Hi all!
I now have Safari 3 on my system as well. Downloaded it last night,
after my roommate & I listened to the Keynote address.
Yes, I must say this new Safari is different - less "busy" than the
previous version, and something else -- VO now announces the titles
of frames, and identifies where headings are! IT doesn't, however,
distinguish between a "level-1" heading, or a "level-6" heading, &
you have to interract with the heading (VO only identifies them as
"Heading") to see what it is, but nonetheless, this is something
quite different from past versions!
Another thing you'll notice is that these behaviors seem to apply to
all HTML rendered on your Mac. I noticed headings were identified in
Shiira, and when you interract with the HTML content in Skype, the
frame it encounters is identified as "Chat Frame". All this might be
one, of several reasons, why the computer has to restart to complete
the installation of the Safari 3 Beta.
One other thing I might have noticed was, when I found the search
box on Wikipedia, VO identified it as a search edit box, and when I
looked to see if it had a Help Tag, it did. Was that something new,
does anyone know, or has that always been the case?
Only one problem I've encountered, so far. A particular website I
frequent, is laid out in four frames. If I turn "Group items on Web
Page" off, and I interract with the second frame of the site, VO
seems to have trouble (I think?) but it seems to behave, just fine,
if that option is turned on. Lately, I've been using the grouping
option, almost exclusively, and it does seem to improve the browsing
experience, for the most-part.
Anyone else noticed any other new VO-related stuff with the new
Safari which I haven't discovered yet? If so, please do tell!

Hi folks,
I now have Safari 3 on my computer. I think you will find it
different, but better. It is much snappier than it was. I have
Shiira and Sunrise on this computer which were both faster than
Safari, but that is no longer the case.
Give it a try.
