Safari - New Tab Button

[ziggyonice]

SafariStand enables you to add a new tab button:

Of course, Command-T adds a new tab just as easily.

Incredibly, SafariStand still works with Safari 4. Thanks for letting me know, I must have uninstalled it at some point!

Yes, but be aware of some compatibility issues I found, described in this post.

Okay, here I am to revive this now almost-defunct argument.

I'm using Safari 4, which is great, now that it has its own "new tab" button in the upper-right corner. But let me tell you something: It is not good enough.

i think its a backward development from safari 3.x regarding this issue.

it not only move the new tab button to such a small corner and not easy to reach, it removed the function of double click on tabbar to open new tab.

especially on windows, its quite close to other buttons such as "close the app"!

yeah, cmd/ctl+T is working, hack is working, but for the function itself, definitely need a better design on that tab/title bar.

Very true. On a Mac, the important stuff is always on the left: Apple menu, close button, Dock Finder icon, etc. In web browsing, it's the same way: back/forward buttons, bookmarks, etc. So with a feature so simple and requested as a "new tab" button, it would make sense to have it on the most actively used side of the window.

Until that day comes (and maybe it will, we're in beta, after all), I'm going to keep trying to hack the software to keep that button on the left.

Open Safari. Click on View, Customize Toolbar. From there you can drag the "New Tab" button to the toolbar, and put it anywhere you like!

Enjoy.

Easy peeps

Thread is approaching 2 years old and this solution has already been posted.

The New Tab Button was for 3.0 Safari 2 years ago. They have now added this feature. Duh. We know. No need to respond to a 2 year old post. Think first.
Don't post blind.
