I think he means lightweight as in simple, not lightweight as in "doesn't bog down the system." I don't think I'm concerned about any browser bogging down the system, other than maybe Netscape 6 *shudder*. But it is nice to have a browser that is ONLY a browser and isn't too complicated. So OmniWeb, Safari, Camino, Internet Explorer, Opera, and iCab are all just plain browsers, while Mozilla and Netscape are internet application suites. Of course, some of the "just browsers" are lighter than others - Camino, OW and Safari are all simpler and more straightforward than IE, Opera and iCab.
a) When you open an image (from a link) then you go to download image to disk, it re downloads the image again even tho its sitting on your screen !! why doesnt it do it from cache? or am I missing a setting somewhere?
b) better cookie handling (like omniweb has)
c) other content serving options (blocking images from diff sites to one visiting, i.e. gain like omniweb has)
-Better right-click menu...I'd like 'open page in new window'
-More robust Preferences...esp in the area of Security and Cookies
-An option to make 'new window' links open in a tab.
Tabs
I had never used tabbed browsing before. To tell you the truth, I couldn't understand what all the buzz was about. Well after 24 hrs of tabs, I won't go back. I think its great!
Maybe I just need to get used to the keyboard short-cut, but cmd-shift-arrow seems awkward to me. Oh well, minor gripe.
....Safari should remain simple because there aren't any lightweight browsers anymore...everyone is trying to cram in their competitor's features plus a few unique features making every browser way too similar.
Safari should just be simple. Just like the iApps.
Couldn't agree more. I hope from now on they concentrate on bug fixing rather than adding features. I don't mind the tabs and it's nice to have auto-fill but as it's now I don't miss anything except better java support and more stability.
a) sort bookmarks either alphabetically or by site adress, etc. preferably by clicking on the corresponding column header in bookmarks palette.
b) the ability to open new tabbed browser sessions from single bookmark menu items (you can do this with single bookmarks on the bookmarks bar but not if they are contained in folders on the bookmarks bar)
c) the ability to make the browser truly aqua. i.e. be able to minimise/hide the control icons as well as have the aqua look.
d) the ability to view the bookmarks palette under a tab
Is their any way to click on a link and have it open in a tab, instead a window?
I know that I can Command-Click, but for leaning on one elbow with my face an inch from the screen browsing, this would be very convienint i'm so lazy.
I see one -- and just one -- flaw with tabs: the loading status. Although that little rotating circle on loading tabs is nice, I'd like a mini loading bar on the top of each tab. Nothing fancy-- just a discreet little bar. Either that, or have it so when your pointer rolls over a tab, the main Web address bar displays the loading status.
Did you know that command-dragging a link will make a nice little window that shows the title and URL of the link you're dragging? It's kewl! And it's useful in case you want to hide the status bar at the bottom and still be able to see the location of a link before clicking it.
For example if i load hotmail safari knows my email-adress, but the site tells me it doesn't exist and that i have to check my spelling, but it's written ok.
Something with keychain access?
Should i clear them first so i can re-set my keychains?
Wow I'm in Mozilla 1.4a. Impressive now it has sheets etc. Anyway..
One REAL cool thing I noticed in Prefs is Mouse Wheel behavior (tho it didn't work for me.) For example when you hold a modifier key down you can set it to increase/decrease text size, go back or forward, etc. Safari should have this.

Not for long - Mozilla is about to be replaced with Phoenix.
- I also want to drag text from a page into the google bar or address bar
-Ability to customize the toolbar
-Check as you type on by default
-Resumable downloads
-Better right-click menu...I'd like 'open page in new window'

You don't have to hold Command
