Safari 4 Beta

I'm using it right now and, even though it looks pretty fuckin' sweet, there's certain things I don't like about it so far:

• Even though I have the option selected in the Preference, it still won't open links as tabs in the current window. Instead it opens new windows and shit starts to get real cluttered.
  
• Some of the BB code options don't work properly. Like the text editor here in GFF has the WYSIWYG option disabled and I have to run through the code to make sure everything is peachy before I post it
  
• It has horrible lag times on Flash websites. The pages will still load as fast as your connection can feed them but Flash plays SOOOO SLOOOOOOW. This is especially apparent on sites like Hulu, YouTube.
  
• I don't like the way the tabs are implemented. I'm utterly used to clicking anywhere on a tab to make it active but now I have to click on that tiny portion at the top right of the tab to bring it to the front it's kind of throwing me off, especially when I'm used to quickly scanning tabs on the current window and blindly clicking in its general area to make it active. I'll often find myself clicking at the page name a couple of times and minimizing the whole tab into the dock.
  
• Our company website now loads with broken frames so I actually have to bookmark the pages on the site I visit to upload and organize our school photos.
  
• The coverflow of bookmarked sites takes some getting used to

Few trinkets here and there make it pretty nice overall but it still lacks an options to clear personal data on quit like Firefox does, something that I use like clockwork my kids regularly use this computer too. I normally wouldn't mind, but I don't want them going through my history and them asking me shit like, "Mr. V! What's 4chan?"

STAY AWAY! STAY. THE FUCK. AWAY!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah I am. I don't know what's causing it for me. Speaking of lag, I've noticed a lot of animated GIF images also run at a fraction of their speed on Safari; case in point: Pangalin's current avatar. Maybe the slower speed is the way they're supposed to run, who knows?

That's the first I've heard of this. The entire tab area should be a hot-spot for receiving clicks. In fact, the strongest complaint that I've heard regarding the new tabbed interface is that click-throughs on inactive tabs while the window is in the background bring the tab to the forward rather than just the whole window.

Yeah, I know that the whole tab should be a hot-spot for clicks but it seems that the only thing that activates the tab for me is the "handle" on its top right. The tabs ARE clickable but that usually serves as the equivalent of clicking on the title bar of any window and allows me to move it or minimize it by double-clicking it; something I accidentally do very often while trying to activate tabs.

I can explain this one for you. Someone doesn't know how to use stylesheets. They included HTML markup in the linked-to CSS file, which brought extra HEAD and BODY tags into the page.

I didn't design the page so I'm sure it's a botch job anyway. I just liked it better when I could browse to the site on Firefox and not have that problem.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
