It would be nice if it properly supported the post editing components of both blogger.com and Wordpress.

* Make extensions easier to install, like Firefox
* Enhance SafariBlock to be on par with Adblock Plus functionality so I don't have to mess with manually blocking ads.
* Put a text search bar on the bottom of window, again like Firefox.
* Make Safari compatible with windows so I can use it at work.

I wish sometimes that I could drag tabs into a different order, or even to a different window for better organization.

I would also echo comments 1 and 2.

Save my damned tabs.

Colorized source codes!

1. XUL for Safari
2. reordering of tabs
3. site sharing with other Safari users (collaboration with overlay and interactive chat)

1. Mail-like metal feel, not brushed metal.
2. Save open tabs and content for next launch preference.
3. Allow different search engines, like Firefox.
4. Allow for better cookie removal/retention.
5. Make the first time you click on Bookmarks work instantly, not delayed, even if this means a slightly slower launch time.
6. Make "Private Browsing" passworded, so this can only be accessed by people who know the password. Private Browsing is not good for office environments and for families with kids.
7. Install with Quicktime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player plugins already installed and ready to go. Having to do this yourself to see some video content is a drag.
8. Inform the user when updated Realplayer and Windows Media Player plugins are available and allow these to be installed automatically.
9. Have a preference to add a Bookmark to a folder in alphabetical order and not just to the end of the list for that folder.
10. Allow Tabs to be moved and even dropped onto other Safari windows.

Port it to Windows.

Millions of PC users have fallen in love with iTunes and ditched Windows Media. I'd give them the opportunity to ditch IE as well.

As long as 85% of the population uses IE on Windows, lazy web developers are going to develop sites that are incompatible with other platforms. This is a major road block to switching. Have you visited gap.com or oldnavy.com lately using Safari?

No more colorized beach balls, especially when loading RSS feeds. And make it easier to manage RSS feeds.

- favicons in the bookmark bar (like Camino) would be nice
- other search sites available in the search bar
- built in Sogudi (http://www.kitzkikz.com/Sogudi)
- search as you type (i.e. like Firefox's)
- bookmarking that made more sense
- "add bookmark here" for each submenu in the Bookmars menu and in bookmarks bar

and most importantly...
- change right-click on back button to how it used to be (i.e. same as click and hold)

Stop Safari opening links from other applications in a new tab of the foremost window if it doesn't have the location bar displayed. It's really annoying when it opens new tabs in a small pop-up window that you're using for something else!

Advanced cookies handling / draggable tabs / favicons

I would make it based off the Mozilla project. More specifically I would make it Firefox, completely compatible with all Firefox's extensions. There are a million browsers out there, Safari offers me nothing, certainly not worth the extra effort Apple has put into it simply to call it their own.

1. Stability.

Every few days (or sooner or later) I have to crash Safari because it becomes unresponsive, and starts taking up to 100% or more cpu power when new tabs or windows are requested. It beachballs until all new tabs have been fully loaded. Force-quit. Restart Safari. Request same bookmarks. All is well.

It's like Safari collapses under its own weight, and just eats up more and more memory till it can't function any more. It's doing it as I type this with Safari taking 90+% CPU 313MB real memory and 645MB Virtual memory on a DP 2.5 G5 with 2.5 GB RAM.

2. Full screen maximization without having to drag the window open further or resorting to a javascript hack. Let the green plus circle maximize the window. I have the same opinion for all apps. The zoom thing switching between two states doesn't do it for me.

3. Rearranging tab order

Reply

If I could only make one change:

1. XUL support

Otherwise, these as well:
2. Rearrange tabs and save them
3. Search box in status bar like Firefox
4. Configuration option for full-screen bahavour (choose between current behaviour and proper full-screen behavour)
5. Kiosk mode

Definitely support for firefox extensions or at least another open way to make extensions. I constantly launch firefox for the plugins: WMLBrowser, Developer Tools and so on.

I would like to see built in alerts for when you close a window. I currently use the Taboo plugin to get them but it should really be a built in feature.

Graphical history browsing
Searchable history

These are all dittos (in order of desire):

Put a text search bar on the bottom of window, again like Firefox.
Save my damned tabs.
Allow Tabs to be moved and even dropped onto other Safari windows.
Make extensions easier to install, like Firefox
Install with Quicktime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player plugins already installed and ready to go. Having to do this yourself to see some video content is a drag.?Make Safari compatible with windows so I can use it at work.
Fix memory issues (see above post)
