soapbox

I’m not quite sure that I understand the reasoning for Apple deciding to move the tabs in Safari 4 up from the “normal” position to the top bar. I really wish that they’d followed Chrome’s lead of having each tab be a separate (and therefore separately-killable) process, but instead it just looks weird.

However, it does seem a bit faster as promised, and with the color change I don’t mind the tab location nearly as much. I still don’t like the occasional click-confusion where sometimes my mouse isn’t sure whether I’m clicking on a particular tab or clicking on the application window as a whole, but so it goes. Anyway, this link describes a super-easy, less than 5 minute process for re-coloring that active tab, and I’d put it in the “recommended” pile.
