Saw this posted on the other Safari thread here, and I'm very glad its present. it may not be an option in the Preferences, which I would prefer, but at least we can d it. I really do NOT like the tabs in the new location.

Thanks a million! I just wanted to uninstall the beta, as I could not deal with these tabs at all... I could use IE7 or Chrome if I wanted such an interface nightmare. Now all is well :-)
The old tabs were great. Easy to rearrange, easy to move a tab to a new window, easy to double-click the tab bar background to create a new tab... perfect. These top tabs with their strange resize handles, which are no resize handles, are simply bad. The location of the reload button and the new progress indicator are almost equally bad, but at least less disturbing. Instead of adding these nonsense gimmicks, why not use all that energy to create a proper plug-in interface... finally having a consistent (and non-breaking) implementation of 1Password or Stand would be much more useful than all this.

Safari 4 has some cool features! It's fast as heck and I like the Cover Flow integration.
I really dislike the new tab system though. Here are some additional flaws/downgrades: 1) I can't simply double-click an empty spot in the tab area to create new one; 2) The tabs are no longer located conveniently below my bookmarks bar; 3) It's counterintuitive, imo, to drag a tab to move the whole window; 4) Only a tab that has focus can be reordered - even if I hold down the command key.
Hopefully we'll see some improvements post-beta.

I like the new tabs so much better. They take up less space and also don't have that weird transition that went on going from no tabs to tabs. I really didn't care for always showing the tabs since it was just wasted space.

You can also revert some of the other new features of Safari 4, such as the new loading indicator, CoverFlow in the Bookmarks view and completely removing Top Sites.

Dude thanks for this - new tabs = pain. Now I just need my blue bar back and we're in business. . . .

That's great, now if I could just figure out how to get rid of the cover flow in the bookmarks view. I don't need it. I don't like it and if it works like the little site icons, then this will be really bad. Or should I say slow.

Been playing around with the S4b since the link popped up this morning, back to 3.2.2 for now (Leobeta is installed on a G4 FW 800 that I'm having kernel panic problems with so it is no longer my main machine, right now deadlines and other things have kept me from doing any step by step troubleshooting) and all the talk about the new tab locations seems a bit trivial.
Yes, I will admit it took a bit of getting used to but with everything else to explore that went to the back burner, and by the time I paid any serious attention to it, it had become second nature, well OK third nature but......And the method one uses to move the tabs was explained in the "New Features" on the Apple downloads page for S4b.
Any way somethings are worth getting bent about but this, well now I've seen posts about other issues where Leo does not play well with certain apps, that is something to write Home about.
The cover flow window of the last 12 or so sites is very nice and for me useful and time saving. Same can be said for the new history search options.
Over all this appears to be a good step up, I plan to install Leo on this machine within the next week or two, just need to be sure it's not going to kill any important interactions, i.e. bank sites etc.

The new Tab Bar is a bit disjointing, but the speed is excellent and now that I know where the reload is, I am fine. Most of you all are just too change averse, IMHO.

I do like this new safari beta 4, but there's one little thing i don't feel comfortable with, and it's is in the history browse the yahoo mail page keeps signed in, and after signing off over and over, still that page remains in... is there something i can do about it?

[johndrake]

On the sign in page you didn't accidently check the box that keeps you logged in for two- (2) weeks did you?

[macpappo]

about the yahoo mail signed in: Johndrake: no, I always make sure to sign out after reading my mail since I use my laptop in the coffee shop or Starbucks....Perhaps I should check on my account?
thnx J.
