Tear-away Tabs in Safari 4
February 24th, 2009
I installed Safari 4 today. The tabs inline on the Windows title bar was the first thing that got my attention. At then right end of the tab was a gripper icon, which allowed me reorder the tabs or to tear away the tab so that it is in its own window. Very cool!
Here’s a video that I captured of the Safari 4 tabs in action.
Safari v4 seems to have been inspired by Google Chrome, and not just by a little.
I agree. Safari 4 is by no way original, but they do improve on the other browser’s existing functionalities. For example, inline search looks very pleasing in safari 4 compared to firefox.
Must suck to have to wait until Apple got around to copying Google Chrome because they only released for Windows…
I really like the use of Cover flow for Safari’s history – very nifty.
