Perhaps companies that think they can force us to listen to their messages — their banners, their interruptive graphic crawls over the pages we're trying to read — will realize that our ability to flit from site to site is built into the Web’s architecture. They might as well just put up banners that say "Hi! We don't understand the Internet. Oh, and, by the way, we hate you."

Of course, the site seems to have be /.'ed. :)

Well, it only took a few hours to hit another deal-breaker with the latest version of Safari with Tabbed Browsing.

The latest version fixed the problem with tabs piling up past 10 by puttig a little pop-up to list the additional tabs. This was Good, and I think I prefer the implementation over Chimera/Camino's, which is to spawn another window, but to do it when you have like 15 tabs. (They're utterly unreadable when you have that many open like that.)

Down side: They need to change the icon to be consisitent in the UI. You click what looks like a progress spinner to get the list.

The Deal Breaker: When I went into NetNewsWire, and hit a couple of articles, it opened each one as a seperate window. This of course, is pretty much useless and knocks me back a few revs of Camino/Chimera in functionality.

Disclaimer:I Know it's a beta, and I'm sure they'll fix it, I'm just sayin' is all.

Actually, it's showing how scarily fast Safari is becoming an extremely competitive browser.

Update: Finagle! you can't even drag links to create tabs in an open window, or even replace existing ones. Deal breaker. Oh well, next rev. Back to Camino.
