Trying out Safari again

Trying out Safari again since I migrated to a new machine. (I actually couldn't download Chrome with Safari on both my old and new machine. Had to use Firefox to download. Very strange!) What I missed from Chrome * Multiple undo of tabs closed and the restored tab(s) preserves history * Opening a link in a new tab goes to the right of the current tab (Update: Safari 5.1 does this now) * It's still faster * Omnisearch bar * The way tabs are displayed What I hate about Safari * Safari has this annoying behavoir where when you open a new window, press Cmd+L quickly to go to location bar, start typing and it suddenly loses focus. Everytime. Annoys me to no end. (Update: finally gotten down to it. It's the Handoff extension. Removed it and the problem is gone) What's good about Safari * It's a much better Mac citizen, e.g. QuickCursor support which I think requires using the accessibility API. Other than that, they aren't that different for day-to-day web browsing.
