Safari Beta Leaked, With Tabs 275
ollie_ob writes "Seems a bit too good to be true: Apple listening to its community and implementing the features most requested? Apparently a build (v62) of Safari has been leaked into the wild, and has tabs -- though not fully implemented yet -- and primitive support for autocomplete in forms. The Think Secret rumor site has the scoop." It is not merely a rumor, I've confirmed it. It works nicely, too, in a brief test. Then I, uh, deleted the copy I looked at.
Tabs? of course (Score:1, Funny)

Who's missing? oh! sorry, I remember, they don't care about usability anymore, they have 95% of the market.

You'd have more luck gettin popular agreement here by stapling your opinion to your ass.
Funny thing about my opinion...I never care whether anyone takes it or not. But when the back-chatter comes around as others talking out their little brown holes, it's kind of fun to be able to see them squirm.
Or was i absent the day they handed out
Ok, as for proof...NDAs tend to get in the way, you know? Makes being able to read between the lines more than just a dating skill.

I'm reminded of when some ZDNet columnist wrote a column on OS X DR3 based on Apple's press releases. He got an avalanche of emails saying, "Are you an IDIOT? Have you even SEEN DR3?" which, of course, he hadn't, being that it was a developer-only release. DR3 was warezed so widely, though, that just about every Rhapsody-starved Mac user was running it (myself included).
I guess I'd better reinstall Hotline and start clicking porn banners to get a nick/pass...

Well, I don't remember using tabbed browsing in Lynx (or Links).

Originally, all us zealots had to violently attack everyone who said tabs were a good idea, saying they were crude and unintuitive. Now, we have to do a complete reversal and furiously attack anyone who is against tabs. It just never ends.
The life of a spin doctor is a tough one, but immensely satisfying.

Folks, these are not the same browser. Lynx is sane, bloat-free, simple. Links has color and support for other bloatware like tables. This crap slows my computer to a grinding halt. Bloat I tell you!!! Next we'll be seeing popup ads, tabs, and other horrible things. Worst yet I hear they will be changing the name to (B)Links once they add support for everyone's favorite HTML tag....

I almost wept a tear. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen (apart from Oolong [fsinet.or.jp]. I was atheist. I now see the light.
In Steve I trust.
It also fixed my blog page's CSS troubles. Woo!

I see. He's a low-level guy without any real browser interface experience. Except for that Chimera [mozdev.org] stint.
He is a very smart guy, but he doesn't know shit about user interfaces.
Lessee, credibility with regard to browser interface design - the guy who started Chimera, or some random AC? Hmmm, thoughie.

The day my web browser knows what page I want to go to in the future is the day I quit web browsing.
I know, I know, it's a pyrrhic victory at best, since my web browser will know what day that will be before I do.
