  1. Re:Safari or Firefox? by CoolMoDee · · Score: 1 · on Using Safari Slows Your System?

    As someone who has switched to Firefox from Safari, Im not sure I would recommend it if you are going for the mac experience. One of the recent changes that happened (in the new security patch) was they changed the key-bindings and made the app act even less mac-like (cmd-w only closes a tab and won't close the window when you close the last tab, instead it opens a blank tab and you must press cmd-shift-w to close the window). That and it doesn't handle dual-monitors well at all (everything but the main menu can't appear on the secondary display). If only Shiira was a bit more active...

  3. Re:Standards and Bueller, both missing. by dal20402 · · Score: 1 · on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet
    I've never understood the big deal with tabs. What's the difference between having tons of tabs open and tons of windows open? Either you have a cluttered overfull taskbar (on Windows) or a cluttered overfull tab bar.

    I suppose the tab bar may be a little easier to read because of Windows's brain-dead taskbar implementation.

    But the systems I use all day are OS X systems. With those systems, windows are actually easier to deal with than tabs. There is no way to see the content of all the tabs at once (unless I use Shiira, which despite being very promising isn't quite ready for prime time yet). If I have pages open in separate windows, I can Exposé to see them all at once.

    The other thing I don't get is what people who have 30-40 tabs open at once are actually doing with all those pages. I can't remember a project where I needed more than 6-8 web pages open at once. I have a sneaking suspicion it's some combination of disorganization and the compulsive need to feel busy that seems to have overtaken modern life.

  4. "Quick Tabs" still following open source browsers. by argent · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta

    The Explorer "Quick Tabs" seems to be inspired by the "Tab Exposé" feature that's been a part of the the Shiira web browser on the Mac since last April (it was introduced in one of the 0.9.* releases).

    Shiira is an open source browser that's based, like Safari, on Apple's KHTML port (the Webkit framework on OS X 10.3 and later)... which is also open source.

  8. Re:IE7 is a dupe! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Microsoft IE 7 Goes (More) Beta

    The "new" quicktab feature is nothing more than a copy of the Firefox Viewmatic Foxposé...

    Which is basically a dupe of tab exposé from Shiira.

    Actually on second thought this might be closer to Shiira Tab-Expose.

  10. "QuickTabs" looks good by sootman · · Score: 2, Informative · on IE 7.0 Beta 2 Available to the Public

    The tour shows a feature called "QuickTabs" that looks good. If I'm correct, it looks like Expose for your tabs--shows thumbnails of all open tabs. Shiira for OS X has this and it's great--something every browser should have.

  11. Re:Preview tab is sweet by minimunchkin · · Score: 1 · on IE 7.0 Beta 2 Available to the Public

    Not out of the box in Safari, but you might want to check out Shiira. It has the very nice Tab Expose feature and it uses Webkit. It has quite a few little innovations and the tabs are draggable.

    You make some good points, but let's not think Microsoft innovated here! That would be news.

    Omniweb is one of those innovators -- you can see the image of the tabs there, as is Shiira (tab exposé)

    That's what just happened, pretty much. Safari is just a shell around this code... something like Shiira could be bundled with it and you'd have the whole thing. Probably even run Shiira 1.0 on Panther that way. :)
