Webkit nightly builds are completely different than Safari 4 beta. Webkit works as a "self-contained" application, it doesn't install a new version of webkit or the associated frameworks, but rather utilizes copies within it's own Contents package. Safari 4 beta actually installs newer versions of webkit and associated shared files. This is a big difference. With Webkit nightly you can trash an old version and use a new version instantly. With Safari 4, you'd need to use an installer, and if you decided to downgrade you'd need to use the special "uninstaller", and perhaps even reinstall Safari 3. Webkit DOES NOT support plugins or extensions like Safari does, so you'll ALWAYS get the warning when you start any version of Webkit and you have any plugins or extensions such as ClickToFlash. > 3) When I open a link from a Mail message and I already have Webkit/ > Safari opened, it opens a second instance of the application. This occurs when you have both Safari and Webkit. The problem is a preferences issue. You're probably using Webkit, and your preference is for Safari as your "default" browser, and when you click ANY link (not just from Mail messages, ANY link), the default browser will open in addition to the one you're already using. This isn't a good idea to run multiple versions of webkit simultaneously. I normally try to change my default browser preference to whichever I happen to be using to avoid this scenario. If you don't have multiple versions on your computer (i.e. Safari & Webkit both) then there's no way to open two instances together. If you do, make certain your default browser preference is whichever version you're using, or another browser such as Firefox, so you can avoid two versions running together. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
