Updating to 3.5.4 results in a crash on relaunch for me on one machine but not another (works fine there). Had to downgrade on the problematic machine. I read that certain sites can cause 3.5.4 to crash.
Might want to try and turn off session restore if you restart with lots of tabs open in case one of your open sites crashes the browser.
YMMV
Great browser with the power of add-ons. Wish Safari had it.
I purchased this as a sidenote replacement for Leopard. I paid $9.99 via MacZot.
I initially found it somewhat lacking but the developer quickly replied to my comments. A feature suggestion I made (changing the window height) even made it into this release.
IMO, it's priced too high for what it does and that will keep it out of the hands of most users.
Seems like a responsive, responsible developer, FWIW.
IMO, $9.99 - $12.99 is about what a basic notepad is worth, even one that slides out from the screen.
While S4 is pretty and is fast, the list of useful features, present on Firefox and still missing on Safari is too long.
For example, it's still missing crash protection/sessionrestore/preferences, the ability to automatically clear/reset the search bar area, the ability to add search engines to the search bar, the ability to change the way links, bookmarks or searches (etc) open in new tabs/same window/new window, etc.
In some ways, I find the UI regressive. Take "top sites" thumbnail view for example. How is a huge page of thumbnails that I need to mouse over to get any useful, descriptive information and that no one can read, more useful than a list (clear descriptions) of the same sites?
I'm glad so many people are pleased but I had to uninstall it.
This plugin crashes Safari after sleeping on a regular basis.
Since installing Safari has crashed every time my PowerBook wakes from sleep and the flash plugin is at the top of the list in crash reporter thread 0.
I wonder why this might be problematic for some and not for others?

The licensing terms are terrible, especially for a small developer.
Too bad.

The developer will tell you you're out of luck.
Neat little app but the dev says registration is only good for a specific machine.
You have to pony up more $$ for another license.
Lame policy for an otherwise useful app.

Great app otherwise.
