This is still my favorite browser for OS X. It has tabbed browsing which Safari does not (officially) and it implements it better than Safari (unofficially). The biggest thing I need in Safari is the ability to open pages in new tabs from external apps, notably Mail and NetNewsWire.

I’m trying to use Safari as much as possible, but end up spending most of my time in Chimerino. The new versions seems a little faster, but I don’t know whether I’m getting the vaunted 15% or not.
After switching back and forth between Safari & Camino, I’m not sure I’m ready to do without tabs (depite being able to bookmark groups of windows in Safari). I’m not sure it has to be tabs as currently implemented, though. I haven’t given this idea proper consideration, but it certainly looks like it warrants it.

I have to say that I love Camino too. I tried out Safari for a week or so when it first came out, but there were just enough sites that I hit regularly that didn’t quite work right. I’ve been downloading the nightly builds of Camino for the last few months and it just seems to keep getting better. I also dig the download manager thingy.

jh, why do you feel you should try and use Safari? It isn’t morally wrong to not use it ;).

I’m now using Safari, since the v64 brought a lot of tabs improvements. Really a lot.

Jeff —- Poor choice of words on my part, maybe (or, if it is a sin not to use Safarai, it’s probably only a venal sin, not a cardinal sin ;-). I should probably have said that I’m keeping an eye on Safari; it seems clear that it could evolve in some interesting ways and I’d like to follow it along as it does.
A.L. —- v64? Now where did you get that…?

I’m trying to go on safari as much as possible, but end up spending most of my time in the casino. The new jeeps seem a little faster, but I’m not sure whether I’m getting the vault’s 15% or not.
After switching back from safari to the casino, I’m not sure I can do without the guns. Despite being able to take out groups of giraffs on safari, I’m not sure it has to be guns as currently implemented. I haven’t given this idea proper consideration, but it certainly looks like it warrants it.

Well, v64 is not a public beta, like the v62. Hem. But on the download page of a dot com website with a name like deepapple, or something like this, “hypothecally speaking”, you may find this.
Tabs now close from left to right, logical, open in “a tab behind a current one” on Cmd+click, and not Cmd+Shift+Click, etc. And a “open in tabs” option for the bookmarks folder.
But it isn’t public. :)

A.L. —- I guess if this beta existed then you would want to type something like
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1to enable tabs, right? Hypothetically speaking, of course.
Posted by A. L. 2003.03.15, 22:01
Yes, in the Terminal. And you can disable the Debug menu (defaults write… 0), when “tabbed browsing” has been enabled.

Thank god it hypothetically fixes the CSS rendering bug where 1px dotted borders rendered as dashes.

feck off, would you please respond to a yank, for fecks sake?

Huh?
Anyway, Jeff, I think your question was, Why do you feel you should try and use Safari?
It took me a while to get used to it — at first I found it a little ‘stripped-down.’ It’s now, however, the browser in I spend most of my time.

You can get to the Camino page like the rest of the Mozilla sites: getcamino.com
