Safari Beta II, the return of the tabs.

bassi · 04-14-2003, 12:03 PM

Not that tabs were there in the first place.

So the official beta 2 release is out. How's it working for you?

30 min later:

Well, first impressions are excellent, the tabs functionality seems to be on par with Camino. Autofill is working well. A couple of oddly rendered pages I visit have been fixed. Fassssst! With two windows and 10 tabs in total, it took about a minute to pull the pages down on my DSL connect at home, even with some piddly javascript stuff to crunch. All with a Ti400. I like it.

Works great, seems a bit faster than v71, and the autofill is a little more intelligent as well (though that may be my imagination).

I'd like to open any active link, lets say in NetNewsWire or Mail, in a new tab in the current active window in Safari rather than create a new window. Is this possible?

Some new applescripts available for safari.
(bassi, one of the scripts will combine windows into one window with tabs, which *very indirectly* does sorta what you want.)

*edit*
bassi, try this:
Safari preferences -> General: Open links from applications: in the current windows [SELECTED]

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you.

AKcrab - thanks for the great detective work on that tabs issue! mervTormel indicated you were the original poster - so I just wanted to thank the originator. Been looking for that one for a while!

What do I need to do to use any of the Safari betas after 60. It seems that when ever I load a page, the text is HUGE. It first started happening when I would open a page in tabbed. I figured the bug was gone since Apple went beta. Please tell me there is something wrong on my end, that I can fix. Thanks.

Thanks, funny thing is, the second time I opened beta2, it seemed to work fine, except it hard a time opening macfixit. Anyway, I followed the the advice in the article, just to be sure.

Thanks again.

So, as a part time PC user I was using Firefox on my PC to check out the Safari site.

I was considering the benefits of switching from Firefox to Safari. I use Firefox on both the MacBook Pro and the PC and really think it kicks arse.

That was, until this made me change my mind-
Firefox crashed at that exact moment! haha

You've gotta see it to appreciate how perfect it was. Notice the site in the background?
