Got a tip for us?

Try right clicking and customise toolbar. There should be a button in there. Maybe it's because you have changed it to look like safari 3Thanks. Like I said....

Maybe because you have messed with the tabs??? Also your search bar looks different to my safari 4...? You are using 4 right?
I guess if you need to focus to use the keyboard, then keyboard shortcuts could be slower. But if you can touch type, using the keyboard is significantly faster than the mouse.
You had me worried there! Yes, it is 4.
As for the tabs, I reinstated the old style tabs, the one ones didn't appeal to me.Try right clicking and customise toolbar. There should be a button in there. Maybe it's because you have changed it to look like safari 3
Ahh, the button is in there, but it's a real toolbar button, not the one stuck in the address bar. It wasn't there before, so it may be because of the S3-style tabs.
Now I'm happy.
Serious Youtube.com Flaw In Safari 4.0
SERIOUS YOUTUBE.COM FLAW IN SAFARI 4.0...
Safari does NOT copy links or open links in a new page properly, it just mimics the same page.
A MUST FIX.
I'm not sure if this flaw affects other websites, so far I've not found any, but I'm looking into it. Only noticed Youtube so far. But it makes Youtube virtually unusable for me in my opinion.

What are you doing to get it to do that? I am able to open links in new windows (CMD+Click) just fine...
WRONG... Sign into YOUTUBE FIRST!
Then go to your SUBSCRIPTIONS (View All) and you'll see what I mean, all the links fail to load the correct page. They keep re-loading the subscriptions page no matter how you copy or click to open in a new window, you name it, ALL ATTEMPTS WILL FAIL.
I figured out why. If you view the page source they either changed the way the linking worked or the old safari somehow was ignoring what the link told it to do.
Code:
<a href="#" onClick="onPlayVideos(['DpGqovcBVo0']); return false;" class="video-thumb"><img src="http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DpGqovcBVo0/default.jpg" /></a>I'm not an expert, so I'm not going to say what the cause of the problem is, but if you click on any of the subscription links they all work in BOTH versions of Safari.
However, ONLY in Safari 4.0 does COPY LINK or OPEN LINK IN ANOTHER WINDOW not work. That is what makes me suspect this is a Safari problem, not a Youtube problem.
Hopefully, this will get fixed soon. I already reported it as a bug.
Oh, since I've been mostly negative on Safari 4.0, here's some good news...
EBAY is WICKED FAST using Safari 4.0 and I've had no problems so far! YAY!
(the previous version always had Ebay issues from my experience)
Progress Circle
I was playing around with some of the settings and found that if you only use the second of the two "bring the progress bar back" commands ( " $ defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO " ) you get a really slick little circle (aligned on the left) that shows loading progress. I think this may have been an idea they were kicking around before they decided on the little gear on the left.
this is useful since the spinning gear doesnt let you know if the loading has stalled out
my only problem with both of those (the circle and the old school bar) is you lose your refresh button, but i guess thats what Command+R is for right?

Yes, Youtube Subscriptions is sorta broken in Safari 4.0
I hope Youtube (Google) or Apple fixes it soon.
Doesn't work in IE or Chrome. I am assuming you are actually going to your subscriptions section and trying this on one of the videos in the list.I'm not an expert, so I'm not going to say what the cause of the problem is, but if you click on any of the subscription links they all work in BOTH versions of Safari.

Hmm
The "converter" widget got a little bit "destroyed" by the Safari 4 beta.
Most of it still works, but when I'm converting USD$ to NOK (Norwegian Kroner) it gives me completely wrong info!
Anyone else having this issue?

yes, it gives horribly wrong results and I've heard it from other people, too. I've only tried USD/EUR and GBP/EUR, but it seems many if not all conversions are screwed up...
I hope Appleis aware of these issues.
It seems to me a lot of people are sending bug reports (hopefully):

Installed this the other day. Messed with my MSN, everytime I pressed return I would have to reclick the cursor inside the box to type. Highly irritating. Uninstalled Saf 4 and it worked again.
Like the coverflow favourites, its just a shame Im embarrassed of most of mine...
