Safari 4 Beta Available from Apple

Apple has released a beta version of Safari. This new version of Apple’s web browser boasts a few flashy new features:

  • See all your favorite web sites on the screen at once.
  • Browse your history and bookmarks with Cover Flow.
  • Improved tabs and browsing history search.
  • A Windows-esque look and feel for Windows PC users.

Want to enable 1password in the Safari 4 Beta? Here’s how.” shows you, well… how to transfer your passwords over to Safari 4 from 1password.

Mona N. of Pixel Bits says she switched back to Safari 3 due to stability issues with the beta (remember: “beta” means software that might have bugs). The ensuing conversation on FriendFeed gives a few others’ impressions of the new browser, including a few people who report not having experienced crashes.

If you have problems running Safari 4 Beta, the application comes with an uninstaller.
