Doh, that was the first place I looked. Somehow I missed it the first time around. Thanks
The developer tools in Safari are much better designed than any Firefox plug in I have tried. There are lots of little, thoughtful details that will make debugging a lot easier. I really like that you can quickly turn on and off bits of css for an element.
btw ... Is there a keyboard shortcut for Selecting an Element to inspect (the little magnifying glass in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen)?

Possible GMail fix
I was running into this problem with Safari 3, haven't encountered it with the beta yet. However, I was able to fix the problem by deleting all cookies that begin with GMAIL_STAT_ and then reloading the page.
Just go into "preferences -> security -> show cookies" search for "GMAIL_STAT" and the select all and delete them. Normally there are only one or two of those, but when it gets stuck there are 10s of them.
Can folks try this out and report back?

I guess that works. It's just with the Aluminum Macbook, I had gotten quite used to pinch to zoom, when I used the zoom feature, which was not quite often.
Can Anyone help me out really quickly??
I am a mac fan but by no means a computer wiz ..
I just installed Safari 4 and want to make some the adjustments (e.g. move my tabs and restore my status bar). Could someone please give me a step by step of how to do it?? Most Appreciated

Yeah I have the same problem. I love the full screen zoom but I now have to press Cmd and +/-/0. Multitouch for zoom is totally unusable now. I reported this problem to apple. Hopefully they fix it in the final release.
Another thing I like to add: The tabs at the top took a bit of time to get used to but now I prefer this way. I really like the look of it. Especially how the gradients look on the selected tab (especially on the first tab).
The history/bookmarks should be already in coverflow mode. Are you sure you are using Safari 4?

Copy each of these commands in Terminal.app. Press enter after each one.
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO
You move tabs by clicking on the top-right corner (with the little lines) and dragging them around. You restore the status bar via View > Show Status Bar.I just installed Safari 4 and want to make some the adjustments (e.g. move my tabs and restore my status bar).

Well you're kind of wrong there. As Dejo is a developer he makes that decision for anyone who uses his product.
Uninstalled 4.
Couldn't delete messages in my Hotmail inbox.
Couldn't watch videos on CNN.
Couldn't open any of my bookmarks that were in folders.
This browser isn't ready. And no... that's NOT why they call it Beta. This is Alpha.
Meh, besides the Hotmail issue that everyone is having I think some of the rest of your issues are "your" issues. S4 has made no affect on my Mail.app or any other app on both my iMac and Macbook Air and I have no issues playing CNN videos. No issues with Bookmarks either.
Gmail

Found a site that seems to crash Safari 4 and cause kernel panics. It's www.joeyl.com and www.whereisjoey.com Both froze Safari and the first time I got a kernel panic. The site uses flash so I'm not sure if thats the problem.
It's not resolution independence as far as I can tell. It just looks like some bicubic image resizing along with proportional font scaling. Opera has been doing it for years. If it were resolution independence text wouldn't scale within frames while the frames remained the same size - the whole lot would scale proportionately. Zoom in on this page now and you'll notice the frame width remains constant as the text gets bigger. I think a lot of it depends on the CSS implementation of the site in question. With this site, for example, you'll notice when you zoom that the relationship between the text area of a post and the area that contains the poster's details changes, and it changes for the worse, with the text area growing smaller and the user area growing uselessly larger.
Actually, I do not have that experience. When I zoom in on this page, unlike with Safari 3 and Firefox, the frame width does expand to accommodate the growth of text size. While reverse zooming, the user space decreases accordingly. RI or not, this is a welcome improvement.
