Safari wonderfulness

Safari is the best browser on any platform. I am very secure in that statement. That’s why I use it every day.

Two tiny things I love about it:

  1. You can type Cmd-Return in the URL bar to open the URL in a new tab. I use this when I chop off the end of a URL to move up a few levels, but want to keep the same page open. I remove the end, type Cmd-Return, Cmd-Shift-Right Arrow, and there I have my new page. The old one is still in place, and I can read them both.
  2. The other thing also has to do with the URL bar. If you clear the field and then tab out of the it, it’s repopulated. That’s a smart-a address-a bar!

Of course, I still don’t like the fact that reloading a page where you’ve changed the URL in the URL bar loads the new URL instead, but you can’t win them all. (Apparently Steve himself said it should be this way. As such, it’s not likely to change any time soon.)
