In this respect it is the worst browser I have tried. Coming from a company with the resources of Apple I am surprised. Come on guys, stop dreaming in cuckooland and wake up! We need something that works….

Did you ever submit a bug report?

Also, does Google Chrome act similarly? They share an amazing amount of code, since both are based on Apple's open source WebKit project.

I installed the Release version hoping that these problems were fixed (I mean, after all, a beta isn't a finished product), but found that the behavior was even worse. And since no other browser acts the same way… well, there just wasn't any reason to put up with it.

You can also drag any part of the tab instead of the tiny handle now. (Yay!)

In the beta, the tabs had moved to the top of the window, above all the toolbars. While it had some benefits, it also slowed me down. After a while, I found it to be really annoying. I don't want to download it only to find that this is still the case.

I never had problems with either, on the Mac side, but I suppose things like that depend on your system.

However, I noted beforehand that many, many Apple users (on the Apple forums) seemed to have the same opinion and for the same reasons that I did–very slow response, hangs and freezes, poor page loading–and this on Apple computers, not on Windows. On my system, Safari is the -only- browser that exhibits this particular blend of inconvenience, but I suppose that's one reason that so many browser options exist. Safari, for me, is certainly not better than Internet Explorer, and not even close to Firefox.

I use Firefox as my main browser, but Safari is very solid and certainly better than Internet Explorer. I use it now and then as a secondary browser.

I tried Safari 4 for Windows too… and after a few hours, removed it from my computer. It was terrible.
