Safari with Tabs (v62 - v71)

[toast]

Still, I want Grouped Tabs ! I won't use Safari if I can't open my Forums tabgroup, ie. my five macosx.com rooms + desktoppublishing.com/boards + Carracho boards + xicons.com in one click !
I also want to be able to do the same with my News tabgroup.

Picture says it all. Done in one click, one. Ha ! Beat this, Safari !



If Safari gets tabgroups one day… I'll surrender.

i second the "tabs in a drawer" idea. i think it makes for a much cleaner interface too. the tabs along the top, although common, are ugly in all browsers imho.

tabs in a drawer sounds ugly to me. I think of a drawer like mail and can't see how it would work for Safari. I kind of like the tabs as they are now.

HOWEVER:
This is not even a public version yet. Maybe this is their first attempt and they haven't put a lot of thought into design yet. Maybe they are starting with functionality. That's what i do when i build thing. I make them work, then make them pretty. We shouldn't complain to much as it's not available yet.

no complaints. i'll take tabs however i can get em. but there are always personal tastes. when i think of drawer type tabs i think of how proteus handles multiple chat sessions. i like it.

1. Safari rocks, but it has no tabs.
2. Okay, it's getting tabs, but it has no tabgroups.
3. Ooookay, but...

Believe me, Safari is worth watching. The development since the first public beta is enormous. I'd love there to be a way to get those betas officially, but that's not the Apple way. CVS or at least nightly builds (since it's not open source) would be cool, but with new betas every few weeks, we actually SEE the progress better, I believe.

Yea, i agree, with Nightlies, in the past, often features that were implemented weren't noticed, but with fewer updates, you really can see Noticable differences between current, and previous builds!

On a side note, i've never really used Chimera "That" much, and coming from the Dark side, not so long ago, umm... Tabs was still growing on me! ... i never realised it sorted the tabs into groups! Neat Feature! I really like the look of the tabs, and the "X" on the tab; to close a tab, is something i saw as common sense, that was lacked from Chimera ... an extra Right Click was needed!

...Anyhow, yes, with Autofill as well, this browser sure is coming on, in leaps and bounds!

Safari tabs as shown above look great, but why aren't the tabs attached to the pages ?

When I look in my old paper cards, tabs are attached to specific pages, not to some upper "something"

I asked myself that, too. But I actually like how it looks, because like this it belongs to the UI (the 'metal parts', the 'hardware') instead of the 'screen':



Maybe they're still going to change this feature, though. It's not like it's already been evolved much...
