i hope apple focuses on getting stuff like 'border-collapse' and other such CSS commands working right before they spend more time on this stuff...

that said, i think the tabs are functional and pretty ^_^. i hope they support drag/drop soon.

Hm. Those up-pointing tabs make me wonder... Might they look better if located BELOW the browser area? Perhaps they could make top-vs-bottom selectable, kinda like the Dock location...

Wow. Are people still obsessing over this? Apple has been shipping a one button mouse for a lot longer than Microsoft (or their hardware partners) have been shipping two+ buttons. Cripes. That's just the way it is. And if Apple ever ships a two button mouse then everyone will start complaining that it doesn't have three...

You really find the Chimera tabs to be more attractive? I've never much cared for them because I think they take up too much space and are too "fancy." I greatly prefer Safari's implementation where the tabs are simpler, take up less space and have smaller text. I think it is much more graceful, especially because it leaves me more space for the page I want to look at.

<em>I'm the guy that has always set his browsers to use only text in the button bar rather than icons so as to save space in the main window.</em>

I think more people would complain that it DOES have two buttons... anyway just buy a two button mouse ... I don't think you could even buy a non apple single button mouse :P ::erk thread going down the drain::

Oh gods no. Do you really want to turn the browser into some sort of bizarre circus of windows and drawers and inspectors sprawling across the screen? Maybe you have a the 23" Cinema display and can afford this sort of thing, but I cannot. I much prefer my browser to take up as little room as possible and to keep everything contained in one window. What you suggest seems to me to be a horrendous perversion of a very clean and simple browser.

No, they definitely should not.

Kind offf topic....

Two button mice ROCK! Apple should change. I know i can just buy one (which i did) but i think Mac swould be even easier for the first time user (or switcher) if they had right clicks.
