Safari is pretty great out of the box, but tabbed browsing is pretty useful and surely it will be added. Mozilla's tabbed browsing works beautifully even if the poor thing is slow as a turtle (insult to turtles). Not sure why some don't care for tabs. Isn't it a better alternative to having a zillion windows open?

It definately is better than having multiple windows open.
So far I have only one complaint. I wish it would remember it's place on the desktop after you close it out. I leave my dock visable all the time and when I relaunch Safari it's way down at the bottom of the screen. Otherwise it's fast, fast, fast!
<strong>I might be the only one concerned about this, but Chimera is the only browser that will split the bookmark bar into two rows if there are too many to fit into one row. That's the only thing keeping me from switching from Chimera. (sad isn't it?).</strong><hr></blockquote>
That's what I initially thought too. I have two rows, as well, but once I played around with the submenus in Safari, I'm a changed man. I think that it's easier to navigate with five menus each with several items than twenty bookmarks.
Give it a shot.
And I wanna see this aqua Safari. Since I don't have Dev tools installed, nor do I really want to, could someone post the changed file somewhere? Or just PM me and I'll give you my email. Thanks!
Also, it seems as if the page just falls off the bottom of the window. Is this standard UI? Should there be a 'buffer zone' there? I don't really like it that way . . . I'm so used to a little progress bar there.
One more thing: Does Safari have encription in it yet? Is it safe for online purchases? I don't see a lock icon . . .

go to View menu and select Status Bar. Looks nicer, and you can see what a link is by hovering over it
A problem I have noticed is that mouse wheel acceleration does not work. It works on all of my other browsers. The function is built into my Logitech, so I hope they will soon fix this. (I have a dual optical).

It appears in the very top right corner on the metal; it's a black lock. You don't seem to be able to get any info on the level of security or certificates though.
Someone already mentioned the View > Status Bar thing but there it is again. That'll give you the bottom buffer.

Someone mentioned a haxie. There is a small little utility from the great folks at Unsanity call Metallifizer. It works only with Cocoa apps(programs only for OS X). It will add the brushed look or remove it. It is free. You can get it at <a href="http://www.unsanity.com/products.php"; target="_blank">Unsanity Product Page</a>
They have a bunch of great little utilities for the Mac geek in us all.
HA! foad! Funny how we took the exact same picture and even named the image the same thing <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> We even had the same Apple bookmark thing in the toolbar highlighted!

Way faster than IE or OW on my dial-up connection, too!

Edit-not sure if favicons is the word I want, but on CNN.com, theres a little CNN icon in the address bar.

But with all the threads I gotta read after a keynote like that, I NEED tabbed browsing right now.

hope the address this very soon
Next: Does anyone know how to actually use Rendevous Bookmarks? They don`t transfer at all on my LAN. Anyone?
