Apple Announces Safari 4

[ggt]

nice, looks like the welcome message is done in html 5 and css effects. i could be wrong though

Cool...

Indeed

But I'm sure Apple's is much more stable and sexy.

Edit: Just realized FoxTab is for viewing your open tabs while Top Sites is for bookmarks. In that case:

But Apple's is much sexier.

Well, Safari certainly is snappier. I'm digging the Top Sites feature. I just have to get used to the tabs on the top now though. Probably by tonight.

I keep looking up and thinking 'where did all my tabs go to'? Then my mind just says 'half an inch away'.

Wowzers.

I can't resist:
Go go gadget Beta.

I hate them too. How is it helpful for them to be up above the address bar?

I like them though... Maybe I was already used to them when I was trying out Chrome

Dont understand can someone go to this site for me please Abbey and tell me if it loads, don't worry its only a UK banks online login page.
Thankyou

The page itself loads for me no problem. It does say about being an unsupported browser, but nothing appears to not actually work. I can't log in though due to that not being my bank!

 

[SFStateStudent]

Well, I'm not one to be a bubble buster, but there seems to be lag (the rainbow beach ball) while moving around within MacRumors; hopefully it's just me and my Mac is just warming up...

Thanks mate for trying when i try and logon it give me this:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://myonlineaccounts2.abbeynational.co.uk/CentralLogonWeb/Logon?action=prepare” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “myonlineaccounts2.abbeynational.co.uk”."

Looks like im going back to safari 3

Gmail not Loading

For some reason Gmail keeps hanging. Apparently they are having troubles, but it loads fine for me in Firefox. Anyone else having this problem? It just shows a blank page.

 

[RQPS]

There needs to be a better way to manage top sites, I want to get my gmail on there and its not coming up as a delete sites that are repeated. Is there away to do this and I am missing it?

 

[aristotelis]

Yup, happening to me too!

hotmail works fine here though

 

[Anghammarad]

I like that it is now possible to cycle between open tabs by using alt-tab

Edit: ctrl-tab dammit

It seems to work for some and not others. Google mail/docs/calendar and so on work fine for me on the Leopard version of Safari 4.

The toolbar has minimal options in this beta. I would like to have the Stop/Reload button back.

 

[LoCarbHotrod]

Won't install on 10.6. Darn!

+1 ^^^ what happens if my son's favorite porn site is one of his TOP SITES? (Again, hypothetically!)

Mine works fine. Not only that, I no longer sees the Bad Gateway 500 error I was having trouble with before

nintendolinky, I just clicked on that link in S4 and it opened just fine.

As for my first impressions, I definitely like it. I see a nice speed increase on my PC but unfortunately have yet to try it on my Mac. It looks very polished.

 

[plinx0r]

Seems nice but I need 1password back. Anyone found a solution to reinstall the Safari plugin?

Welcome message? I didn't notice any welcome message...

 

[slapppy]

What about... Microsoft compatibility

What about most corporate and lately sites that are using Active-X, .NET, ASPX that keeps telling me I have to use Internet Explorer to work properly? I mean lets not forget that 90% of the planet is still owned by Microsoft.

 

[spazzcat]

Does anyone else have google hosted email? I can get to everything but my email.

Comparison to nightly WebKit?

Anyone know if Safari 4 is based of the nightly WebKits? I've been running those as my main browser for a little while now, and overall I like it as everything's been snappy and working well.

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I think that's a Gmail issue, not Safari, because I'm looking at my email right now.

It's a more efficient use of space.
