Hidden Settings in Safari 4

[Ricardo-san]

Safari 4 Beta is great...I love Top Sites, and the new speed. However, I missed that blue loading bar up top and just couldn't get used to that spinning wheel that does nothing...so here's how to get it back. Enter the following two commands in Terminal.

DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign and DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO

Some other useful settings.

DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList
Goes back to original autocomplete menu.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList -bool NO

DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest
Turns off the new Google suggest menu.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest -bool NO

DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView
Removes CoverFlow.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool NO

DebugSafari4TopSitesZoomToPageAnimationDimsSnapsho t
Disables the dimming when you click on a Top Site and it scales the screenshot up to fill the screen.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TopSitesZoomToPageAnimationDimsSnapshot -bool NO

DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites
Disables Top Sites.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites -bool NO

Clears Recent Searches

defaults delete com.apple.safari RecentSearchStrings

Hope this helps you folks using the best browser in the world.

Very cool! +rep
I moved this to the tutorial section. I'm still waiting on the final release of S4.

That is interesting, but I am not a huge fan of safari.

Same here...the beta seems to have memory leakage problems on Flash or AJAX heavy sites. Even large animated GIFs can cause it to crash...

Are you using the Win version?
