Yeah...
I have two that are extremely important to me...

1 - stop crashing every bloody time I try to surf anything on the keenspot network (it doesn't seem to like something or other that they do there and will without fail crash within 3-4 pageviews)

and 2 - stop deciding it's just done browsing for the day unless I kill it and restart it. The load bar will frequently come to a dead stop at the end of http: and move no further, even if I give it ten minutes. Once it does that, it doesn't matter what site I try to view, it does the same thing.

I've noticed the HTTP hang as well. It seems as though the browser is attempting to open an http connection, but then it hangs and is unrecoverable.

Starting a new window, and surfing to a site that hasn't seen a DNS lookup has appeared to fix the problem in the hanging window. But that might be coincidence.

View source in Safari can also be done with AppleScript:

Reading Dave Hyatt's weblog, it looks like there will be *some* sort of Safari/NetNewsWire integration in the future, but no one is sure what it will be.

Tabs are tricky because everyone is asking for them but it goes against Apple's single document window guideline.

The image idea is interesting, but I think it should go even further. Any selected text or image should be draggable to the dock and opened in that app.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out...

3 - Konqueror has tabs now. Safari will be soon to follow, I'd imagine.

I wonder if tabs could be done via a drawer or something to that effect without going against their guidelines.

As for images, I'd be delighted if they'd just add a contextual menu that lets me look at the properties for an image. And a "Load Image" or "Reload Image" would be nice, too... I've had several sites where images don't load all the way, and the only way to make them is to refresh the whole page and hope they load the next time 'round.

- right-click 'back' functinality
- better mousewheel scrolling support (scrolling is slowing in Safari for some reason)
- faster flash (flash is noticably slower in safari)
- better save page functionality (with associated images and such)
- better font sizing support

Support of iFrames. Yes, I know Safari will load an intial iframe, but any link selected on the page loaded inside the iFrame opens a new window. btw, does anyone have a quick fix for this? Such as a target="XX" kind of thing?

I second the Faster Flash wish item. About 90% of my graphic designer friends who have been lifelong mac users, refuse to use Safari because of it's inability to handle faster frame rates in Flash. I heard a rumor that it had been fixed for a future release. Is this a macromedia or Apple problem?

While I am on the topic, has anyone heard any more information about the supposed buyout of Macromedia by Microsoft. Coming from a mac user and flash designer, that scares the sh*t out of me.

Agreed that a "load images" button/command is necessary - some people who are still on 48kbps dial-up (the horror) have images-off as their default and like to be able to load images at their discretion. Right-clicking doesn't help either, of course.

but Safari rocks the house.

I cannot upload files (.doc or .jpg) to my Yahoo Briefcase or Photos using Safari. Other browsers can do this, but not Safari. A friend of mine at Apple said Safari is standards-compliant. Does anyone know whether the problem is with Safari or with Yahoo? Any fixes?

I have already created a chat application in C# which is working properly in Windows-IE & MAC-IE. But the client need to work that in MAC-Safari too. I am using 3 IFRAMEs in a page to display users, send message and display all chat messages. How to make IFRAME support to MAC-Safari?
Thanks in advance.
