If you’re not ready to get Lion yet, you can still download the version of Safari included with Lion. Safari 5.1 is available for download for both Snow Leopard and Windows.

[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]The version of Safari included with Lion sports some Lion-specific support for features like full-screen browsing, but the new release sports new features, too. Among them, Apple lists:

• Reading List: Easily add webpages and links to your Reading List to browse when you have time.
• New Process Architecture: Safari has been re-engineered for improved stability and responsiveness.
• Resume: In the General pane of Safari preferences, you can now choose to launch Safari with the windows from your last browsing session.
• Better Privacy: A new Privacy pane in Safari preferences makes it easy to remove data that websites can leave on your system.

(And for you luddites still running Leopard, Apple has recently released Safari 5.0.6, with “stability, compatibility and security” improvements.)
