Apple has just released Safari 4 both for Mac and for PC on Safari’s official page.
There doesn’t seem to be a specific page on Safari 4 change log compared to Safari 3 but I did notice a few things changed and improved.
Most notably is the speed! Safari just gets faster and faster and it’s good. According to a screenshot from Safari’s page, the i-Bench HTML benchmark shows that Safari is the fastest among other current browsers:
Go Safari!
Safari 4 also seems to fix the Top Sites problem that I was having with Safari 3. Previously, this is what I got on my Windows XP machine on Safari 3:
On Safari 4, it now looks great:
There are also some small interface changes (Tabs, new Loading text on the address bar) and looks like you can close a tab with your middle mouse button now (which I couldn’t do on Safari 3 as far as I can remember).
With Safari catching up to version 4, it’ll be interesting to see what Opera, Chrome, and Firefox will do to be ahead of the competition.

Damn, another web browser that I need to get around to trying. I still haven’t even downloaded the latest google chrome browser!
I started using Safari few days back and I fall in love with this browser. It’s actually Firefox + social networking = Safari..
Great news. I will try this out this evening.
Thanks.
