10.4: Retain old WebKit with Safari 3 Public Beta
Authored by: danielj7 on Jun 29, '07 03:40:44PM

There's an even easier solution: extract Safari.app using Pacifist into ~/Applications. That is the Applications folder in your home directory (create it first if it doesn't exist). When Webkit.app is launched, it searches for Safari.app in ~/Applications first, then /Applications. This way you don't need to touch /Applications/Safari.app at all, which otherwise could be damaged by a software update.

This should be the least invasive way to have both Safari 2 and 3 installed at the same time.

I followed danielj7's suggestion, going one step further: I installed both Webkit and Safari in ~/Applications/. Lauching webkit.app does fire up Safari 3, and everything seems to work.

This is definitely the ideal approach, as you don't overwrite anything.

Thanks for this.

I've found that Safari needs to be directly in the ~/Applications folder, and not some sub-directory of it.
