10.6: Run Safari 4 Beta in Snow Leopard
Authored by: wilshire367 on Jun 13, '10 12:58:06AM

I used this forum to get safari 4 beta on snow Leopard as I like the tabs on top and have been using safari 4 beta for a while but downloaded Safari 5 a few days ago which is nice but I still like the beta 4 safari tabs on top and the space it gave me but the version.plist and info.plist from safari 5 won't work with safari 4 beta has anyone any fixes or is this the end of tabs on top as I have not a back up on time machine.

Hi there,

Sorry i didn't answer sooner!
You don't need to change any of the plist files inside the app....

Just download the version of the App linked below and follow the instructions (basically you just need to duplicate the file called "com.apple.Safari.plist", and call the new one "com.apple.Safari_beta.plist", move the application Safari_beta to your Applications folder, and you're ready to go!!)

Be Well!

Peter I changed the plist to safari4_beta and it worked and to my surprise feels faster then safari 5 I have put the blue progress bar back with safari 4 buddy and it's a really nicer blue color then safari 5 .Changed the icon from green to blue but it always comes up green when your asked do you want to close tabs in the warning can't get Glims to work it will only work on safari 5 but I do love the tabs on top and I love the design the way the tabs expands to fit how many tabs are open .Like I said I don't know if putting in a 4 to get it load was good but it works.Thanks
