Talking about passwords, is it possible to tell Safari not to ask wether to save a password in the first place--anytime, regardless of web site? In Firefox and Google Chrome that option is available only a few clicks away in their preference panels, and it's very convenient for us using 1Password, KeePass, or any other passwords utility.

Download the ClickToFlash extension.

I don't even have Flash installed on my machine. The videos aren't Flash, or are served up as non-Flash to those without it.

I'm still missing a way to print a web page (or save it as pdf) so that it looks exactly the same as it displays on the screen.
There are some tools that help in this direction (including some Safari extensions), but their success rate is far from 100% (I could easily deliver dozens of examples of web pages that don't print correctly).
It turns out that many web sites define a printing stylesheet which is outdated and not matching to the stylesheet used to display the content in the browser.
I was hoping that Safari 6 would offer an option to ignore that stylesheet, and print an exact hardcopy of what is shown in the browser, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.

I use Paparazzi! for this and have been very satisfied.

To enhance Safari 6 functions, simply install Glims (http://www.machangout.com).

Couldn't agree more. Safari without Glims is like fries without salt. To be honest, without the additional features Glims adds (especially search engine choices) I would probably have defected to Firefox by now. Safari still needs to fix the terrible bookmarking system (I just don't get how having to open a tab to see your bookmarks is a benefit) and that dumb Google-me-too unibox (which forgets your original search term).

"To enhance Safari 6 functions, simply install Glims "

To each his own. I used to have glims, but it added very little actual functionality, so I removed it (according to the principle of "the fewer barnacles, the better").

For glims features, see: http://www.macupdate...mac/27708/glims
See how many are already in Safari.

The benefit is that you can drag any url directly into your bookmark collection and place it precisely where you want it without having to scroll a list in a drop-down menu that reaches from here to China. Personally, there's no way that I could manage such a large bookmark collection without Safari. No other browser even comes close. Different strokes for different folks.

"Click the new Share button in the Safari 6 toolbar "

This doesn't exist in Safari 6.0.2 for OSX. Lion 10.7.5 Not even in Customize Toolbar.
There is a "Mail" button in the Customize menu.

There are File menu items with shortcuts called -
"Mail Contents of this page" and
"Mail Link to this page".

But no "Share" button anywhere.

My biggest gripe with Safari and the reason I switched to Google Chrome is the super wide tabs. I don't like having to move the cursor all over my screen to select a tab. If safari would go back to standard size tabs or at least make tab size adjustable to user preference, I'd switch back. Read the Apple support blogs and you'll see I'm in large company.

For sorting Safari Bookmarks, it would be nice if there was a sort by name and a sort by date button.

The problem is 10.7.5. It doesn't support the function, so it doesn't show it. On 10.8.2, the function is exactly as described

That's right, the "Share" button in Safari 6 only works with Mountain Lion, not Lion or Snow Leopard.

Just an FYI: If you're a keyboarder, you can use Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-] to cycle back and forth through the tabs in a window.

Additionally, Command-[ and Command-] will perform the "Back" and "Forward" functions in the frontmost Safari window.

Happy New Year!
