Safari 4 beta

Update: Safari 4 compatible microformats plugin is now available

---

Safari 4 beta came out with a stunning new feature - Top Sites. I went from relying on a personal "hotlist" of frequently visited sites back when tabbed browsing was not invented yet to keeping multiple tabs open via Safari's ability to launch an entire folder of bookmarks at once. Top Sites is a much improved - and visually appealing - of achieving the same goal. I am definitely a fan. And I am not even talking about significantly improved performance, especially when it comes to JavaScript.

This beta did break a few things - in my case, microformats plugin is not working and Mail.app + Growl was causing crashing - went back to AppleScript solution which was used prior to Growl 1.1.4

One thing the new beta omitted is a loading indicator progress bar. Here's a way to bring it back: macosxhints.com - View a pie-chart-style progress indicator in Safari 4 Beta
