i have never had this load so damn fast.

Maybe it is a bit faster, hard to tell, it was pretty fast to begin with :)

yeah, i am on a rather old G4, so..
i think people on G5's won't notice the difference that much.

cheers for the step-by-step Boba.. haven't noticed any difference here though.. 7 secs to load BBC before and 7 seconds after.. it might be something to do with the fact that the servers are in UK though!!
Plus I got a pretty fast PC here.. Sounds like it should make a difference though..
Cheers anyways..

i don't see any advanced tab settings in preferences?
- Nematoth0
trying closing your browser and re-opening.. I can see it in my options.. not sure if it was there before or not though!!
- jpolk0
no really, where is this on a mac?
- Nematoth0
when you have the browser open.. at the top you see File Edit View Go Bookmarks Tools and Help
Click on Tools, then Options.. then on the left you will see a list of icons on the left General, Features, Web Privacy, Downloads and Advanced.. click the advanced one.. then scroll down til you see the tabbed options section..

It sure wasn't. Step 1 allows the new tab option to appear. It's so rad because you can say goodbye to fucking new windows opened when you don't want them. You can force any link which opens in a new window to open in the current tab or a new one.

Oh My Gosh, as Mc Five-0 would have said.
This is an incredible boost, way way faster. Nah really this blasts the connection up like a nice jet-engine run with pure oxygen. Way faster than IE, way faster than before.
IE is dead now for me 100%

welded you twit you're a bit of an idiot aren't you
learn to read first or silence eh
now about that cofirm box (you are about to log into the site "blahblah" with the username "blah")
how to get rid of that confirm box???
- welded0
Apparently I am because I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. If I have in fact ever even seen this so-called confirm dialog box I got rid of it right quick.

still nothing in options but in my prefs, there is tabbed options (pretty sure that was always there.)
but it seems fast as heck, so hey...
