Safari 4.0.2

Problem after download from Safari 4.0.2

Hey guys!
At first I want to say that my english is very bad so... maybe it's funny for you to read. But I've got a real big problem. My Dad has downloaded and installed Safari 4.0.2 a few weeks ago and after that his Mac is downright collapsed. When we restart the mac, it load everything. It seems to be ok at this point, but after ...i think 5 minutes... the mac stop working and just do NOTHING anymore. We've tried, for example, to quit the energie for 20min and restart it after that, but it's no use... can anybody here help us?

Hold the shift key when it's booting, and when you're logging in to put it in safe mode. Then verify the disk, repair permissions, check the other user accounts and check your Activity Monitor.
 
Any idea WHY Apple took away the blue progress bar?

So we all want the blue progress bar back. Yeah yeah, send feedback to Apple and maybe they will bring it back (slim chance)...

Anyhow, can anyone come up with a logical reason WHY Apple would remove a feature like this? Who WOULDN'T want to see a progressive loading indicator rather than a spinning cog-wheel giving NO indication of whether a page is just not working at all or just taking extra time to load?

I mean sure, Apple is notorious for things like this - Taking away the DVD/CD eject button on the front of G5s, making useless desktop keyboards with tiny up/down/L/R arrows, taking away then re-introducing FW800.. The list goes on.

Most things I can assume are cost/profit related. But such a simple yet useful graphic being removed from Safari I cannot think of one logical reason (whether good or bad) they think its better this way.

Anyone have a guess? (Other then they just like to mess with us )

Probably simplicity. And it's not that it gives NO indication. It has the dark grey box for "Downloading assets", which reduces to white for "Rendering page". At a guess.

I suppose they figure you don't need anything more than "loading"/"rendering". In a way does it really matter you know how much is left? I liked the blue bar, but I wouldn't say it was critical.

Everybody please just relax. If you you want the progress bar back, just do like most people, and start using FireFOX. Really simple, and a far better browser anyway.
 
hey guys, about the new safari. there is this strange new bookmark type bar with a google browser among other things. how do I get rid of it?
 
* I'm still mad that they changed the location of the reload button a while ago. In the status bar? Come on! I'm boycotting Apple for this.
