I love an article that claims Apple is copying things, but doesn't mention what it is copying. Further, I have used Chrome, and I honestly don't see the similarities. So, educate me please.

Two of their biggest changes are stolen: top sites and tabs on top.

And the post tells you to read the full review to read about beta in detail. But how could they expect you to do that when you can't even read the full blurb?

I will add. I really like this update. First, the favorite web pages thing is really useful. Second, I like putting the tabs up top as this saves space and is easier to find. Third, I like being able to enlarge entire websites, as opposed to just the text. Fourth, a searchable history is a feature I have been sending Apple requests for the longest time. I am glad Apple is listening. Fifth, it really does feel faster. I haven't found any negative issues yet, but I have only been playing with it for about an hour.

Does everyone know that what affects Safari's finish is WebKit? What happens to WebKit happens to Safari... Jeez...

please don't hate the product just cux u are too poor arse to be able to afford one.

Quick, smooth, install, no problems. Staring the new Safari the first time took a bit longer than normal.

Love the tabs along the top, making use of wasted screen estate. History as cover flow is cool as is the multi-paned top sites window. Very nice, Apple.

No Safari-related mods. MacBook Pro, 2, 10.5.6, 2 GB SDRAM, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo.

And, yes, sites load faster.

I used to be able to save physics videos (MPGs) by using the pull-down menu in the bottom right of the video that was playing. I own QuickTime Pro. I can't do that any more in this version. Very perturbing.

Good gosh, guest, get some therapy!

Borrowed from Chrome? Most of these features were pioneered in Opera first. Google borrowed from Opera, just as Apple has now.

Until I get a PithHelmet update that works with it, any speed increase or 'enhancements' (really, s******* around with the UI standards is a 'good' thing? I guess we should start expecting every other app to start adding menus, buttons, toolbars, etc to the title bar of their windows - no complaints now, Apple said it was OK) is destroyed waiting for stupid ads and other 'page enhancements' to load.

Guest, I'd like to point a few things out that you might not have noticed, what with the anger impairing your vision and all.First, I log in with a user name. It identifies my opinions and instills them with an air of authenticity. You may not like my opinions. You may have a problem with my posts. But if you do, I you can report the problem to an administrator and I can be identified and reprimanded.You, on the other hand, do not identify yourself. You come in and spew your bile, like a vandal spray-painting expletives on the side of a building, or a prankster screaming "Fire!" in a movie theatre. We can't identify you, report you, or do anything about this other than mark your post with a "thumbs down." You're hiding behind your "guest" non-login. This, my friend, is called cowardice.Second, do you honestly think you're going to earn a lot of points by coming in and saying "FCK Apple" in a Mac-centric forum? The name is MacNN. Not PCNN, not MSNN, not LinuxNN. And clever little ploys to get around language filters don't make you look a whole lot brighter either.Third, calling my sexual preference into question is not only completely off-topic and patently false (my wife of 16 years will be happy to tell you I'm straight), I'm pretty certain it falls under the category of abusive language, which would violate this site's (and most sites') terms of service. But of course, you'd have to sign up for a login to have read that, wouldn't you?Moderators, I'd like to bring up the subject of the often-abused Guest login. Why is this allowed? For all the reasons I've listed here and more, most forum sites require a username to post comments. I think that's a good policy: it keeps out the trolls. Please consider disabling guest comments.

While the irony of me posting as Guest to complain about a Guest's comments does not escape me, I'd like to ask the moderators to disable anonymous logins to get rid of that annoying troll. This is not a place for teen-aged comments, profanity and obvious hate-mongering.

You sure it's just not the same 'guest' on both sides of the argument, with his/her multiple personality disorder kicking in between posts?

or third CWSmith's comments. Guest gets abused too often. Require login. It is not that difficult to sign up, its free, and if a person can not take the time to sign up and be accountable, maybe that person should not be permitted to post. Free speech does not mean no accountability, despite what many may think/wish.

Tabs are in the wrong place. they belong around the content that the tab "owns". The tab doesn't "own" the bookmarks bar or the toolbar.

calm your horses, Apple rapes people in hardware, that's the bottom line.

It's better to remain silent and let people think you're stupid than to speak and remove all doubt. (Mark Twain, paraphrased)
