Then restart Safari. Your tabs will be back where they were in Safari 3.X.

You do bring up a valid observation. I never noticed before, since all tabs (like in Safari 3) had the selected tab as 'brighter', and the others in shadow. This is obviously different from windows where the active window is normal and the non-active are 'faded'.
I think it works this way, though.
I'm about to blow a gasket!
It lost it's Mac look, well at least on Windows it did.
Now it looks kinda like a mix of Opera and FireFox.
And in my opinion the history looks more like grid view than cover flow.

YAY, and this was on the last page when I got to the thread. The new style was really irking me - having no proper stop/refresh button and having the add bookmark button attached, which I would never use. And the progress blue fill of course. Thanks, hope this can still be done with the final release
.Still not too keen on the new tab/title bar, but Safari does look much better in Windows now ... while it's not crashing ><.
And yay, Googling teaches how to turn off the rest of the new annoying things. Now it looks how it should again. Why must they keep changing the look?
Will I be able to revert to the original way by changing the 'No' to a 'YES' ?
Very not nice.
That's the fastest speed that's even available here in town. There was a considerable drop in net speed for pretty much every other app and computer on the network while S4 was running. Yay, pre-fetching all the content for all the bookmarks is like, so totally awesome! Well, maybe if you're sitting in a Starbucks in Cupertino, CA.
That was one of my favorite features of Safari... I'm considering going back to 3 just for that =(
I would be annoyed at the graphical finesse if it compromised performance.
Fortunately Apple appeared to have been successful at both adding flair and increasing performance.
Firefox 3 users: try this page in FF3, then in Safari 4.
For me it both loads quicker and scrolls smoother in Safari compared to Firefox.
Get the blue loading bar back!

And you'll get additionally the good old reload and add (bookmark) buttons back. They are in the "View - Customize Toolbar" menue then. I've tested it, it works. Just copy the code into terminal and restart Safari. If you want to switch back to Safari 4's address bar - do the same commands again but with YES instead of NO.

Yeah it seems backwards to me. The tab color scheme is reversed from what it should be at least according to OS/X color coordination.
It worked before (I guess) because tabs were on the bottom of the bookmark bar and much smaller. One tends to glance at a page from tab to bottom and the title bar is sort of what defines whether a window is on top or not. IN Safari 4 you see light grey at the top which indicates a background window in OS/X. On top of it the grey around the selected tab and the grey around the tool and bookmark bars aren't the same color which is off-putting. One would think these things should be the same color because they are part of the same page the way they have it designed now. And to make it worse the shade of grey around the bookmark and tool bars is the same shade of grey as the de-selected tabs which doesn't make sense.
No, the refresh button is still there. It's on the right side of the address bar, on the inside.

I think that has more to do with your ISP connection than your browser, but those are dismal numbers! I got 24,375 download/1,788 upload, using the same Dallas server.
Heheh, the times they are a changin'.
When Apple run Vista on an iMac for benchmarking, there's something fishy going on.
Perhaps the performance increase isn't so great on OS X.
Well, that's what i said!
And the displayed values are the optimum here in town! It doesn't get any better not for love or money! 24? Hell, I'd be happy to get 6.
Did you try it using a server in a different city? Many times, you'll get faster speed that way.
I've had a few problems with the wordpress control panel and safari 4. Also an interesting thing I have noticed is Apple COPIED Microsoft!!!! Why on earth have they moved the refresh button to the end of the address bar like it is in IE7+8!!! It's horrible, it just means more mouse movement. I like all my controls in one place and I had it like that in Safari 3. They also copied Google Chrome with the Top Sites and the tabs at the top... The tabs are unresponsive sometimes when you click on them (expected because it's a beta). I really see no innovation from Apple here except with history cover flow which is kinda neat! Why did they remove the loading progress bar in the url bar. Now I don't know how long a page has left to load!
