New Features in Safari 3.1
Newly released (March 2008), Safari 3.1 offers a host of new capabilities for browsing the web on a Mac.
Resizable Text Areas
Maybe the text area you’re typing in is a bit too small to read. Or maybe you just have a lot to say. Either way, Safari lets you resize text areas on any website, just by grabbing the corner of the area. Resize and the web page reflows to make room.
Web Fonts
Safari 3.1 now supports custom web fonts. If it encounters a page that has fonts on it that you don't, Safari will download and use those new fonts as needed so that you can view the page as the author intended.
Tabbed Browsing
Tabbed browsing is an aspect of Safari not present in Internet Explorer (prior to IE 7). For those not familiar with tabbed browsing, it is a way to stack different webpages inside a single browser window. To do this with Safari, click on the Tabs pane in the Safari menu. In Safari 3.1, tabs are enabled by default. To create a new tab, press Apple+T. To alternate between tabs, one needs only select the desired tab from the tab list at the top of the web browser, which will be labeled with the name of that page. You can drag and drop tabs to rearrange them. Additionally, you can add a bookmark for all of the currently opened tabs for easy opening at a later time (simply choose this under the Bookmarks menu). For all practical purposes, the number of tabs allowed is unlimited and Safari will resize the tabs to show all of the ones available. In addition, Firefox also employs tabs.
