The tabs are upside down!

My thoughts too on those tabs.

In a way they are upside down. The tabs should be attached to the area they change. These almost look like they will change the toolbar and address field area rather than the actual HTML rendering area.

That said, I can see why they have done it that way as due the colour scheme of the metal look it wouldn't really work the other way round.

On the whole I think they look quite nice but I'm a little concerned we're going to end up with a new interface with every new app if this trend continues. That would be a bad thing!!!!!

I like the metal look but think Apple is creating a rod for its own back to a certain extent.

Has Steve got bored with Aqua?

This would justify Safari being brushed metal since with tabs it's a single window app ...

No specific hardware device relation though ...

But yes, the Aluminum PowerBooks. They even LOOK a bit like that.

this version of Safari keeps asking me for my password. Anyone else getting this?

Nope, not here. What password? The Admin password? If you keep getting this, look at its permissions, replace the binary and/or backup your prefs and delete them...

It works fine with me... goynang is right about the metal look, but maybe this is one limit of the metal concept, not everything must be metal... the colored button are not metal neither.

Another improvement would be to have the tabs behave like the dock: all small, only the one under the pointer in large... so that we can have tenths of tabs and still be able to read the current one. There was some 5 years ago a kind of experimental Finder at Apple that used this type on concept with kind of barrels to browse the files on a disk.

Have you seen that you can launch Safari 60 and Safari 62 at the same time... this was not possible with Explorer !
