The new Safari 4 beta


If your just a regular PC user like me and you like some of the things that Apple/Mac is putting out there besides The Ipods then you've probably used there web browser's like safari and or Firefox. Me personally I want a Mac very much and when I was using my friends I was heads over heals about Safari, and then when I went to Apples website and found that I could download it and use it as my web browser I was astatic. And so I've been using it since then and until I get a Mac Book pro for myself.

Anyway enough of my life this new version of safari is nice and definitely the best and fastest web browser out right now. I really like the grid view of your personal top websites that you visit, its like the new grid view introduced in iTunes 8 last year. And the History or Cookies as you've been track has the Cover flow view its really nice you guys gotta download it and check it out for yourselves its nice and it has alot of new features.




Top Sites

Thanks to Top Sites, you can enjoy a stunning, at-a-glance preview of your favorite websites without lifting a finger. Safari 4 Beta tracks the sites you browse and ranks your favorites, presenting up to 24 thumbnails on a single page. You can even customize the display by pinning a favorite site to a specific location in the grid. That locks it into position, so you know just where to find it every time you open Top Sites.

Wonder which sites have changed since your last visit? Sites with a star in the upper-right corner have new content. A single click opens the page and updates its thumbnail. Whenever you want to return to your ever-evolving Top Sites page, just click the new Top Sites button in the bookmarks bar.



Full History Search

With Full History Search and Cover Flow, what you see is where you went. Safari introduces a dramatic new way to revisit sites, letting you flip through full-page previews of the sites you visited in the past. You may not have total recall, but Safari does, automatically storing all the text and a thumbnail of every page in your history. That makes it easy for Safari to get results even if you remember little about the site you’re searching for.

Just type a word or phrase in the History Search field in Top Sites, and Safari quickly presents you with a list of possibilities. In fact, you can search for anything that was on a page you visited, even photo captions. To jog your memory, Safari presents the sites it finds in Cover Flow, giving you the opportunity to spot the right site on sight.
