Beta Beat: More great Safari 3 features

I'm with Gianni (#4). I really like Safari 3 but the feature I'm missing from Firefox is the open new window in new tab option. When a link is designed to open a new window, it opens a new tab instead. I can just merge them after its opened, but its one more step.

Yup, this update is wicked!
I'm loving the ability to drag tabs along the tab bar & out into new windows, this is a very welcome feature.
Snapback is cool, as is the 'reopen last closed window' function, this will definitely be used!
Has anyone else noticed a faster scroll time? I'm sure mines faster than before!
Add image to desktop? Mmmmm? Cool, but not really what I would call a feature! I think apple probably did it to please you wintel users! I'll never use it purely because 90% of images on the net are low res and would look s**t on your desktop!

Peace!

very nice, had to uninstall because of my online banks not recognising the browser. But dissapointed that we STILL can't organise bookmarks alphabetically, nor create nested bookmark folders, nor create a new bookmark folder directly from the browser. To me these things are essential! - I use bookdog for sorting, but WHY?!

Good additions - here's a post on missing features ...

digitalintrigue my mistake I actually meant to say Command (Apple key) and click, but yes it can also be brought up with a right click although I prefer my way. Each to there own though

has anyone noticed how safari 3 on mac still has the 'brushed metal' interface for the window (title, nav and bookmark bar at the top of the window), yet the safari 3 version for windows is the updated itunes-like solid dark gray color?

it seems like all of leopard will be like this (finder, safari, etc in addition to the already updated itunes and iphoto) but it hasn't shown up yet in this beta for mac.

does anyone else find it slightly annoying that windows can have one of multiple interfaces, going all the way back to the classic 'pinstripes' look from early mac os x in some finder windows?

Doesn't anyone use scroll-wheel/middle button clicking? I do that all the time (though, admittedly, I don't have a Mighty Mouse - you can't click down on the scroll ball if I remember right). That works in Safari and Firefox for opening links in new tabs. There are two middle-click things Firefox does, however, that I wish Safari did - opening a bookmark from the toolbar in a new tab, and closing the current tab, by middle clicking on them.

Google Docs & Spreadsheets seems to be working (still get a warning though on the Spreadsheets - but it seems to be getting close)

What's pissing me off with it on Windows is that on my ThinkPad the trackpoint middle scroll does not work! It works in every other applications but Safari. The scroll on a physical mouse works fine just not the one on my keyboard which is super handy and making me not want to use it at all :( I also hate how backspace doesn't go back a page, I'm so used to doing that!

Great, visual html editor TinyMCE now works with safari 3
