Safari 3.0.2 beta released

by David Chartier Jun 22nd 2007 at 7:30PM

The Surfin' Safari blog dedicated to the open source WebKit project (which powers Safari on Mac OS X, Windows and even the iPhone) has announced the availability of Safari 3.0.2 beta. This isn't a major release by any means, but it does contain a healthy list of squashed bugs, as well as fixes for mysteriously disappearing text in a variety of situations. The announcement post contains links to specific information for Mac and Windows users, as well as a link to more security issues fixed in this new beta.

To snag the new version for either platform you're using, simply head to Apple's Safari beta download page and pick your poison. Of course, we must remind you this is a beta, so it is still not all that uncommon for Safari 3 to crash, hiccup and potentially eat your cat. Besides, one could question whether your cat should be getting very close to your computer to begin with.

Still waiting for a practical way to sort my bookmarks(a right click feature/sort by name/ascending/descending) as 'all' other browsers have.

@14 You can use 'Inquisitor' to change the default search site.

@16 ad 1 You can use WebKit latest builds together with Safari 2.

1) Does anyone know how to get Safari 2 AND 3 to run at the same time on one machine?

2) Has anyone got PithHelmet to work on Safari 3? (It blocks ads).

Finally! Safari is now usable on my Windows computer too.
Before this update, it did never render pages correctly...

Until Apple gives me the choice of search engines in the search bar, I will stick to Firefox.
Forcing Google on me is so Microsoftish.
Will Safari 3 give me a choice?

Software Update gives this Beta Update if you have installed Safari 3 Beta; otherwise we get Security Update 2007-006, which fixes WebKit for Safari 2.

The Windows version corrects the bug where Safari crashed when I tried to view or arrange my Bookmarks (Windows XP in spanish).

does this fix the issue with Yahoo Messenger 3 Beta 1? Where when a buddy starts typing, or they enter a message, it resets to the top of the IM window? I switched back to 2 just for that reason, and for pithhelmet.
