The one feature that I saw, but I'm not sure if it is new is the drag to duplicate window option. I'm tempted to try out Safari, but I think I'll wait until the second beta comes out and some bugs are fixed. ;)
I also wanted to let you know about some of the cool things going on over at the US' href='http://www.bumpzee.com/us-blogs/">US'>http://www.bumpzee.com/us-blogs/">US Blogs Community at Bumpzee. There is an RSS Feed which will give you snippets of every post in the community, both on blogs and in the community itself. Also, you can get a US Blogs button and a list of links to all the blogs in the community. As of now, we're up to 40 blogs, and it would be awesome if we could get the number doubled by the end of the month. It might seem to be daunting, but we've gone from none to 40 in the space of three weeks, so it's definitely possible. Be sure to tell all your blogging friends here in the States about it :)

That's not to say that I haven't flirted with other browsers. I used Camino for a while, tried out Opera, and I do use Firefox once in a while for some of the cool plugins that make my life better, such as the web developer plugin, and of course the Google PR plugin.
A few months ago, however, I was forced to ditch Safari. Increasingly, it got slower and slower, until frequently it would go into a frozen state for several minutes while it was having a moment to itself. I don't know what it was doing, but it would spin unresponsively for minutes. Eventually, it would usually come back, but I was usually forced to kill it and start again. I suspect these cycles of frequent freezing and killing was wreaking havoc on my keychain which would become corrupted pretty often as well.
Apple's release of the Safari 3.0 Beta has prompted me to give it another go.
After firing it up, I noticed NOTHING different. Everything looks the same. They probably should have changed something at the surface to make us feel like something happened! There's a list of changes, but I haven't studied it. It's more interesting to see what I notice. And there are in fact some changes.
After using if for a while, here's what I found to be different...
So far there have been none of the freeze-ups that I experienced before.
And the transition from private browsing to non-private browsing is also nice and quick. It used to take tens of seconds, or more, for it to do whatever it was doing before.
Very nice.
Hot!
So that's what I've discovered after a nice snappy day of working and browsing with Safari 3.0.
Download the Safari 3 Beta here and let me know what you think.
Safari Beta users, what other new features am I missing?
