Safari getting TABS and AutoFill!!

I know its not out yet...but is that menu new in the next version? Or am I just a little slow?

type this into terminal (with Safari not running):
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Yeah, once we download the version Apple wants the masses to have, apply all the hacks and open all the hidden/debug features - it'll be the way it should've been on Day 1.

It is still pre-day 1. It is a beta still and gaining functionality faster than I expected.

By the way, I have this, and it works!
Sadly, some links won't copy to the clipboard in this build, and some pages render a little off, so give it a little while before it is public.

While this is a welcome feature, it probably won't make me switch just yet. I'm waiting for keychain storage of logins in Safari... I sure hope they implement it someday!

um... automatic logins, or fill-ins? cause mine allready will fill it in, just not auto-login for me, I still have to hit enter.
 
Safari is my default browser for this reason: You can always expect Apple to improve things. One step at a time and easily through Software Update things become better on this side of the fence!

So... you're using something that is worse now (I mean, you never mentioned it being good) because you think it will get better? You know you can always SWITCH browsers at any time, right?
 
help me out, kids

I successfully added the DEBUG menu to Safari. However, the only reason I bothered to do so was to have access to the tabbing. In my DEBUG menu, it lists everything right down to SECURITY, but then nothing after that. (the screen shot at the other site shows that Tabbing shows up at the bottom of the menu)

In other words, the option to have tabs is absent from my Debug menu. Comment, anyone?:(

i haven't spent much time using tabs, but it seems a lot like how windows allows you to minimize multiple windows within a single frame. is it the same idea?

Kinda...but you don't "minimize" anything when you're using browser tabs. Basically you have one window on the screen at all times, and each page that is open can be accessed by clicking its tab in the tabs bar, which will be near the top of the window.

do you have beta version 62? cause the actual release still doesn't have it...... the latest release made public is version 60
 
you can enable the debug menu in any version. Just download safari enhancer and enable it on any version.

Safari v62 kicks as though guys

As the original article (and you might like to go visit thinksecret.com) said, this is an upcoming version, in build 62. It's not in the current released version, which is build 60 I believe.

Click Safari > About Safari. Unless it says 62 in the (), forget it, you don't have the right version.

Just be patient. It'll be released eventually.

Probably not, actually. I would imagine they'll add a few more things/fix a few more bugs before doing another public release (slashdot has a line through it in v62, for example, and it crashes on devedge.netscape.com instead of hanging).
 
OK now one more small request!

Can't wait to get the tabs in Safrai, one of the biggest things I have missed there. Now if only Apple can include bookmark syncing via iSync, I would very VERY happy. I like the organization Safari brings to the bookmarks, but it is still a pain to keep my iBook and G4 bookmarks in sync. Maybe include this with .Mac...
 
V62 definitely does not render the same pages as V60 does for me. Certain java applets render adequately in 60 but do not show up at all in 62. Still, extremely happy Apple listened as fast as they did.

um... automatic logins, or fill-ins? cause mine allready will fill it in, just not auto-login for me, I still have to hit enter

if the SW was released on the ADC website then its against the rules, so watch yourself
 
Background loading of pages

Why can't apple have an option to download pages in the background? The main reason for having tabs is that you can cmd+click on many links, and it will load in a seperate tab and u can visit them later after all pages are loaded. But this build shows the new tab opened as the active one. Come on apple, we have the best tabbing experience in Chimera, apple should have done a better job than this, First of all they didnt include tabbing in the beginning, then even after including tabs, it can't match the usefulness of a tabbed browsing in Chimera.

Try CMD-Shift-Click...loads in the background. Doesn't work if the link is already set to open in a new window (target="x" in the a tag)...must be a bug, but works on normal links.
 
Dammit, the Safari Aquifier disables tabs.

thanks

thanks aaron, yes. I already switched to Safari long back, but since this guy - the main developer of Safari - worked on Chimera before, i thought we will have all this figure it out before hand.

anyways, its a sweet update. thank you for constantly satisfying the macheads.

sweet. tabs and auto fill are what i've been waiting for. now i might finally move over from Chimera to Safari!! :D

w00t! :D:D:D
Click to expand...

What auto fill? Like I said, I can't see any sign of auto-fill capabilities of any kind in v62. If someone is seeing something that I'm not, then please let me know.
