One of my favourite things since intalling Tiger has been the new version of Apple’s web browser, Safari RSS. The RSS stuff is fine, though I’m sticking with NetNewsWire, but what I really like is the speed and integration of Safari, and the fact that you can finally import bookmarks from other browsers. For now, I’ve switched from Firefox, though it’s a close competition between the two.
Wish list for Safari: I would love it if in-page searching was accessed through a search bar integrated into the main browser window, as Firefox does it currently.

no way… another montreal mac blogger… cool.. :) nice to meet your blog
adam you must be kidding! the place is crawling with macs! if you throw a rock in any direction you,re likely to hit a church, and then have the rock bounce off the church and hit a mac user (probably a blogger too). anyway, nice to meet youre blog too. cheers.
My wishlist for Safari –> I wish I didn’t always have to press the apple key to get a page to open in a new tab. I think Safari too often opens a new whole window instead of a new tab. It doesn’t seem to function that effeciently as a tabbed browser. I end up with like 30 windows open, when it would just as effective to have a bunch of tabs. I just don’t remember to always hold the apple key down. This is the most frustrating when I do a google search and lose the page I was on. I’d love it if the google toolbar thing opened a new tab anytime you did a search.
I haven’t tried Firefox on the Mac, and I used SlimBrowser on my PC, so I just want it to work like what I was used to! :)
