Not snappier: disabled everything upon launch. Couldn't click on the force quit button. Had to do a hard restart. And yes, I like having that extra 1/4" of real estate with the tabs on top.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Safari 4 for Mac and Windows
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Not particularly enjoying this so far.
Sort of want to go back to the beta.
- It's definitely darker, more like Safari 3. It's also much harder to read.
- It seems a lot slower than the last beta was.
- The loading image is really obnoxious.
- The caching bug is still there. If you hard-refresh a page, every page on that site will reload every element every time you view a new page (for example, if you refresh a page on a forum, every time you view a new page on that same forum it will reload every image). Try it.

Doesn't happen for me.
Harder to read what?
And yes, it's much faster. Its MR that is going as slow as hell right now.
INCREDIBLE...90% of the people here COMPLAINED when tabs on top were released...another proof that Apple CREATES demand out of nowhere...they are geniuses.

I Found this one!

GETTING 1PASSWORD TO WORK IN SAFARI 4
Im sure the guys at Agile Web Solutions will have a fix for this soon, but in the meantime, heres how to get 1Password to work with the version of Safari that Apple released today:
Right click on 1Password in your applications folder, choose Show Package Contents
Browse to Contents > Resources > SupportedBrowsers.plist
Double click to open in Property List Editor
Drill down to Safari and find MaxBundleVersion
Change the Value to 5530.17 and Save
You may have to restart Safari after this, but these steps worked for me.

Everybody wants the tabs back on top!
Maybe Apple moved them back to the bottom because Walt Mossberg cried about tabs on top.
I bet even Walt now likes tabs on top.
Firefox 3.5 release imminent?!

Except that it is blazing fast and the tabs are now back at the bottom of the URL address bar, and the address bar shows page load progression, and the UI seems to be more unified than before. Other than that, not much different
blimey, don't cry.
Everyone complained because it was new and weird, but after a few months of use, people realised it WAS a great idea. Now Apple have changed it back.
Tabs on top was one of the worst usability blunders from Apple in quite a while. Slowing my cursor down when clicking a background Safari window in order to avoid accidentally closing a tab or changing the active tab was really frustrating. Also gotta love how the width of a tab changed when it was the active tab.
If you prefer tabs on top, you probably didn't regularly use more than six or seven tabs at a time. Tabs belong beneath the address bar against the top edge of the content view, because each tab represents content in the view.

The caching issue has been happening for me since Safari 4 beta. Any clue what could be causing it, then? It's becoming a huge pain for me.

And I am on sites other than MR, you know ... however, it does seem to be going faster now that I've had it open for a while.
It's harder to read the bookmarks bar and tab names.
No, this is a Snow Leopard only feature.
These are now in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews.
It was the chrome's people idea.
Because not all good ideas are stolen from the great opera web browser.
It's really hard to believe how oblivious to other people's opinion some folk are. Just about everyone preferred the tabs on top and this guy calls it not just a blunder but "the worst usability blunder"...well...
Just downloaded and installed.
Looks ... interesting.
Will have to play with it awhile, but generally, I like it.

You obviously didn't try clicking a background Safari window with eight tabs open and experiencing the joy of unintentionally changing the active tab or even closing a tab. Tabs on top was an awful experiment; let us never mention it again.
If anyone figures out any hidden preferences like on the beta version, please post them on this page. I would especially like to get rid of this stupid loading box in the address bar. I much prefer the blue progress bar.
On an unrelated note, every time I try to go to the Apple Store Website Safari crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?

Ditto here. What a stupid idea to put tabs on top; totally against Apple's UI guidelines.
I did a few months ago with the Safari 4 beta. Clear your cache and cookies and hope for the best.
