It can also temporarily turn images off, which helps when you have a lot of browsing to do in a short time. [...]

Certainly a different perspective than my earlier bit… Not sure I would use what John finds so interesting though I guess I can appreciate the tech inside. I still can’t see myself paying for a browser at this point, which will be be a serious factor for Omni to be more than just [...]

The OmniWeb Beta is out today and I’ve been messing with it a bit…
Since it is built on WebKit, the same technology as Safari many feature and even key commands will be very familiar to Safari users. I like the addition of tabs within the sidebar, especially with the addition of a visual thumbnail, [...]

I’d love to see the addition of a warning for windows being open when you accidentally hit Apple+Q instead of Apple+W. Sometimes I move too quickly and lose a window full of open tabs… Mozilla asks if you are sure you want to close the XX tabs.

While I really like the manner in which bookmarks are handled, I’d like to see the search box have the ability to search your bookmarks and history file - or possibly the addition of a search box just for bookmarks. Firebird has this within the sidebar, another bit I would not mind see coming [...]

I’ve noticed that the autofill function in Safari seems to prefer that you press return or enter rather than click submit. I guess this makes some sense as the buttons could be programmed differently. When you hit return, you should see a dialog box asking whether you want to have the login info [...]

…Though not to release to us publicly just yet. Apparently they are frustrated that the builds (v62,64 67) have been quickly making the rounds. It would seem better for the product if more rather than fewer people were involved the way the Chimera/Camino team does with daily builds. This seems to enhance [...]

Safari v67 hit the ether yesterday and it is very close to being complete. The forms auto-fill and tab functionality are now within the preferences and work really well. Stability is solid and speed continues to be excellent.
One thing I would like to see as an option is open links from other applications [...]

I just realized this was possible though it has been sitting there all along.
If you have found a way to v64 of Safari you can choose to Control+Click on a folder in your Bookmark Bar and quickly open all the Bookmarks across the window as a tab set. Nice! I have [...]

The paragraph that takes the cake is the following:

There’s nothing particularly bad about the current state of browser technology–that is if you are frozen in a time warp, circa 1999. Internet browser design stopped being interesting years ago. That’s simply because Microsoft no longer faces any challenge that forces it to innovate. If Microsoft were [...]

Tabbed browsing and form AutoFill has made it into the latest internal beta of Safari, Spymac has learned.
The beta (v62) allows testers to open up new sites in elegant “tabs,” preventing the need to open multiple windows — though Tabbed Browsing has to be activated via the hidden debug menu.
