TUAW Tip: Reverting back to Safari 2

I tried Safari 3. It was very unstable, crashed at the slightest provocation. Sadly I didn't notice the uninstall option when, late at night, in desperation decided to get rid of it. So I now have no Safari 3 and can't get Safari 2.0.1 back becuase it won't install on my OS which is 10.4.9
And how do you ever contact Apple to ask for help?

Just a note that it updates webkit so the rendering speed improvements affect all WebKit based browsers. I don't use Safari but I'm leaving the beta installed because both OmniWeb and NetNewsWire are both significantly faster under the beta.

"Reverting back? Are we going back? Just reverting? Revert back = double-negative. Me = pedant. Sorry. :("

Well Revert is a verb. So it is fine to say your returning to a previous state or condition. Therefore, reverting back is ok.

Better than that -- tried closing this tab with text in the box and I get a new message:

"Are you sure you want to close this tab?"
"You have entered text on..." etc

Very cool

I'm using FF at the moment, I need to revert to 2.0.4. Safari 3 will not work for, it will not launch, even after a fresh restart. I did my own backup of Safari 2.0.4 and it will not even launch, nor will Webkit. Anyone have an idea how to get it to work?

Yes, it's faster than before. I tried scrolling down a table with 6000+ rows with none of the perceptible delay in 2.0.

The inputmanager plugins do not work. I was surprised by the ads on this site when I came and then I realized safariblock is not working anymore.

The frames bug that prevents proper resizing of the frame split bar has been fixed. A sample page would be the api.rubyonrails.com site.

Install of Safri 3 froze - had to reboot.

Un-install does not remedy.

Can no longer launch Safari or iChat.

Just got my fingers burned with beta software.

Never again!

Will archive and install tomorrow

doesn't work for me at all. it doesn't load and pages or anything. weird.

good thing i reverted back. i was hoping it would be great to make my decision between safari and opera tougher but i guess not.

i'll stick with opera for now.

Yes !!...Thank goodness for the uninstall Pkg. That was the one thing that worked well on my Mac. The Windows version on my PC is actually working very nicely. Snappy and fast, though pretty ugly with the Windows bland motif but.... However on my Mac, it just kept crashing and crashing, especially on the second "parentally managed account" for my 10 year old son. I was able to revert all back to v2.0 before he experienced anything and avoid his wrath (*joke*)....all is good now.....I'm a Firefox User anyway and only Safari for the parental feature., on my son's account. I'll just wait for a bug-free production version in the fall.....
