TabExposé: Safari gets Exposé for its tabs



Move over Shiira, cuz there's another browser in town that can bring the power of Exposé to its tabs. Cocoamug Software's TabExposé enables Safari (even the new v3 beta) with a configurable shortcut key to display the current window's tabs in an Exposé-style layout. To be sure, however, it only works on the current window and the tabs that window contains; if you have more than one window open with tabs in Safari, the others will sit in the background.

TabExposé works well in Safari 3 beta on my MacBook Pro, and with extra options like applying a color bar to the top of the tabs when TabExposé is invoked, $4.90 is a very, very tiny price to pay for such a handy Safari tab management tool.

Saft, a Safari plug-in has had this feature for awhile.

As mentioned, Firefox already has this feature. IE 7 has it (or at least something very close to it) as well.

Hopefully Apple won't buy out the rights to this add-on and try to sell it like they invented it.

I've just found out that after using it 10 times it asks you to buy it or it quits Safari. No 'You've used it 10 times, it'll be disabled until you restart Safari' option? You can only buy it or quit Safari. Way to turn off prospective customers.

I've tried it & like it.
But the delay from the pressing F7 to it kicking in is just too much (too much for me to use it). If the delay was fixed I'd use it.

my big problem with this app is that it doesn't grey out the background when you expose as pictured. i've been using this over 3 versions and the background dimming has never worked. makes it useless.

Let's all remember, however, that there are plenty of people out there who prefer to use Safari over the alternatives - including Firefox - for any number of reasons.

Just because something is free doesn't mean it works for everybody.

The "Foxpose" FireFox extension does the same thing for the low price of FREE.
