... from Apple update.

I'm not sure what the updates are. I'm a happy FF3 user...

Install requires reboot... Darn.

Will have to test that out when I get home.

This update is recommended for all Safari users and features protection from fraudulent phishing websites and better identification of online businesses. This update also includes the latest security updates.

Does this mean there is phishing protection similar to FF's?

EDIT: I don't see any differences. Although in Preferences, there is an option to warn when visiting a fraudulent site, I just dont know how to test it.

Interesting to see what that filter does.

Anti-phishing was the last thing missing...now Safari is THE best browser on the market. GO APPLE! BANZAI!

 

[Sky Blue]

Still running 4.0, which is now old but new

 

[mrrydogg]

Any Speed Improvements?

Thats all I care about right now.

 

[KingYaba]

I have to restart my computer? It's been up for fifteen days.

 

[Diaresi]

They've pretty much added what eBay slated them for not having. Nothing else seems any different user-wise

Cause when you update Safari, you are updating WebCore and JavaScript Core which are used by other applications outside of Safari.

As far as I understand a restart is the safest way to ensure applications don't start trying to link to the wrong versions of these libraries.

Plugins for gestures still missing. nur.

 

[ltldrummerboy]

Does this mean a new seed of 4.0 will be forthcoming?

 

[Sweetfeld28]

Dang, i was hoping for a little WebKit improvement.

 

[Nermal]

Still no way to remove the Google box. That functionality's been missing since 2.0.

 

[elppa]

I'm quite interested to see how they have exposed the anti-phishing in the UI (red background on address bar, warning page).

It will be good to see some screenshots soon.

Did they fix the memory leak that safari was having trouble with?

 

[LoCarbHotrod]

Has that first option been there, or is that new?

When you go to a site with special SSL certificates that supposedly validates that the site really is what it says it is, green text of the company name shows up next to the security lock in the upper-right of the screen.

Did you bother to read what they updated?

 

[LoCarbHotrod]

Did you bother to read what they updated?

I sure did. Instead of a smart ass response, you could of just said yes or no.

Oh and if you your talking about the support page, it isn't loading.

Another example of an authenticated SSL site:

Sites that are blocked look like so:

Nice, still subtle, but useful.
