Don't download Safari 4.1, Download Safari 5.0. it's faster,
Both are based on the same WebKit, so they should be about the same speed. Which you use is more controlled by which OS you have. Safari 4.1 was released for Tiger. Safari 5 requires L/SL.
...So much for all those people claiming that Apple has abandoned Tiger. This is a nice drop - an updated browser AND a bunch of security fixes.
and for some reason it looks a bit like Safari 3. it really does. Safari 4 had the loading word in a box and a loading symbol next to it. Not it's back to the blue leading bar and loading circle at the right side on the address bar. Ironic, isn't it? It's like Apple ditched the "supposed" better looking safari 4 interface for good.
Yea, Safari 4.0.x had that lame "Loading" thing. Hated that. But Apple heard our cry in the dark... It's great to see the progress bar has returned!
I strongly recommend upgrading Safari and using the latest WebKit Nightly. The WebKit included in the Safari release is, as usually, weeks old. The latest Nightly build is yet-again faster. On the Sunspider tests, I'm seeing that it's often between .8 to 1.24 times faster.
