Safari Feedback

Dave Hyatt is asking on his weblog for feedback on what people want to see in Safari. There are already 390 comments and 19 trackbacks, I can't imagine him reading it all. There are probably a lot of repeats as well. I'll give my few cents on what I would like:

- Tabbed browsing. This has been asked in almost every reply he has. Tabs or some tab like widget should be implemented. Don't do drawer-based tabs! They take up too much space. It is easy for someone with a big widescreen Apple monitor to say they have enough space but on a 1024x768 screen the browser would end up taking up most of the screen space.

- Aqua. I'd rather brushed metal was dropped in favor of aqua. I'm not a big fan of metal and especially metal on an app like a web browser.

- Customizable toolbar. We should have the option of rearranging and adding different icons to the toolbar.

Thats about all I can think of now, maybe I'll think of more later.

I downloaded Safari, and I want ed to delete it. but when I deleted it, it gave me like 100 blank documents, like .DS_Store and tons of other . things. It wont let me delete them, it says they're owned by Root. I hate this!

What can i do?????!!!!!!

Your are not the only one.

I'm not a computer geek, but I am a Mac freek, and I was glad to see a browser specifically designed for Jaguar. I'm also a father of a couple of jr. highers who like to hit on porn sites and clear the history before I get on and discover their mischief. It would be great if I could disable the "Clear History" command or put a password on it, or something so they knew that there would always be a record of their internet wonderings that dad had access to.

To disable the clear history button.
Run gpedit.msc
User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer
Right click-> properties on 'Disable changing history settings'
Click enable, click OK DONE...........
