Only one downside to Safari Tabs
 

Like others have mentioned, I use tabs a lot because I have multiple sites that I like to view simultaneously.

The only downside is that links opened from other apps can only spawn new windows but not new tabs.

not true.

in the general pref pane:

open links from applications: (o) in the current window

then the page opens in a new tab in the current window.

It would be nice if links within an html page opened in tabs though.

You're right! I didn't even try that, just assumed that it didn't. Thanks. That tip made my day.

Ahh, why didn't any one tell me if I control click a link it will open in a new tab??

Because they would be telling an untruth. Control clicking a link brings up the contextual menu whereas command clicking opens in a new tab ;)

I hadn't been a fan of tabs until i read this thread, formerly when reading threads in a forum, i'd open thiem in a new window, so i'd end up with 10 or so windows open.

now i go through the new posts, open every thread i want to read in a new tab, and have a nice row of tabs of all the threads. by the time i've finished opening tabs, the first ones have loaded and i can start reading. less messy windows everywhere and no waiting around.

and apple-shift-left/right and apple-click: keystroke heaven.

thanks everyone
