First Impressions of Safari 3 Beta
I downloaded the Safari 3 beta (for Mac) and started using it. It does replace Safari 2 in your /Applications folder as well as the WebKit Framework and you have to restart after installing.
- It feels snappier
, except… It starts up super slowly. The window draws and then takes around 30 seconds to be responsive on my Dual 2 GHz G5. Could be something with my configuration, but it’s annoying. Kind of makes me want to switch back to Safari 2.This was an issue with my preferences, specifically the IncludeDebugMenu item. With the debug menu, startup is painful; without th preference set, it starts up right away.- Input Managers no longer work,
so no Inquisitor(Inquisitor works just fine),no Safari Stand(Safari Stand seems to work for the most part—no syntax coloring, though), no Safari Tidy. In fact having those Input Managers prevents Safari from starting up altogether. View Source shows a blank window.This was an issue with SafariSource. Disabled and everything works great, just no syntax coloring.- Replaces the dock, so I’ve got the annoying white background back. Hopefully Transparent Dock will be updated for this, but I won’t hold my breath.
- Inspect Element is nice, but I think that this is only available with the debug menu available and since this is a huge performance hit…
- Reorderable tabs are great, but there’s no way to move tabs between windows other than moving to a new window.
- I was disappointed to see it still uses brushed metal.
- Oh and it’s available for Windows. Hmmm…
- Oh Yeah Labels work properly now!
