safari.
Browsing the modern web just seems to eat up a lot of RAM.
The problem with these are they're not fully integrated with the browser. Plus there isn't a single site you can go to where you can find all of these add ons and extensions for Safari. In that regard, despite of how "un-chrome" Chrome is on the mac, it's still better than Safari because of how there is a go-to site with add ons and extensions. Same with Firefox. You just don't have to deal with finding addons on some weird websites and then uninstalling through some weird methods. It's just much easier to do that in Chrome/Firefox which is why I don't use Safari.
But this new news is welcome. I know Apple will most likely fix all of these problems just like how google and mozilla did. I just find all these unofficial extensions sketchy at best.
Any coinciding between Safari updates and updates to Safari in iPhone OS? I'm curious if Safari in iOS 4 stands to gain any speed.
Sorry that just makes me laugh that they even mention it...
It's funny because even though Google use Webkit they do their own V8 Javascript engine, which they like to think shows off their engineering prowess. Except every time Google release a faster version of the V8, Apple trumps the performance with their Nitro engine.
I just got this from push notifications posted by MacDailyNews.. I knew MR would not be too far behind. Just tried to do the update, but still unavailable. Cannot wait!
Maybe, maybe not. If it does break Glims you can be sure that the developer will have an update out soon as the new Safari will support it even better. No haxies required.
If Safari 5 has an option to put the tabs up top like the first beta of Safari 4 I will definitely move to Safari from Opera. I doubt this will happen though. I'm willing to give it a try though and if I find it launches significantly faster than Opera and I find the reader useful I'll switch.
I want 10.6.4 because VALVe has said the graphics drivers will have large improvements over 10.6.3
Safari 4 is stored in http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari4/, which returns Forbidden. If you change it to Safari5, you also get Forbidden. If you pick a random directory name, you get a 404. The Safari5 directory exists!
Does it really matter?
2Gb ram - no problem
4Gb ram - no problem
6Gb ram - no problem
I'm missing where RAM is an issue in todays world?
Wow, big day
It'd be nice to not have to reload pages in mobile safari. Pretty sure that's a RAM issue

Oh how long? It just started now. Session will last like.. an hour and 30 minutes max. During this frame, Safari 5 will pop up.
And then Opera trumps all of them with Carakan. Seriosuly, its vastly faster than Nitro or V8.
