Ah! this shows a black page in Safari 3 instead of that welcome screen in Safari 4.

I'm quite liking this new version so far.
I don't like having the tabs in the title bar though, as they are very difficult to read due to Vista's translucent title bars (Firefox wins there).
The top sites feature is really very pretty (one to Safari).
I can't see any options to add adblock features though (one to Firefox).
I also like the feature in Firefox where you can right-click on the Back button to go directly to a page you've recently visited (without using the History feature). Safari doesn't allow this. (One to Firefox).
Although so far it doesn't look like it beats Firefox (for me anyway), it's a good effort.
It's just a URL... something like Apple.com/safari/welcome

Yes, just like that. I'm not looking for a solution. I'm just saying it was supposed to be built it. It probably will be but only in Snow Leopard. Much the same way that OS 10.4 users can use Safari 3, but don't have web clip.

I was really not liking them; thankfully there are command line ways to remove that new behaviour also 🙂.

Websites still load extremely slow, and the java sites giving me issues...still give me issues. (im on 312k line)
Top list, or whatever, has crashed Safari 4 times.
Also, the list seems random, in that it deletes, and changes the position of the sites I put in there...buggy, this is not a feature. (Ive submitted a report.)
So, from what I have experienced, its pretty much what it claims to be...beta.
Interesting for sure, but not stable on my g4 powerbook 667 mhz with slow internet connection. 😀
Peace

still doesnt allow BB&T users to login to online banking using Safari and i do not like how when pages are loading the blue progress par doesnt go across the url section letting you know the page is loading.🙄
Finally!
Well this is my first post on Mac Rumors, long time reader, first time poster. I have a whole different reason for liking Safari 4.0. I am currently enrolled in a MBA program that requires us to work through the schools portal called ANGEL. They recommended that we all use PCs for the program. They also recommended that we download Firefox to better interface with their many web-based applications. Well, not being one to be told what to do I have made it through the first term with my new MBP 2.53 and while Firefox did allow me to connect it was less than optimal. Safari 3.0 was a none starter, every screen once signed on continuously blinked and would not load the pages properly.
SAFARI 4.0 has fixed all of these issues. I am sure that some programming guy (or gal) could tell me about all the new beeps and squeaks in 4.0 that enabled this but the bottom line is that it works. More importantly I can now use all of my multi-touch functionality that I could not use with Firefox 3.0.
Oh yeah, and it looks cool too!

If a site doesn't allow you to login, contact the owners - they are probably blocking all but a few browsers.
As for the progress bar - see here http://pastie.textmate.org/398861 (probably posted already in several places in this thread ... too long to read though)
You've done it with this method? Just do the same terminal thingy, set the commands to YES before and everything will be on Safari 4 again.
the BB&T problem is apples problem as its been there for months now, and Apple knows about it.(its even on their site they know the problem is there)
anyone notice how the little blue progress bar that came in the URL area when web pages were loading is now gone? That sucks 🙁

Support forum and "on their site" are two completely different things. And it's probably not Apple's fault. Safari 4 is good (if not the best) at sticking to web standards.

You'll have to look for the old reload and add buttons in "View - Customize Toolbar" then.

That's already been discussed quite a bit in this thread. Look at the post before this one to see how to restore it.
