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

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.

Complete bullocks! I run Safari 4.05 on a G5 iMac with just 1GB RAM, and everything runs smoothly. RAM heavy, my foot!

comparing it to chrome is kinda silly anyways. chrome is a webkit browser, reality is safari and chrome are just shells, UI's providing a frontend and nothing more. Both use the same engine so both should be almost identicle minus chrome is updated more frequently so it typically has newer webkit code (thus why it's usually faster til apple decides to do a safari update to catch up)

They have different Javascript engines.

As a paying iPhone developer who couldn't afford to go to WWDC this year, this royally pisses me off!

It may be available first on the local WWDC network but it will make its way out to those not on site in the near future (this how it historically has happened).

What a load of ********.
 
So I wonder if this will shut up the whiners who freaked out when the keynote only announced iPhone, and couldn't imagine that apple might make other announcements throughout the week (and beyond)?

Haha! C'mon man, don't sugar-coat it, tell us what you really think!
I've no problem either with Safari 4 but mobile safari sucks when pages have to reload.
 
iPhone Developer site is back up & nothing changed :( Safari Developer site is now down though

That was obvious after your guessed link still had the old date 2010-03-11 in the URL :p

I should probably stop now, this "link guessing" is unbefitting a moderator but I'm stuck at work and need some fun ;)
