Safari, so goody

[khaosworks]

I managed to download the leaked beta of Safari with tabbed browsing. Works like a charm, except for one feature that Chimera has which I like - the ability to automatically open requested windows as a tab instead of in a separate browser window.

The other Safari inadequacies still bug me. No forms management, although that's apparently coming. Lack of compatibility with DBS Internet Banking, and also some cookie problem that's making it impossible to log into the archives of pay web comics sites like Modern Tales and serializer.net.

Safari, so goody

*LOL* And thanks for the link. I'm downloading it now and can't wait to try it out! :)

Beats me why they didn't just put their support behind Chimera, or possibly Phoenix (my current favorite on Linux and, when I'm forced to use it, Windoze).

Got it...

Just downloaded the beta and will try it out at home.

Lack of DBS compatibility really sucks. I also have problems with pages not refreshing despite multiple attempts (e.g. MacCentral - I have to open another browser, refresh there, then somehow I get the new version in Safari...makes no sense, since the browsers shouldn't be sharing caches, AFAIK), and certain pages downloading the html file instead of opening it in the browser (ESPN sites like ESPN.com and Soccernet.com).

You?

One of the other things that bug me is that sometimes, Safari just *gives up* connecting after it doesn't receive a reply for 30 seconds. Which is a bitch if the site isn't really down, just that the net lag is slow. Still, work in progress and all that. It's not yet caught up to the point where it'll replace Chimera as my main browser, though.
