Can it be done with GoDaddy's "Website Tonight"? How do I do it? Its not really "stealing" is it?
Now that is newsworthy, Swordmaker, and thanks for the
!
And why doesn’t Firefox do the same???
Just installed Safari 5 last night and I love it. It is faster loading than my other browsers and speed is important.
From the article: “In April, Mozilla said it planned to fix the browser history leakage in an upcoming version of Firefox.”
The Firefox team will fix this eventually. I would think fairly soon now that Safari has fixed it. But writing software is a complex task, and programming teams have to set priorities. This bug will work itself to the top of the list at some point.
Thanks BullDog108. Saw that, but hope it is sooner rather than later...
Appreciate the response and this should be on the top of the Firefox list — since it is “consumer first” issue.
I loaded Safari 5 last night and have been using it almost exclusively .
I like it. Just wish they would expand the font size selection.

Going from Times New Roman 18 to 24 is too big of a jump.
I've installed it on my MacBook Pro and my Dell PC. Seems to be impressive in speed. I had been using Chrome, but now intend to go to Safari 5.
I tried Safari 5 today. Whoa, that thing is fast. And the Reader!! If you’re trying to read an article on some site festooned with ads and junk, and with the article spread over several pages to boost the site’s hit-count, just click the “Reader” button that pops up next to the URL. And: up slides a page with just the text and links— no ads! And the whole article will be there, automatically stitched-together instead of requiring you to click link after link to get the whole article. Really useful.
It’s free for Windows and Mac: http://www.apple.com/safari/whats-new.html
Thanks for the news.
I installed Safari 5 last night, and have run into a strange problem today.
When I follow a link from FR to any other publication, I can no longer use either the red button or the black < to return to FR. Also, History will take me back to the same thread on FR, but won’t let me finish reading that thread and push < to continue on that page. It’s been driving me nuts all day because I keep losing where I was.
Anyone using either the update or 5 yet? Any problems? I usually wait to see what happens to others befoe downloading.
Thank God they have stopped the leak. Ever since I visited that porn site good looking women have been knocking on my door. Maybe now I can get some sleep!
I might be misunderstanding the problem, but you can select 'Preferences' under the 'Safari' menu item, then click the 'Appearance' tab. This shows the standard font used on web pages (unless pages set their own font, which many do via CSS). You can then change the default to a font and size of your choice.
Another option which you might find useful is to use the 'zoom in' and 'zoom out' functions under the 'View' menu to scale up or scale down a web page. To make this more convenient, you can add the 'zoom' icons to the toolbar by going to 'customize toolbar' under the 'view' menu.
