Safari Beta 2 Available

pldms writes "Safari Beta 2 is available via Software Update or from the Safari page. This is build 73, for those who've had 'exclusive' access to previous development versions since beta 1 ;-) The blurb: 'Safari Beta 2 introduces tabbed browsing to conveniently see and switch between multiple web pages in a single window, and AutoFill to instantly fill out web forms and password fields. This update also features increased standards compatibility and improved application stability.'" I had to set Lax Certificate Checks in the Debug menu to use it with Slashdot ... and its secure cookie check is still quite broken (either saves secure cookies without the secure flag, or sends out secure cookies to insecure sites, which would violate RFC 2965 where it says "no less than the same level of security").

  1. It's in Software Update even if manually installed by Nutrimentia · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I got it from Apple's site to start with. It looks and feels like v71, but I've only played with v73 for 10 half an hour. I just checked SoftwareUpdate and the update shows up, even with the manual installation running. We'll see what happens when I run it.

  2. Ummm... by bmj · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Is it just me, or did anyone else get a version of Safari that works exactly like the last Software Update release? I check the info, and it says v.73, but alas, no tabbed browsing, or any other neat-o features....
