There is no AwesomeBar or equivalent in Safari. For example, try to write "super mumbo bambo bear" in the adressfield and press enter. Will it use the search engine to search for it? No. Safari still use a separate search bar and adressfield. Merge them and you have the beginning of an awesomebar.
Got a tip for us?

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but it's a handy trick you might like.
Click the 'show all bookmarks' button in the bookmarks bar
Drag all the bookmarks and folders out of the bar on the left onto your desktop
Now drag them all back in from your desktop
They should all now be in alphabetical order

For whatever reason, my Safari 5 install is garbage and runs super slow, especially when it comes to retrieving a site. Using the built in google search bar usually always results in the connection timing out. I can switch over to Firefox and be fine. Weird. Guess I should try to reinstall?
I agree with you in that theres no reason for Apple to not allow ad blockers. But doing good business [Apple way] is not about hurting the competition. Apple has no need to start trying to back-stab Google
.
Will Safari extensions automatically detect when there's an update available and offer to install all updates at once, as in Firefox? If not, that's a pretty big drawback, no one wants to have to manually hunt down and separately install updates for all their extensions.
I would be satisfied with one that hides posts about iPhone 4 issues.
Yes, you can enable automatic updating in Safari's preferences panel.
this is good, but they need to accept all extensions
this is the same thing with the app store all over again. the way they word it, "have your extention considered", makes it sound like they will have about 5 extensions. fine, make a place where its easy to find extensions, you can even scan them for virus, make sure they work, and categorize them, but don't pick and choose and have rules and do what you did with the app store!!

If anyone uses SABnzbd+ for usenet, I have ported SABConnect from Chrome to Safari 5 and submitted it to Apple for inclusion.

Can't we have a thread that is safe from the iPhone-4 antenna issue comments? Geeez.... there are already 10 or more threads on articles on MacRumors pertaining to iPhone-4 issues.
if they are going to host a gallery, then they certainly have to leave some room to reject some. people could put out things that could get apple in PR or legal trouble. right now, apple is having enough PR trouble.
Same here. I love Click to Flash. Makes my life so much easier.
I'm not a flash hater (and I doubt andiwm2003 is). Click to Flash is to stop flash videos/ads/etc. from loading while browsing a web page, yet it gives you the ability to click the blocked flash item to view it. This is very useful for blocking ads and selecting what flash items you want to view. Flash isn't dead yet, so I'm not going to uninstall the plugin yet.
This is definitely good while we wait for Apple to get their site together. Thanks a lot.
