SafariMacworld has posted a great tip for users of the latest Safari 3.1 in Leopard. If you double-click in an empty space in the tab bar, Safari will create a new empty tab – it’s that simple. Prior to 3.1, you would have to use a third-party plugin like Saft for this to work – but in 3.1 it is included. This is a very useful trick that will save you time creating new tabs. I personally like using the keyboard shortcut: Command+T for creating new tabs, as it works in Firefox too, and is very similar on Windows (Control+T). Of course, for this trick to work, you’ll need to have the tab bar visible; you can do this by going to View>Show Tab Bar. Safari will now remember that you have the tab bar visible, even after you quit Safari. To hide it, just go to View>Hide Tab Bar.

  3. Yes, but Opera also costed money for a very long time. And Apple told that to nobody, just a former Opera user found it out :D Anyway, It is better than this small "new tab" button in IE7 – that looks overload.
