Its nice but Firefox still does it for me (also aol and hotmail took a long time to load)

For those of you wondering how to get your top sites to show up as your homepage, simply go to your top sites, then open your preferences, and click "set to current page". If that isn't your style, just change your homepage to "topsites:///".

Here's what to do if you miss the blue progress bar when a page is opening.

Open Terminal and type in the following commands......

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO

Close both Safari & Terminal and when you reopen Safari the progress bar will be back!

Been using 4 since yesterday and am loving it so far.

Too bad chrome isn't available for mac yet. Only issue is that the PC version pegs the CPU at 100% occasionally. Mac version seems quite stable. Rendering is indeed faster than firefox and on the PC vastly faster than IE7

Also... MathML is broken

Getting a lot of rendering errors; but then Safari never really supported MathML. Will still need to use Firefox for this...

While it looks nice, I've used Firefox way too long to turn my back on it now... It seems to me like Safari is constantly having to fix security bugs/holes... I know that Firefox has them too, but if I'm going to have to pick a web browser, I'd rather stick to something I know that I trust than give it up for some glitter and glam... Just my opinion.

Is this the case still for 10.5.6???

I would really love to try this out, but wont bother if the DFU mode wont work on my phone.

Do what cash said or use a USB hub. $5-10 bucks.

The new safari looks freakishly awesome, i downloaded it this AM, but I haven't had a chance to use it. :-( SO I'm watching the board and listening to you guys tell me EVERYTHING about it.

Question: Does anyone think it'll ever have something like "No Script" (Firefox) installed on it?

Thanks sooo much. The blue bar is the thing I needed back

Mail will crash if growl is installed. Apparently Hotmail doesn't render... otherwise it's a great improvement.

Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.

This did not work for me.... I did change the value to 5528.16 as they instructed... then updated to 2.9.9 beta 10 and it worked....

Follow this forum and make sure to get 2.9.9 beta 10 link is in post #16 by Jamie. From what they are saying you update your 1password with this beta because it will work with this version of Safari....

im in love

Can someone please upload the file for me if it's not too much trouble. I still don't understand how Firefox and Safari 3 download everything else, but then they get to the Safari 4 download page, say "Thank you for downloading Safari 4", but don't give me the file.

How do you get the topsites home page to work in windows?

(and for anyone who knows about the rm -rf / story, i am CHECKING THIS COMMAND ON GOOGLE)

Those commands are safe and do work.

BTW, rm -rf / (recursively force delete everything from the root down) only works if you are the root user. SunOS once had a bug which would do the same thing if you issued: "rm -rf *" from anywhere in the file system. It would traverse to ".." which is the parent directory and then keep going until it reached "/"

**Grassmasta** · 02-25-2009, 03:18 PM

I already posted on "how to get topsites as your homepage", either open top sites and in your preferences click "set to current page", or just make your homepage "topsites:///"

Ah I see it now, kind of a strange place to put it but I feel happier now knowing where it is
