There’s a new version of Safari available. I’m going to try it for a week, to see if I can switch to it from Firefox. I’m going to keep a list, and publish this in about a week when I’ve been using it long enough to have an intelligent opinion.

Update: Turns out that I don’t really notice much of a difference in daily use, but here’s the list so far:

Things I love

• Holy cow it’s fast!
• The “open bookmark folder in tabs” feature works the way I expect it to – closing all open tabs, and opening just those tabs in that folder.
• The “auto click” feature on a bookmark folder is very handy. (Not new with version 4.)
• Search highlighting.

Things I hate

• The tabs across the top of the window. Who thought this was a good idea?

Missing features that I am used to having in Firefox

• Type to search – Firefox starts searching for something as soon as I start typing. (Note: This is not default behavior, but you can turn it on somewhere in the menus. Default behavior is to start searching when I type a slash / and then start typing a word.)
