Having read the reviews I was expecting to have problems, so I installed it on a spare partition with OSX 10.49 on it.

Initially I was somewhat underwhelmed, ok so sites generally load slightly faster, but everything else just seems the same as the previous Safari. I have used Omniweb for the last couple of months and have enjoyed it, I find it faster than Safari ad generally more compatible, for those sites that Omniweb wont let me use I switch to Firefox.

Good news is:
Works much as before, slightly faster and no real problems installing or running it, from the comments previously posted it would appear that any Safari "Hacks" need to be removed prior to installation. However on a normal users Mac, this should install fine.
No Crashes or "undocumented features" as of yet.

Bad News is:
Nothing looks or feels any different.
It replaces previous Safari, (I thought it might install as additional Safari so you could compare them side by side).
