Installed with no problems at all.
I noticed it added some shortcuts on the favorites bar in Safari... 
Installed here. Running great.
Safari
SSL webpages (pages with URLs that start with "https://") load faster in Safari.
Thank goodness!
Are you going to post the .bom, Kickaha? 
I haven't even downloaded it yet! 
When I do though, yeah, I'll post a mess o' filenames. 
Awesome. Thanks!
btw, according to a reader report on XLR8yourmac.com, the latest version of Pozytron's AcidSearch crashes Safari on startup after the update. I think I'll hold off on installing it until a fix is posted.
well, Safari in 10.3.9 will not load pith helmet, I am sure I just need an update to pith r something, as I stopped using the Safari browser 5 hrs after taking my Mac out of the box - I use Fire fox because I find that it renders far faster, but I am giving Safari a second chance (and a 3rd once tiger rolls out).
EDIT: HOLY CRAP this is fast! safari is rendering faster than anything I have seen...wowsa...
2 weeks to go ... I think I'm gonna skip it.
cause it's so hard to click 'update' and install it...
