Let's just be patient and see what happens. Apple hasn't yet said that they'll charge anything.
Anyone know if Safari 4 will still be available on Tiger? Or is 3.1.1 the end of the line? The just released Quicktime 7.5 still supports Panther so there might be hope yet.
Very much reminds me of Mozilla's prism. Works just as well.
Now I have BBC iPlayer and BBC Radio Apps on my dock.
I can see this coming in really handy indeed.
There is a specific download for Tiger so yes it will be available for Tiger.
Yeah, it's really great.
I run Safari on both my Mac at home and XP at work, mainly so I have the same UI in both places. But the XP version is prone to "dead times" when a JS will go into a tightloop and bring down everything -- the window in question, other Safari windows, even other apps. It comes back eventually, but I've force-quit more than once to avoid waiting.
Zero examples of this in the new WebKit builds! And it's _really_ obviously faster too. I guess enough pages use JS that this is major performance boost, because overall browsing speed is noticeably faster.
I'm very happy with it, and would recommend it to anyone. Now if only they could get Find working in text editors...

I've downloaded Safari 4, but haven't installed it yet. I have a few questions before I do:
- Any recommendations on backing up 3.1 before installing 4.0?
- What if I need to roll back to 3.1?
- Has anyone who installed 4.0 seen issues/problems yet?
There is an uninstall option in the DMG that brings is back to the previous version.
As stable as the previous so seems..
yea, i posted that above, and i hope that is one of the things that gets addressed, because nothing slows safari down long term like a memory leak.
How is this awesome? It's a 1 megabyte bookmark that will crowd your dock and hard disk. You have no way of seeing what site you're on, whether it's secure, or anything else about it. How long before phishing sites start sending out "web applications" that dupes will use, not being able to see where they are? There's nothing to prevent you from navigating away from the site that you open to (programmatically or otherwise) and it's a simple modification of the entry in the info.plist file to redirect you someplace else.
Feels a lot more gimmicky than useful, and an almost embarrassing implementation that's nothing more than a Webkit window that opens on a stored URL. The potential downside far outweighs any sort of benefit, at least as far as I can tell.
