SafariStand plugin has OmniWeb-style "tabs" planned for Safari?
On Pimp My Safari (very popular site at TUAW today) I learned that Hetima, the developer of SafariStand, is planning a September update that will bring OmniWeb-style tabs to the already-killer list of features. Instead of just text-labeled tabs, these tabs are thumbnail images of the pages they represent and instead of lining them up across the top of the window, the thumbnails appear in a sidebar drawer. It's a very cool feature and one I can't wait to see implemented in Safari - even if it does take a third-party hack to do it.
The developer posted a hint of things to come over at Flickr and he's also got a sweet little Quicktime teaser on his own blog that makes my mouth water almost as much as all that grilled cheese from yesterday.

I really am not a fan of those type of tabs... but maybe being in safari, and a new style to them they might be more appealing to use.

Is it just me, or does this not work with Safari 2.0.1?

I don't think much on pimpmysafari works with the new, improved Safari(s) with "improved support for 3rd party web applications"

I for one can't wait. I love omniweb's tabs, but not the slowness of omniweb itself. This is great news, thanks!

Hopefully the tabs up top can also be hidden somehow--the tab sidepanel is the main reason I use Omniweb, and I'd love to have this option in Safari; I can't wait to see how it turns out.
