Safari, now with Tabs.

Safari Public Beta 2 is now available (via Software Update Panel).
What's New in Safari Public Beta 2
Safari Public Beta 2 features tabbed browsing, autofill forms & passwords, privacy ?reset?, import of Netscape and Mozilla bookmarks, increased standards compatibility, improved AppleScript support, and localized language support for English, Japanese, French and German.
Tabs. It now has tabs. Now I can use Safari. Tabs are good. But just as nice, and somewhat overshadowed by the tabs, is the AutoFill feature and the Privacy Reset. Those are slick. AutoFill rules. Finally, a feature I really wish Camino had. We'll have to see if it's good enough to knock "Camino(Formerlly Chimera)":http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/ out of my primary browser spot. UPDATE: The MoveableType Bookmarklet does not seem to want to work with Safari. It looks like this has been a problem in the past. I wouldn't know, since I only just starting using Safari as a primary browser (cause of the tabs). However, people have fixed it. "AntiPixel":http://www.antipixel.com/blog/ used the "LazyWeb":http://www.lazyweb.org/ to "solve this problem":http://www.antipixel.com/blog/archives/2003/01/24/help_with_bookmarklets.html#chris_001536. So did "Jen":http://www.verybigdesign.com/verybigblog/archives/week_2003_02_09.shtml#001078.
