Thumbs down Safari 3.0 beta

Just what is so new about Safari 3.0? I'm using it right now and there appears to be NO new features. It looks just like Safari 2.0.

You're _looking_ too much instead of _using_ it. Drag around tabs: Great. Increase and decrease the input forms on webpages: Great. Drag tabs down or up to create their own windows: Great. Drag the tabs back: Great! There's other stuff as well. www.apple.com/safari has the overview.

The "new" version of Safari in Leopard has many new features. I think this is the solution Apple came out with to allow developers without access to Mac's, to develop and test websites, and iPhone Web 2.0 apps they may be building. Since Leopard was delayed until October, Apple has released a "beta" version (or scaled down version) of the up and coming browser in 10.5 for public testing.

It does seem faster than the older one, but then again... it could be the power of suggestion.

OK, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you could drag tabs up and down to create new windows, that is VERY cool. Can I ask something else? On apple.com/safari/ it shows a Safari window on 10.4 (I'm presuming because it has the 10.4 dock), and it has the "cool new itunes metal" look. Yet on my mac, I still have the old dull boring brushed metal look. How come windows users get the cool new metal look and mac users don't?!

it actually uses brushed metal in 10.4.9, that's right. i don't mind much, just looking forward to leopard. ... oh, and another cool feature: inline search done _right_. this is much better than how it's done in firefox etc. i'm a happy camper. now if only they'd release the same beta with all os x languages and not just english...

You can change the look from brushed metal if you have the developer tools installed.

I haven't figured out snapback yet. Anyone have a clue?

very old feature. if you go to, say, www.macosx.com, then www.macosx.com/forums, snapback hits you back to www.macosx.com. Something like that. Haven't seen or used it in ages, though.

I guess you're right, I just found it in the search field which I never use, it's nothing new. They must be promoting it for Windows users.
