Description
In this tutorial, I show you how and where to get the Safari 5 Final Build from Apple, as it is being officially rolled out today!! There are a number of noteable changes to Safari 5, including the layout, which I can compare to Google Chrome [Safari 4 vs Google Chrome Coming Soon?] So enjoy this tutorial and enjoy the fastest web browser for Windows! By the way, I performed the Acid3 test on the Safari 4 Beta - a procedure neccesary for every web browser! It scored a perfect 100/100 on the test on it's first try, proving that Apple really did make some webkit changes in Safari 5! Also, this browser is VERY FAST! This solves the problem of how to get the progress bar back in Safari. They've brought it back by itself!
