Grab it! This build has been the fastest, most-stable, leak-free, crazy-input-text-bug-free build I've seen in months.

You won't be disappointed...no matter what I threw at it, the app just kept chugging along.

gmail works perfectly...AJAX-heavy sites seem to work perfectly...CSS3 is looking good (much better than in the Safari builds included with the 10.4 point releases)...SVG is coming along nicely too.

Checking it out now.

Sorry to be so thick, but now that I've downloaded it, how do I use it?

[Big Mac]

You just launch it instead of the regular Safari. You can make it the default browser if you please. Thank you for the heads up, HP.

I don't know what your experience has been with this build so far but, for me, Safari has been up since yesterday morning. I've been using it pretty heavily since yesterday and it still hasn't crashed yet.

For a dev build, this has been the most solid build so far.

I've tried the nightlies before, and was attracted to this when you said gmail worked properly, but, alas, it doesn't even launch on my computer.

The nightlies started crashing on me upon launch back in mid-May. Around that time they stopped playing nicely with the the Safari plug-ins I use (AcidSearch, Safari Plus, and Safari Block). The good news is that if I disable those plug-ins then WebKit runs fine. The bad news is that I've really grown accustomed to those plug-ins (and the standard autofill feature). So I tend not to use WebKit on a regular basis because I don't want to give up that functionality and haven't run across many sites where I notice an appreciable difference between Safari and WebKit.

Same here. Hoping AcidSearch gets an update.

Thanks for this reminder. I hadn't been using those builds since last year. [ Not sure it'll work for wife who's still on Panther ]

I'll test drive latest Webkit for a while. Unfortunately, the first thing I notice is that animated gifs ("smilies" here) still make me frown by sukking up cpu.

Wow have you seen the web inspector ? Right click on a link and choose inspect element... could be useful for webdesigners...

Yep, it's been around for awhile...

Yes, it's fast. But mine still crashes upon right-click (actually: cntl-click) on a link.
Anybody else experience this, as I have for months with Safari?

This is with About saying "Version 2.0.3 (417.8) in a build from a few days ago.
