Safari 3 New features
What new features have you discovered in Safari 3?
So far I found the following:
- The Find feature (Command+F) looks alot like Spotlight and it has next/previous buttons. The found content is clearly visible.
- At the bottom-right corner of a multi-line text-box there are two diagonal lines, pull them and the box will re-size. Very nice.
- Bookmarks has a Spotlight search thing too.
And you?

Also, in the file menu, new "Mail contents of this page" and "Mail link" commands.
(Not sure if that was in 2.0 or not)
You can use the ⌘ key and the 'forward' or 'backward' buttons to create an instant tab of the resulting page.

It was. Command-click ANY link and it will tab that link.
SnapBack, the little orange arrow visible in the right of the address bar, will return you to the last page you manually navigated to. By manual navigation, I mean that you did not click a link to get there. For instance, a bookmark or a typed address like www.appleinsider.com is manual, and will not trigger SnapBack. But if you click the correct links and find your way to this topic, clicking SnapBack will take you back to that original bookmark or page. Great for forum viewing or deep histories in which you find yourself hitting "Back" several times.
Re-open from last session could be handy if you crashed too. Definitely loving the new find - much easier to actually see the word you were looking for.
The new WebKit does seem to screw up bold text though. Checked the '(news: Block ads with a free Member account!)' line at the very to of MacUpdate for example - it's a bit difficult to read. You can see the same thing in bold text in Mail now too, rather annoying.
Form buttons often look a bit different too now - although I'm not sold on this since there is no uniformity anymore.
window s3 does not work in that regard either.
have to go back to s2
window s3 does not work in that regard either.
How do you go back to Safari 2?
Anybody get Safari 3 to run on a Sawtooth or similar PPC mac? I installed it and when I launched it, it wouldn't even connect to a single site.
Works good on my upgraded Sawtooth...

uninstall s3. the uninstaller comes w/ s3 packages. very glad that apple provided that. after installed s3, noticed there was uninstaller. later when i wanted to fallback to s2, searched apple site, no way to find out where s2 was. luckily s3 package window is still around and found my precious: s3 uninstaller...
Does it finally have a real history and download window? Jesus it's been years. Those two things are basic...err Netscape from over a decade ago probably had better History and Download windows.
What's missing from their current implementations. I think they do the job quite well.
I'm finding the 'Merge all windows' menu command quite useful too, since I like my tabs.
oooooooooooo Didn't catch that one!! Neat!!
I like the new Find word feature too. I can actually find the word on the screen I am looking for instead of a lame highlight.
