Safari 5.2 Beta’s Tabs
/MG Siegler agrees with me that Safari 5.2 beta’s full-window-width tabs are ungainly. (Here’s what they look like with one tab, and with two.)
The full-width tabs are clearly made to complement the design choice made for Safari on the iPad. I agree with both Seigler and Gruber that they look terrible. I'm not so sure that Gruber's suggested compromise would be good, unless his 'sane maximum' clause was also implemented.
On the whole, though, I think Safari 5.2 is awesome. I can't wait until it's stable enough (library issues on my 10.7 Mac) to use full-time.
