Safari
So far after using it a little I seem to like it. It's fast (Chimera's still a drop faster though), the Brushed Metal isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, the Google Integration's cool and everything else seems good. The one thing I'm pissed about is that it doesn't have tabs and because of that I'll probably stick to Chimera.
What do you guys think?

and it doesn't pop up a window to rename a website...
ok...let me try again
Great show. The only show I know that Apple stock didn't lose like 4 points.
<strong>I'm loving Safari. It's now my default browser and I don't think I could ever go back to Chimera (which was always buggy and most times wouldn't even open on my Pismo) or IE.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You really had that many problems with Chimera? Ever since .6 came out I hadn't had any problems with any sites.
Oh, and right/control-clicking should bring up more options, like back, forward, etc.
I'll be emailing Apple about these, I hope other people will do the same.
I'm surprised that they didn't utilize the drawer like Chimera does.

* I cannot stand the brushed metal look. Yeuck!
* it is slightly faster than Chimera (01/06 build) on my iBook/500/320
* I am pleasantly surprised that it blocks pop-ups
* Bookmarks management is no good until I can import my Chimera bookmarks
* don't really care about the lack of tabs
I'm sticking with Chimera for now. But there's a good chance I'll switch when Safari 1.0 hits the street.

I don't know about Chimera but Safari imported my IE bookmarks without me doing a thing. They were just there.

For chimera bookmarks, remember this is iTunes for the web. Drag each bookmark over and put them whereever you want. You can't do more then one but it's a simple drag and drop into the bookmarks menu.
It blocks ALL pop ups tho I hope they allow linked pop ups in the future along with a few other options.
Brushed metal looks GREAT IMHO, I like the bookmark management (i was toying with ToolBars in IE--I like this better), it is faster than IE for me (I never really used Chimera). This is my default browser now, no doubts. EXCELLENT job, Apple!
<strong> Also as far as I can tell I can't transfer my bookmarks from I.E. </strong><hr></blockquote>
My Explorer favorites were automatically imported by Safari. Look at the bottom of the bookmark window.
<strong>Are there some Apple shennanigans going on in Safari???
I havent been able to load MOSR or ThinkSecret at all, although both work just fine in OW 4.1.1 literally side by side. Safari just gives an unable to load page for 30 seconds sheet and ceases trying.
It also doesn't FULLY subscribe to the spelling service which I consider a major flaw even in Beta status as service integration isn't that difficult, especially for the homegrown services. You can access the Spelling service through the contextual menu, but we already know it should be properly available without the CM in a properly written Cocoa app. Well bug report to be submitted.
I do like the speed though. Has anyone figured out how to painlessly import OW bookmarks?

As with Chimera, try to open OW's bookmarks and drag them over into the bookmark well as you would mp3s into iTunes. Worked for me on Chimera.
