They're Listening
It seems as though we've come a long long way from the days when we'd complain on our blogs about what we didn't like about our web browsers and how they could be different (a la Zeldman ;) and knowing damn well that nothing was ever going to change. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were discussing href titles showing up in Safari's status bar, and thanks to yesterday's build, here they are! (If you're using Safari, just mouse over these links and look at the status bar. Thanks Dave!)
Is there anything you asked for (or thought about asking for) that's has or hasn't shown up, gotten fixed, or changed for better or worse (besides tabs, of course) that we may have missed?

I'm with vi10n. Putting thetitle in the status bar doesn't make any sense. I don't see any reason why they can't display them as a tooltip. It's a clear waste of eye movement.

Hmm, maybe their placement has something to do with the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. Does anyone else have any insight as to why they chose the status bar instead of help tags (tooltips)?4. February 13, 2003 07:27 PM

I'm still waiting for the ability to turn off font smoothing.5. February 14, 2003 02:14 PM

Wait. The TITLE content is being displayed in the status bar, and _not_ in a tooltip? Ack. Of course, that doesn't change the point of the post: that we're being listened to (even if the execution of the wishlist isn't ideal). : )
