Relatively popular Mobile community site Sms.ac doesn’t support Safari . May be its because its in Beta but they must have considered Safari browser at least in Beta phase. Proof below. This is Windows and IE World

I primarily use Firefox at my Windows machine but in Mac i use Safari ( why? ) . But there are multiple things i dont like about Safari than Firefox. One of them is how Safari shows popup confirmations to remember passwords . Safari doesn’t let you go past the password page till you decide yes , not now or never in its confirmation popup. I dislike this. I love the way Firefox handles this. In older version of Firefox such popup were there but in latest ones its removed with a pretty good banner at top which appears till some time after you passed the password page. Safari behavior is specially annoying when you ask Safari to remember the password and it happens to be the wrong password. ( so may things so many passwords you know ). The way Google Chrome handles is the advanced one among all the browsers i have seen. Its very intelligent. 

Safari and Internet Explorer match in this case because latest version of both Browsers use similar popups where your input is a must to go to the next page.. Safari and IE friends . Seems unconvincing huh..

Well i have setup Spaces and Expose in my Mac . I have also configured mouse gestures to invoke Expose and Spaces in my Mac so that when i move my mouse pointer to upper left corner i see all of the open Windows . And similarly when i move my mouse pointer to lower right corner of Screen i see the Spaces. I frequently use the Expose than Spaces . 

But today i kinda found a bug or limitation in the Expose of Mac. When i miniminse one of the open Windows and just within a second if i move my mouse to top left corner to invoke the Expose so that i can see all the windows Open . In this case i still can see the blank window space representing just minimized window . The occupying space of that window doesn’t have anything visible but when the mouse points hover over that particular space seems Expose gives information of the just minimized window and when clicked the minimized window gets focussed. 

This doesn’t happen when i move the mouse pointer to invoke Expose after a Window which i minimized has completely minimized and stayed in the Dock. May be you couldn’t visualize all the things i have explained here — The below screencast should give a clear understanding about what i am talking about here.

What do you do to Open new Tab in Safari . Well most of us use Shortcut key combination Command + T . Or some of us use the File menu and select new Tab menu item . But today i found a third way to open a new Tab in Safari . 

You can double click or right click and select New Tab on the Empty Tab bar and it opens a new tab . I didn’t know this . Today i randomly found it.
