Safari 4 Beta

Much excitement this week regarding the beta release of the latest version of Safari, Apple’s web browser. Along with many others, I excitedly downloaded and installed, and first impressions were something of the Wow variety.
Perhaps most impressive, along with the increased browsing speed, was the Top Sites feature. This allows one to see the home pages of one’s most visited sites arranged on the screen at once.
Unfortunately, on opening my Mail app I discovered something was causing it to crash repeatedly. Also, the RapidBlog plug-in I use with Rapidweaver had ceased to work. The Mail app blamed Growl but the superb Rapidweaver support forums attributed the problem to Safari having changed some protocol or other.
No prolonged worries as RapidBlog was rapidly updated and I was able to use the Safari 4 uninstall app which Apple had been kind enough to include in the original download folder. So, having got a sneak preview of what it is going to be like, I think I’ll just wait for the full release.
