I’ve just downloaded and install the public beta of Safari 3. After hearing about how your could re-arrange tabs I was very excited. It’s very though because this morning I was looking for a plug-in that would do it for the previous (v2.x) version of Safari. I ended up downloading and install Saft which did work quite well. Now that’s it’s built-in I no longer need that!
Not only is Safari 3 beta available for OS X users but it’s now available to Windows XP and Windows Vista users! Safari 3 on Windows runs faster and renders web pages quicker then Internet Explorer and FireFox.
It has that same, sleek interface like iTunes for Windows does. It’s really the same thing as the Mac version. It includes the usual pop-up blocking, easy to use bookmark manager, tabbed browsing, auto filling forms, built-in RSS reading, private browsing and strong security features.
The features are that you can move around your tabs. This is such a small but amazing feature, one of the reasons why I mainly used to use FireFox. It’s very smooth and elegant too. The next feature has my jaw dropping at how cool it is, inline find. If you’re looking for something specific on a page you hit Ctrl+F or Apple+F and a little find window comes up, now the find box, smoothly scrolls down from the top of the window and you can type and it’ll find matches as you type.
The next is making text input boxes resizable! You can drag most any text box and size it to how you want it. The web page then ‘reflows to make room’. That is very cool!
You can download the Safari 3 public beta too!
