I've updated the post to reflect that. (Since Safari 4 blew away my Safari 3, I couldn't check). Paul: Apple doesn't just claim to be the first browser to support color profiles. They claim to be the only one. Mike: Thanks for the info. I’ve updated the post to reflect that. (Since Safari 4 blew away my Safari 3, I couldn’t check).

In fact, I found a way online to turn it off and switch it back to the regular tabs (defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO, from http://swedishcampground.com/safari-4-hidden-preferences) and that's the first thing I did. Honestly, with the screen resolutions that computers have today, is anyone's experience really changed by those extra 20 pixels of space. And then the problem that putting the tabs on top creates is the suggesting that the toolbar and bookmarks bar are unique to that specific tab. It's just weird. So, I switched it off.

I don't see that. Are you talking about the "Enhanced Keyboard Navigation" section on http://www.apple.com/safari/features.html ? If so, I don't think that's new. Better keyboard navigation?

I'm not a fan at all. It feels very awkward. Good review. I absolutely agree on the tabbed browsing, except that you listed it under “The Good”. I’m not a fan at all. It feels very awkward.
