That's pretty neat, but I think the people in Germany are cooking the books.
It's also nice to see the page render so nicely in Safari.  |

Safari 4.0 is faster....
Liked some of the new features but took to long to load certain web pages.
I will still continue to use firefox as a second browser. mostly because i hate opera. |

I'm not a big fan of Opera either. Well, at least on the desktop side of things. I'll mostly use Firefox 3 for backup as well. At one time, it was the only thing that would let me print Blockbuster coupons. For that I am thankful. |

Huh? I have the latest version of Safari, it's 3.1.1 Where are you getting version 4.0 from? |
It might be available as a torrent since Apple has seeded it to developers...and yes it is just checked  _________________ MacBook 1.83Ghz C2D, 2GB Ram, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, OS X 10.6.5

That didn't take long.
Is anything else standing out from the current release? |

Apart from speed I can't see a difference from the current release, but to be fair I haven't had chance to have a proper look round. _________________ MacBook 1.83Ghz C2D, 2GB Ram, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, OS X 10.6.5

I upgraded to FF 3 earlier today. Most of the changes aren't visible.
There are obvious design/feature changes to the address bar and the navigation toolbar icons have been changed in appearance but that's pretty much what you can see.
One minor annoyance: if you want to sort bookmarks alphabetically you have to go to the bookmarks manager to do it. You can't do it within a bookmarks folder on the bookmarks sidebar window. Pretty odd. Perhaps they'll fix that. |

I think Firefox 3 is awesome once you turn off the "awesome bar".  |
