Apple Safari 4 (beta) -Mac and PC

Just been playing with the beta version of Apples browser Safari 4 for the past week and have to say it is very, very good.

you can download it here

It is much faster, and has some very nice itunes flickthrough type touches. It does over write your old safari though.

Cor thanks Biggles. I'll get right onto it.
When you say overwrite does it still leave my preferences the same?

It overwrites the Application only.

It will keep your bookmarks and settings. I recommend you allow it a few mins to "build" a history-looks and works very well-you get to flick over past pages like albums on the iphone. You don't have to do this right away but it is so cool once done.

PS I should have mentioned it has different Leopard and tiger versions

It looks great.
I might even put Firefox out with the cat.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Installing now....

yep, me too, I have only used Firefox once this week-and that was becuase I wanted to check disc caching and needed another browser, although I will miss some of the FF add ons

just started using it on my macbookpro-so far so good

there is some more cool stuff in the prefs too
