Woke up this morning, with WWDC news flying all over the Internet. iPhone 4, Safari 5 and many others. This shows that Apple is still the innovation leader, with every product released with a “WOW”.
I have removed firefox away from my dock, and start trying out the new Safari 5. Will it actually replace firefox? I see the light, but it will not happen in a long time. I have only used it for 10 minutes, so this is a very early review. Welcome to leave your thoughts in the comment.
Start with what I noticed immediately, tab management:
Now, we can finally configure (not using the command line) Safari 5 to open new pages in tabs instead of windows. Seriously, this should be enabled a lot earlier. What’s the point of having tabs while still using many windows? Remember how we use to do it in command lines? You don’t have to any more.

The Reader:
The reader function is pretty cool. I don’t really mind to read articles within the web pages, but the nice feature about reader function is how it prints the web article. You can use “Shift+Command+R” to start or stop the reader for particular website article.
The Search Engine:
Another feature is more built-in search options (Bing search). This doesn’t excite me much. How about let user decide what search engine they want? How about Google Scholar? How is this helpful to have 3 options but they all offer the same functionality? Think about it, it does not make sense. So give me other options for other search engines, or let me decide.
Safari Developer Program:
Among all these new features, this is very good news. Yes! Extensions! This is why leaving firefox is heart breaking. Let’s see how this works out. Really looking forward to it!
