| Safari with Tabs.... Yes, the leaked builds of v62 do feature Tabs and AutoForms Complete, enabled via the Debug menu. The tabs work quite well. They are not as aesthetically pleasing as the tabs in Chimera, but they are more functional, as each tab has a close button to the left of the text. Quite nice. However, Tabbed Groups, one of the main reasons I use tabs, are not present yet. Time will tell if they will be implemented at all... I haven't been able to get AutoForms Complete working, however. But the fact that the debug menu shows it means that it's being worked on...

| Also of note regarding speed: Chimera still loads pages faster. Safari seems to be faster at rendering Cached pages though. Also, Safari is much faster at scrolling than Chimera. I don't know if this will improve in Chimera when they move to the newer Mozilla rendering engine trunk...

| I find the tabs in Safari quite appealing, really. At least better than using the tabs that Chimera uses, because they seem like an unintended use of Preferences Tabs to me... Integrates well with Safari...

| I too must agree... I really like the tabs in Safari. That would be the last thing I would ask Apple to work on. I think Apple got a bit upset about all the work they put into the brushed metal look and how people where aquifying it (a bit odd since they also created that look, should have two options... maybe later on) Now they seem to frown upon the reaquification of safari. Mydemetalizer won't undo the brushed metal tabs so it looks a bit akward... oh, well.

 .. heh. Okay now I whine I want it to be at least at fast as boosted Chimera and I want all the .. err.. personalizations I've done to Chimera as well in it. I can't use Safari besides on password protected Woltlab bbs - I can't log in!! - So at the moment my second browser is iCab. Now Chimera crashes so little it doesn't disturb me. So when it'll be more stable, work with Woltlabbs and be at least as fast as my Chimera, I'll consider ..

| IMO, Safari would be simply awesome with tabbed pages held in a drawer. I don't like the look of the tabs in those screenshots; they are too rectangular, single-tone, hard-to-read, and boring, and the close buttons should be aqua widgets. Seriously, though, wouldn't you like to hold your tabbed pages in a drawer? Maybe a separate drawer for popups or something? New windows roll out to the right, popups from the bottom...
