  1. Re:You forgot to mention tabs, so I will. by X_Caffeine · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    At any given time, I have six-eight web pages open, plus BBEdit. With Chimera, I can have two simple windows open and dash through all of my pertinent documents. With Safari... fuggedaboutit.

    Maybe if I had a Cinema display I could juggle nine windows, but at 1024x768??

    I don't mind if Apple wants to leave tabs off for simplicity and consistency's sake, but there should be a hidden tabs feature that "power users" can turn on for their own benefit.
