This ran painfully slow on my fairly new MBP. Not sure why.

Works great for me. Need 1password to update though.

I don't like tabs as the title bar. Don't know who decided this was a good idea, but I want the option to move them back. I don't like looking up that far to tell what tabs are open.

Other than that, I like it.

1Password has released an update, but you have to go to the 1Password app in your Applications folder to access it. Go to the Preferences and in the updates section, check the box that says Include Beta versions. Now when you check for updates it should download a version that works with Safari 4.

One of the biggest changes visually is the new tabs, located along the top of the window. If you aren't a fan of this, a simple Terminal command will move them back to the old position. Just open up Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and paste in the following line:

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool FALSE

To bring back the new tabs on top, just repeat the command with TRUE at the end. You will need to restart Safari for changes to take effect.

Thank you, and thank you. I upgraded 1password last night, but it didn't wasn't up (likely only beta). Now the normal upgrade supports Safari 4.

And the tabs on the bottom rule

I'll try this out tomorrow. I don't know if I'll like it better than Camino - we'll see.

I stopped using the 'Top Sites' feature because new threads here at GT were showing up as if they had already been clicked and read by me.

Plus, I already have all my daily visited sites in the bookmarks bar and that just seems easier. I guess 'Top Sites' is nice for the people that like a little visual representation.

Another thing is, it would indicate when other sites has changed or updated, but it never did that for GT... hmm...
