Safari opens awful lots of windows

Safari opens new window all the time …

but there is a solution. I found it on http://www.tuaw.com/2008/09/08/terminal-tips-force-safari-to-open-all-links-in-new-tab/

Just open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/) and type in the following command: 

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Once you restart Safari, all clicked links will open in a new tab. If you want to reverse the command for some reason, just replace „true“ with „false.“

It also works for Safari 4.0.

Nice tip Bernhard.

Did you find a way to bring back the blue progress bar in Safari 4.0. The hack that worked in Safari 4.0 doesn’t seem to work anymore.

No, but I did not try either. I am happy with Safari’s progress bar.

I don’t think we can call what Safari 4.0 gives a progress bar. It is rather a „busy indicator“. A progress bar should say how much it has progressed/how much is left. I really liked the way how Safari 3.0 utilised space before by using address bar as the progress bar. It is gone now 🙁
