Death to the loading indicator! Give me back my separate reload button! Storm the Apple offices and demand a redesign!

For me the lack of a dropdown menu for RSS feeds ie Firefox, is still the only reason why I don't use Safari. Also is there any way to view the Top Sites page without the curvature? I' not a commander at the helm of an 80's spaceship you know...

"Though Apple deservedly promotes Full History Search as one of Safari 4’s biggest new additions, it’s oddly hard to find, accessible only through the Top Sites page. I would have liked to see a shortcut to it from the History menu, at least."
When you click Show All History in the History menu, you do get a search field. It's in the top right corner. I use it a lot. (And don't use Top Sites.) When you search, your cover-flow items contain only those pages that got a hit.

"And at nearly 80MB in size, Safari’s far bulkier than Firefox 3 (46MB), Firefox 3.5 (50MB), or Chrome (30MB). Still, Safari never felt slow to use, whether in loading or regular operation."
Just delete unused languages in Safari...
If you for instance only leave English, Safari will be only 15.4 MB...
Firefox is already english only and still 48MB...
so if you are monolingual and delete unused languages safari is much smaller then the rest..

Anyone else find that Safari 4 has trouble with youtube videos.
the always give me an error after the page loads. Most work if I load it a second time, but some never. Very annoying, and a pretty major cn for a browser. It;s only started happening since I moved up from the beta.

I was hoping Safari 4 would have solved the crashing browser problem, but since downloading it has crashed several times already. And Flash, as always, is a big problem (the use of Flash on the Time Magazine site is a joke). I guess it will take Apple a couple of updates to get all the bugs out and to make Safari 4 as stable as Safari 3 had become.

Love Safari 4, except for three things:
Need the blue loading bar back, a separate stop/reload button (it belongs on the left, not the right!) and tabs on top. All of these could - I think - be user preferences, and it'd be better that way anyway.
BTW, I do understand that the tabs on top violates some useability standards. Fine. It still makes Safari more usable for me.

Miss the snap back feature. Like to see it return.

The address field progress bar and reload button train wreck has been discussed at length in another thread:

Apple's Feedback page seems to have no link for Safari:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
I suppose you could use the link for Mac OS X. Or, like me, put the Report Bug button into the toolbar (Customize Toolbar under the View menu) and use that. I'd call the missing Reload button a major bug, considering the annoyance and the major break from established Web browser UI (it's been at the left of the address field in every browser since the first Netscape) -- for no good reason.

The loading indicator should be able to house the information stored in the status bar, just like Opera does where it says "Loading 17 of 35 items" since the "Loading..." isn't much for information. There wouldn't be as much need for the status bar at that point.
I'm not surprised that Safari 4 is the fastest since it and Chrome offer the least of any browsers, but that Chrome even in development state isn't faster.

I want per-site cookie control the way Konqueror has. Set the default cookie mode to "ask" and two lists are maintained, one of sites you accept cookies from, and another you deny. If a site is on either list you won't be asked again.

Hear, hear! to HandyMac's comments about the reload button trainwreck. It really mars an otherwise-excellent update! Harrumpf.

[tiborg]

Absolutely agree. I guess we were the only two users of that function.
