Same behavior as I am getting.

Maybe it is caused by us not running 10.5.6?

hmmm maby?

I really am trying to postpone installing 10.5.6 as long as I can because I don't want to accedently mess up and kill my Operating System =/

That was my line of thinking too. :)

ay I figured out how to fix it!

its because everytime you open a new tab it opens "Top Sites" in the new tab.'

Go to Preferences and under

New Tabs Open With:

select "Blank Page"

=D

Did you remove the Apple site as your homepage?
That's what I was trying to say...
I've noticed that vers. 4 is faster than 3 for refresh. Plus when it refreshes, the screen freezes for a second or two, and then a full new page appears. Before there was a gradual, and slower refresh. This new one seems way smoother too. I like it!

That does it for me too. S4 does seem to be significantly faster loading pages. So far I like (now that it doesn't crash anymore ;) )

Secret Safari 4 Menu
 
Someone has worked out how to access Safari 4's hidden preferences. This method allows one to change prefs without the need for terminal commands.

Quote:

Safari 4 has lot's of new features. But not all are welcome by everyone.

Some dislike new Tabs on Top feature
JavaScript can only open new tabs and not windows. That can be pretty annoying for some web sites
Address bar does not show Load Progress anymore.
You can reenable the latter by manually modifying some preferences. But there's a way to tweak other hidden options without even having to restart Safari to see changes.

It appears that Safari has a special secret menu for that purpose! In fact it's so secret that not even Apple knows it ;)

The first tab really bugs me from an aesthetic and useablity viewpoint, there should be a clear divison from the main window controls imho. Hopefully this will be addressed before final release. I find having to look and move my mouse higher to the tabs awkward but that may be because i'm not used to it yet :-/

The new web inspector is much better offering some basic css editing but still a long way from replacing Firebug for me (a firefox extension).
