Safari 3.0 available for Download

Apple just updated their Safari page, and you can now download the public beta of Safari 3 for both Mac and Windows. Safari 3 offers pretty much all the same Safari features you've come to love and expect (tabbed browsing, inline find) along with a few new Firefoxy ones (forms autofill and faster performance). I'll be giving the new software a full going over but for right now, it seems much of the same. (Much like the WWDC keynote for that matter.)

Are there any new and fabulous Safari features that I'm overlooking? Let us know in the comments or via the Tip form. Thanks!

mine still showed the brushed metal UI, and i didn't find the bug report feature before i unistalled it.

to answer some questions, yes, installing overwrites your old safari, but bookmarks and the like stay intact, and uninstalling it restores the older version of safari.

PLEASE Heeeeeeeelp!...I've downloaded and installed it on the Windows Vista Ultimate (on PC!) and there is no text on its window! Nothing! There is the shape of the menus and they work but there is no text on them. I can't even write an address in the address bar! Nothing is typed! No text is shown.
(I reinstalled it but the problem remained.)
What should I do?!!

Why Windows? Cos Safari is the iPhone SDK, and it makes sense to have Windows users on board creating widgets for the iPhone.

Just installed on my MacBook and it worked like a charm. The new Find is cool, but doesn't seem too different overall.

There are MASSIVE performance improvements. Hate to use the example, but MySpace trashpile pages, with 15 flash videos and 50 animated GIFs, etc, used to take for ever to scroll, but now it is full speed. Way faster than FireFox. Very impressed on overall performance.

My girl just told me her Windows version just crashed. She was on MySpace, typing a message to send, so no plug-in was on at the time (no Flash app running, no Quicktime, nothing special, just plain HTML/CSS).

Why? Safari won't really be competitive with Firefox until it has a broad-based extension set. Also larger market share, if the gambit works, increases the general pressure on MSIE to become standards-compliant. It fits Apple's strategy of positioning itself as a maker of superior cross-platform software. And finally, payback for SJ being booed when he announced that IE would be the default browser for Macs (1997) and for MS dropping support for IE on the Mac thereafter.
