Saving and restoring tabs in Safari
Authored by: samkass on Sep 16, '03 04:14:13PM

IMHO, a near-perfect implementation of tabs is present in the Windows version of Opera. By default, when you quit Opera, all the tabs are saved, and loading it back up again brings you back to the pages you were at when you quit. My left few tabs have been "Java 2 Platform SE" and "Java 2 Platform EE" APIs, and the "ord.apache.struts.taglib" pages. I can count on them always being there when coding at work. When I go home to my Mac, I really miss this feature in Safari.

I do like Safari's combination of multi-window and multi-tab, though. It's especially nice for multi-monitor support. I just wish the tabs were more persistent.

Saving and restoring tabs in Safari

In addition to saving the current tab set when you quit and restoring them when you re-launch, it would be great if Safari would save the current tab set often so if Safari crashes, everything is back as it was when you re-launch.

Galeon does this

Galeon autosaves your windows/tabs as you are using the browser. If it crashes, just restart and you are back to the exact same position you left off. This can actually be problematic if particular page is crashing the browser. Then you have to quickly nuke the tab while everything is reloading. :)

Galeon is still the best browser I've ever used.

So does Opera for Windows. And Firebird, with an extension. Too bad Opera for Mac does not have the same features.
