Apple has released Safari 5.0.3 with, in addition to the requisite slew of security fixes, improvements to the Top Hit results that appear as you type in the address bar, more-accurate Top Sites, and more-reliable pop-up blocking. Also included are fixes for an issue with Flash 10.0, behavior when typing in search boxes on Facebook and Netflix, and improved stability for JavaScript-intensive extensions and VoiceOver integration. Apple also released Safari 4.1.3 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger with roughly the same fixes. (Free, 37.58 MB for Snow Leopard, 46.74 for Leopard, 29.46 MB for Tiger)
Thoughtful, detailed coverage of the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, plus the best-selling Take Control ebooks.
Adding Links in Snow Leopard's Mail
Apple Mail in Snow Leopard now has a Command-key shortcut for adding a link to an email.
If you use plain-text email, this will not be helpful at all, but if you send styled email, it's a nice shortcut for adding URLs to your email messages. Simply select the word(s) you want to make into a link, press Command-K, and enter the URL to build into the link.

My workplace is stuck at 10.4.7 for the forceable future. Browsing is a real pain. I tried all the usual suspects and still get hammered by Java and Flash problems. I'd love it if there was a stripped down version of Safari out there.
Any tips? TIA

The current version of Firefox still supports OS X 10.4 as does Opera.

Google Chrome requires 10.5 and I haven't seen a current Webkit-based browser that supports earlier than that.
