For a moment I thought I found something I didn't like. Zooming zoomed everything, images et al, like Opera. I don't like that so I went to prefs to see if there was an option for the alternative - zoom text only. It wasn't there but I found it in the View menu.

I have F16 and F17 set to reduce or enlarge text in every app via QuickKeys shortcuts and I use them *ALL THE TIME*.

Sadly, it only comes in English only, and that kinda mixes up my Macintosh experience. Hope they'll release a beta with localisations soon.

I've tried setting MaxBundleVersion to "*", but keywurl still isn't loaded. :/ ... Do I have to set anything else?

Edit: Had keywurl installed in two locations. ... Safari crashes often, when I activate it with the *-trick. Had to remove Keywurl for now. :/ Safari 4's really fast. Loving the speed, hating the tabs-in-the-titlebar. :/ Quite a bit harder to move tabs around, because you can only grab them on one little spot.

Edit2: Apparently, you can revert to the old tab-view like this:

Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO

I'm not sure I like the tabs at the top.
The top sites is very similar to what is in Google Chrome, so are the tabs. I don't know on Mac but the tabs do seem hard to see. They are very dark.

On my iBook it goes faster than Safari 3 but is still slow (500MHz 384MB RAM with 10.4.11 = not very fast ).

I don't know. In a way it's more intuitive that you have a specific spot to grab if you want to drag the tabs around. I prefer it, less ambiguous, just different than before.

I haven't installed it yet, but I got to see some of the screenshots over at Ars Technica. Glad that Apple decided to use a native UI for the Windows folks. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that Chrome-like tab view. It looks as though M. C. Escher designed this application.

I'll give it a run on my iMac and on a Windows PC at work once it's final.

so far, so good !

Just fast and reliable. My only issue is with Lotus webmail where the only solution is still Firefox.

One problem is that the installer didn't save my old passwords.
