The top of the Safari browser is to dark, the words on the tabs bar is at times almost indecipherable.

Will there ever be a Tabs Menu in Safari ?

You're right. You know, I despised tabbed browsing before I moved to Firefox. Now I can't stand to be without it. Apple should dump Safari, which is actually Mozilla's Camino with a different wrapper because Apple hired Dave Hyatt, the guy who created Camino (originally named Chimera), in 2002 while he was at Netscape.

Dave Hyatt did work for Mozilla in the past, but Safari is not based on Mozilla technology. At all.

Safari uses WebKit for rendering HTML which is based on KDE's KHTML (used in Konqueror). Camino/Firefox uses Gecko for rendering HTML which is based of whateverthehell Mozilla/Netscape used.

Also, that's a really big sig image.

I should've realized that, Anyway, it feels like Camino.

I looked to see if there was a size limit on images.
