Best Safari 4 retro tip I’ve seen comes from Isaac D. Lim to add a reload button to Safari 4’s bookmarks bar, which was moved by Apple. It’s still there, but inside the Frankensteinesque URL bar. Lim’s tip is simple. Drag one of his five Javascript icons to the Safari 4 bookmarks bar. Presto, new icon button to reload the page.
Many people love the redesigned and ‘cleaned-up’ UI of Apple’s Safari 4, which had its Beta tag removed during Phil Schiller’s WWDC Keynote. I, for one however, just hate two things: the unnecessary “Add Bookmark” plus button attached to the left of the URL bar, and the relocation of the stop/reload button to the left of the URL bar. Not that it is a fundamental design flaw, but after years of being used to Safari 3’s button arrangement, change is hard.
The icons are available on TheQuantumByte.
