Safari 4 Beta

Well, today I downloaded the beta of Safari 4 and in general I liked it. The cover flow style history was particularly cool. However, there are some things I didn’t like–mostly interface related. Here are some settings that can change things back to Safari 3 style things. (I’m not using all of these, just some.)

From the terminal, these commands will change things:

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop 0

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView 0

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList 0

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest 0

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign 0

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle 0

I’m using the bottom two because I don’t like being forced to have a “add bookmark” button on my bar and I’m not loving the placement of the stop/reload button in the new setup. On top of that I like the blue progress loading thing.
