Got it via Software update, 43MB. Can't see another thread for it, so created this.

Anyway I am sure someone has upgraded apart from me now (Although I guess a lot of people may have the Beta).

Quick question re: the Tabs. Are they at the top now like Google Chrome on Windows or in the same place as in Safari 4? On mine they are the same as the old Safari BUT I had previously installed Safari 4 Beta and then run a terminal command to give me the 3.x tabs as I didn't like the new ones. So either my machine remembers the Terminal command from the Beta or they dropped the idea. Which is it?

I saw someone post saying that they've moved the tabs. I've not got it installed on here so I can't check.
 
Quick question regarding S4. I want all links and new windows to open up in the existing window but in a new tab, a la IE8. I can't find an option apart from ctrl-clicking which seems a bit crap to me. Is there anyway to do it?
 
Yep - the tabs are in the standard position. I'm glad; the mutated title bar concept looked dire.

There's the option in preferences to do it for links from external applications, but I don't think you can force it during normal browsing. Middle-mouse clicking also works, I just do that through habit.

1. Close Safari

2. Whack this:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

into the terminal

3. Open Safari

:)
 
Im getting some odd scrolling jumps in 4, seems I scroll down a a page it moves about the right pace then just jumps down.

Anyone else getting this?
 
Downloaded this last night, haven't tested it yet though

The flash intro was cool though :)
 
Doesn't seem to want to put the Hotmail homepage as a Top Site :p

Edit: You can manually add them to the Top Site in the same way as you add normal favs.

Because it was stupid having to click on a specific part of the tab to move it. I imagine that's the main reason they went back down below.

Makes much more sense being below than above in my opinion.

That's just the poor way they implemented it. They just needed to make it work more like Google Chrome.
