Safari 5

Has anyone here tried Safari 5 yet? I'm mostly hearing about the new extension support, which... well, if I wanted extension support, I'd already be using Firefox.

I do love extensions (a few anyway; adblock mostly), and I ditched Firefox as my second browser as soon as Safari 5 came along. Chrome is still my primary and favorite, but I haven't seen a beachball or heard a jet engine since I shut down FF.

I haven't noticed tons of changes, just that when I type in the address bar along with the suggested address it gives me the title of that site, and there's the little reader button now in the address bar.

Peter's been using it. He seems to like it so far. He likes the reader feature.

Is that an RSS reader like Google Reader, or...?

[aquinasprime]

No, it's for when you are viewing articles on a website or newspaper. It blows it up in a separate window. What he likes about it is that when there is an article on multiple pages, it actually pulls up all of the pages in one thing that he can scroll through.

Does it work on DW posts with multiple pages of comments? :)

[aquinasprime]

Don't know, we haven't tried it yet.

Peter just tried. Apparently DW posts don't register with reader. It's not really clear what apple is considering an "article" for reader, so there is not a lot of consistency with what reader works with.

That's too bad. I can't think of any other sites I read regularly where I ever see articles with multiple pages.
