Default Safari 4 Beta

Loving it!

A few javascript elements on some sites don't work, but this sucker is FAST! Also enjoying Top Sites more than I thought I would, but not using CoverFlow anywhere near as much...

How's it working for you?

The only down side to it (on Windows) is the slow startup compared to Google Chrome which is also based on WebKit.

Besides that, I am LOVING the new features. Since I started using WebKit based browsers, I ditched Firefox for good.

No slow startup on Macs. At least not for me.
