Safari 4

I was a little sketchy earlier today about all the hype around the latest release of Apple's Safari Web Browser. A few people over on Twitter managed to convince me to give it a go and, shockingly, in a matter of hours, it's managed to replace Firefox 3 as my Default Web Browser (at least on my MacBook anyway).

It compliments Mac OSX perfectly. It's soooooo much faster, heaps and bounds so and, most importantly, the included developer features are just plain amazing, which allows me to raise my hand and wave "ta ta" to the ever buggy FireBug Plugin I was using on Firefox.

With better space saving tabs, Cover Flow bookmark/history browsing and the "Top Sites" wall (pictured above) it sure does make navigating everything that whole bunch easier. :D

For more detail (and to download the Beta) go here.

Oh and it also Passes the Acid 3 Test with Flying Colours (excuse the pun) and Adopts a Native Windows appearance when installed on any Windows OS.
