NoScript I mean.

Also would like to see FlashBlock, PDF Download, TinyURL Generator, ColorZilla.

And some toolbars for sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, etc.

I would also like to see the Web Developer Extension and NoScripts ported.

I suffered with this DNS prefetching issue introduced with Safari 5.0. Ended up abandoning Safari for Firefox (where at least I can disable DNS prefetch). I was all excited to see the update, but after a bit of testing of 5.01 I am sorry to report it does not fix the problem for me. If I were to jump to cable from DSL my problem would probably go away, but why??? After several weeks of talking to my ISP I gave up.

I am a hardware engineer and I call this DNS prefetch feature "excess cleverness" and there should be a "user" switch for us to turn the so called improvement OFF!!!

Safari 5.01 still feels sluggish. Just selecting a new tab takes longer than it should. It doesn't have the snap of Chrome, my browser of choice.

That's good to know, Mike. I have to say that as only an occasional Safari user I hadn't come across that problem.

It also seems to fix a nasty problem with DNS overload with some routers. Since 5.0 came out, I've been unable to get Open in Tabs to work with more than about four websites at a time. More than that gave DNS error messages. With this update, that seems to have gone away.
