Safari: What's the big deal??!!

no more camino for me  

[cocoamix]

The leaked versions has tabs since v64. This release is very very nice so far. Download manager still needs work, and well as the contextual menus, but it's now my main browser, with Camino as the secondary.

I don't see any difference, except now it asks me for my keychain password every single time a page loads, a password I still don't know. How do you open tabs?

In the keychain manager you can see your passwords.  You just have to have the password to your user, I think, or it may be your keychain password.

To open tabs you have to enable them in prefs.  There it also tells you all of the shortcuts for opening tabs.

great to hear they are coming along so fast with it, as a company i do like apple et cetera, but it's a shame that use of real Free software suffers in this way.

actually the jury's still out on this in my opinion, also ecsyle, don't feel i am picking on you or anything just because i quoted you.

I know this is a little late.  But Apple is being a good citizen.  Does a good citizen follow the law, yes.  Also if Apple were not being a good citizen who would sue them?  the KHTML people?!?  Even if everyone who worked on HTML ever threw in their entire life savings into a lawyer, they still couldn't beat Apple's lawyers.  Apple knows this, so they are being a good citizen by not exercising their wallet.

If they didn't sue them the FSF would, and it would be a very clear cut case if they had violated the GPL. No lawyers could save them from prosecution.

and would somebody please tell me the situation as regards apple and the gPL? i think i am a little behind here as i don't understand how they are complying/not complying with GPL restrictions.

[flap]

Well they've used GPL code in Safari and released that back to the community as they're supposed to. That's it really.

Den shut yo mouth!!!

I think Safari rules, even though I've never used Mac OS X. Apple could very well make Safari as their default browser instead of Microshaft Internet Exploder. Also, the automatic importing of IE's favourites and the IE address book. That could help Mac OS X users to make the switch from IE to Safari.

no problem. why is it that a bunch of people can come on here posting ass licking comments about how cuddly macintoshes are and then when one person comes on here and actually has an opinion it's time to get out the sarcastic remarks?

anyway i think you will find that this thread was already hijacked when i came along. also, one final point, i was genuinely interested in this project, but then general interest doesn't seem to welcome in the mac camp, unless it is coupled with fawning admiration. it's a different world we live in. i call mine the "real" world.

Erm, Calum I was refering to flap's posts and not yours. Sorry, I should have made that more clear.

I don't think that's Billy Gates. Dude, I'm not going to delete this post so I can show everyone else your stupidity. He has also made several other similar posts to this which I have deleted. Either shut the hell up or don't let the door hit your ass on the way out because you'll find yourself in a nice little town I like to call "Banville".
