Safari 4

A beta of Safari 4 for Mac and PC was released last week, go here for download.
It features some rather nice eye candy - such as a "cover flow" browsing history and a rather nice favorite site window (see screen shots above).

I'm sure many web developers will be shuddering at the thought of yet another browser to support, but it does bring with it some new web technologies (such as CSS 3 and HTML 5). It also provides some rather nice looking developer tools, see here for full feature list.

I tried using Safari 4 for a couple of days on my work PC. It seemed to be noticeably faster than other browsers, though it did seem to hang a bit when adding new tabs - this might be because it was set to always start new tabs on the favorite site window. I think if the hanging issues could be resolved it could give Firefox some competition.
