		<title>TidBITS: Comments on What’s New in Mountain Lion’s Safari 6</title>
		<link>http://tidbits.com/</link>
		<description>The latest version of Safari offers some (but not enough) interface polishing and coordination with Mountain Lion features such as Notifications and the ubiquitous Share button, but it drops support for RSS feeds. When the most notable upgrade feature is a retooling of the address field, you suspect it doesn’t deserve its new version number.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really miss the progress gear spinning to indicate page load.  I visit at least one site (skyscraper forum) where images are still loading when the horizontal progress indicator/bar says all is done.  If I start to scroll too soon I'm pulled back to the target when loading is actually complete.  I suppose I'm really complaining that the horizontal indicator isn't accurate (whereas the gear usually seemed to be).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I believe the gray text after the domain name was strictly for the "smart address field" approach when it was suggesting the most likely hit for what you were typing. But once you were on a page, everything in the address field was black text.<br><br>I say "I believe" because I'm not in Lion either, and checking my Take Control of Safari screenshots doesn't help because it was for Safari 5, not Safari 5.1, which had a bunch of changes and maybe tweaked that and I didn't notice. (Am updating - Take Control of Safari 6 will be ready soon - and I know I had to redo all sorts of screenshots!)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've just tried out an extension, BetterSource, that puts a button in the toolbar, and it opens a tab with the source code for the current page. Unlike keyboard shortcuts or Safari's Web Inspector button, the Developer menu doesn't have to be open for it to work. Not as good as split-screen approach, but if all you want to do is take a look, it certainly is better than nothing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dropping handling of RSS feeds from Safari is extremely annoying to me and in particular the ability to be notified and read RSS feeds from within Safari (to me subscribing to new feeds is an uncommon act and there are extensions which can add this back). Some people may use standalone RSS readers but I haven't found one which handles feeds as well as Safari used to. I loved the fact that numbers of new articles would be updated from the bookmarks bar and once the feed was visited this would be cleared - I want to know when new articles are there but don't necessarily want to have to read each story to clear the notification list. I'm trying out Vienna RSS reader at the moment but if anyone has any suggestions of a free RSS reader that handles this better I'd love to know about it. I just wish Apple had left RSS in Safari alone - the most shocking thing about this though is the fact that we cannot revert back to Safari 5.1.7 if we want to, not without reinstalling  10.7.4.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You are wrong about the feature parity of current browsers:  Safari is uniquely inferior regarding font control.   Any full featured browser should have not only a simple setting for the default font, but also a setting to override the fonts stipulated by the webpage css.  Firefox has always had this.  Removing what little control Safari offered is really stupid of Apple in my view.]]></description>

I have tested this with Apple's website on several macs where duplicating the window 3x and refreshing one will make 1 of the 3 appear darker or lighter. This is affecting web design as jpgs seem darker than the HTML color counterpart.]]></description>

I've set the font preference in Mail to a different font and a larger size (I'm on a MacBook Air and have old eyes). I wish the new message that Safari creates in Mail would follow my font preferences!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I for one think the decision to take away Appearance preferences was brain-dead on Apple's part. It's not a matter of what century we live in, it's how old we are - in particular, how well we can see the teeny-weeny default fonts in Safari. The Appearance preferences solved a real problem for a lot of us with aging eyes. The alternatives are irritating (hitting Zoom on every page), kludgy (CSS), difficult (CSS again, for most of us), and/or too limiting and ugly-fying (setting a minimum font size). I've already submitted a complaint to www.apple.com/feedback; I can only hope those 20-something programmers at Apple can *see* the problem!]]></description>
