    Well that was severely disappointing. It wouldn’t even open without quitting itself. Guess that’s why they give you the uninstaller, too.

    If you have extra plugins for Safari 3, like Glims, you have to delete it before installing 4 beta. That’s what causes it to crash repeatedly.

    Unbearably slow and not working consistently with basic prototype Javascript like Ajax.updater(). I was already using Firefox 3 more and more on my Macs, this could push me over the edge. Very disappointing so far.

    Everything looks great, runs super fast, and takes less memory to do so. BUT… Gmail won’t load. That’s a deal breaker for me unfortunately. Anyone know if the Gmail issue is on Apple’s end or Google’s?

    I like it.

    It installed and works with no problems for me. I’ve been using the nightly downloads for webkit. I’ll have to see which I end up using. But BOTH are VERY FAST for me.

    I have no idea what the person with firfox is talking about. I use that too once in awhile and that feel very bloated to me. I’ve got the newest version of FirFox.
