A Safe Boot is a walk in the park.
If you're not familiar with it, just start or restart while holding the Shift key for a minute or two.
This starts an fsck during the boot process and takes longer to start up than normal. After some point in time (and I don't know when that is) you can release the Shift key let the gray screen chug along, and then your Mac will boot into the Login window.
Login, immediately restart, and check out Safari.
I mention this because *each* time I upgraded to S4, 0.1, and 0.2, I had problems with it freezing shortly after launch. In each case I did a Safe Boot and there have been no further problems whatsoever.
