Safari 3 started up a whole lot faster than Safari 4 final and it’s been annoying me up until now. Disable some of the rather useless eyecandy for Safari 4 to restore the more speedier Safari:
Bring back old progress bar, this I don’t do for speed but because the old one actually showed PROGRESS which the new one does not
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool FALSE No go, doesn’t work :(
Disable bookmarks cover flow. Who uses bookmarks anyway?
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool FALSE
Get rid of Top Sites. Cool but useless feature.
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites -bool FALSE
Just copy and paste the italic text into terminal and hit enter and reboot Safari 4. Voila, feel free to clock the difference, it is noticeable faster at least for me.
