Notice something different about the above, Safari menu bar? If you look in between Bookmarks and Window, you’ll see a menu that most of you, probably don’t have. It’s called Develop and in my opinion, it’s one of the coolest features that Safari has.
In order to activate this menu, hit command + , to bring [...]

This problem has been driving me nuts for years, and I’m slightly ashamed to admit I just realized it has an extremely simple fix.
It’s always bugged me that I could tab through every form field except checkboxes and radio buttons.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about let me explain. When filling out a [...]

As far as I know, this only works in Safari. If you want to open an address in a new tab without deselecting your current tab, type the address into the address bar, then press Command + Enter.

Installing SafariStand can be a little tricky:
Install SIMBL, a framework for SafariStand

Safari 3.1 was just released hours ago on both Macs and PCs, and the new features that come along with it really improve the browser! Download it from here, or simply launch Software Update from the Apple icon in the menu bar.

Whenever you choose “Save File As…”(or Link As… and so forth) in Safari it opens the typical window that allows you to choose whatever folder to want to save the file by mouse.
