Safari 4.0 Officially Off Beta Status
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 12:00 PM
"The public version of Safari 4 came out Monday amid all the iPhone noise at WWDC, and Apple confirmed what those who played around with the beta version already knew: Safari is now a serious browser for serious Windows users, and its position on Macs has been bolstered."
Finally released from the beta realm, Safari 4.0 came out Monday. I've been messing around with it for a month or so, and like it for the most part. The biggest change from the beta is that the tabs on top are now gone, Apple opted for the original look and placed the tabs under the bookmarks bar. Another change is that if a crash happens because of a plug-in like Flash, only that section of the page will cease to function. They have also brought back the "stop" button, which I missed in the beta version. I'm going to download this later today to see how it performs, anyone else going to give this new version a try?
