Safari | theKitch

I’ll be honest, the primary reason I am here is to bitch about Apple removing “Toppy Tabs” or “Tabs on Top” or “Chrome style Tabs” from the official Safari 4 release. I was loving this little UI tweak on my Lenovo S10 hackintosh netbook from the Safari 4 beta. It’s limited to just 600 pixels of vertical resolution. So with Safari 4 plus my new most favorite Safari addon ever, Glims, I was able to get back 40 or so pixels of vertical resolution. That’s like 10%!

For those not familiar, glims, is an addon for Safari that provides all kinds of cool tweaks to the browser. My absolute favs are that it allows for running safari as a fullscreen browser, meaning hidden menubar, and also provides predictive google searching in the search box. It does tons of other cool stuff as well.

I’ll be waiting patiently for a way to get back tabs on top. Thanks Apple.
