Brief Hands-On Report--Safari 3.1

Apple released Safari 3.1 on Tuesday this week and it is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

This update is recommended for all Safari users and features improvements to stability, compatibility, JavaScript performance and security.

I downloaded and installed Safari 3.1 via Software Update on a number of Macs (MacBook Air, Mac Pro(2008), 24" white iMac Core 2 Duo(10.4.11), PowerMac G4 Cube, PowerBook G4) with no problem. After a couple of days surfing, no problems were encountered. The only thing I noticed that is fixed is that the Web site icons in bookmarks all now automatically reappear again after a restart or shutdown. [Bill Fox]
