What do you mean it even does multiple pages? Am I missing something?

When an article is paginated (spread across multiple pages) like so:

Reader shows all the pages. Then you can just scroll through all the pages like you could scroll through a one-page article in Safari Reader.

Did I miss something or didn't it ask you to import bookmarks?

edit: never mind, thats when installing Firefox.

Yeah I was looking for something like that comes with the FF install.

Chrome, FF and Safari all have options to automatically import bookmarks from other installed browsers

now if you are going from one OS to another then export/import is good enough

Just going from Windows to Windows. I just found it and it is just looking for a Bookmarks file, so will export from FF manually then import. I just know when I have done that in the past, it puts them into a folder then I have to manually add them to the Bar, so was wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks for the response.

Ahh okay, I misunderstood, I thought he meant it could view multiple articles in one reader window. Thanks for claryfying.

I'm annoyed by the fact that I have to install quicktimes with the browser. I don't like quicktimes.

On Windows 7, and I just grabbed the exe that did not contain Quicktime??

Happens to me, too. Very odd bug.

Also, I just now realized that Safari 5 brought back the progress bar in the address bar, as opposed to the spinning loading wheel that Safari 4 had. Is there a way to change the bar back to the wheel?

I wish there was a way to back to the Safari 4 page loader indicator. I hate the blue progress bar in the address bar as it doesn't adhere to the Graphite preference of your Mac, so it's always blue. blink.gif

I found that the safari starts very slow (I'm talking about a cold start) and the interface responds way too slow for my taste (i'm guessing it's because of the 'top sites' itself is very slow. Any chance of making it look more like how opera's speed dial looks by default?).

Software Update on both Mac and Windows should let you install Safari without QuickTime.

You need to have quicktime installed to be able to play any 'html 5 video'. If you don't have quicktime installed, it will show you a message with the text 'this video contains H.264 video. Windows users can download quicktime to enable support for this industry-standard format'. (You can try it on: http://www.apple.com...showcase/video/ )

The problem with quicktime 7 in windows its that feels a 1990's application, they need to update and polish the interface. QuickTime have the worst GUI I ever in Windows 7.

Screenshot on Windows 7

How did you get Safari to work with the Windows 7 taskbar? When I tell 7 to pin an icon to the taskbar, and launch Safari, it just makes another icon next to the last icon on the taskbar:

NM, figured it out. Instead of right clicking the icon in the start menu then selecting pin to taskbar, I ran Safari, right clicked that icon that was on the taskbar, and selected to pin it from there. Now there's only one icon.

I just found an odd safari bug (maybe it's just me)

But,

1. while I am here on neowin.net and I open a new tab and go to say 'google.com'

2. Close the 'google' tab

3. Return to 'newoin' and Click 'reply' from neowin.net

safari is automatically reopening the closed tab....

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: I can duplicate this every time, and I'm on Safari OSX 10.6.3

I was unable to replicate this result in OSX 10.6.3; quite weird.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
