I will go and spread the word. Some of my friends will like it.

Gracias and keep it up!

I watched your video and thought: but I already can do most of these things without opening a blank tab. For instance, I often select text, right-click and choose Google, and a new tab opens with the search executed….or I select an address and right-click Map and a Google map opens to the selected address. (In fact, the Google toolbar used to have a wonderful AutoLink tool that found addresses on a page, highlighted the addresses, and when one was clicked, a new tab with the map opened. I never figured out why this tool was removed.) I do these things in Windows Firefox, and so I don’t know whether Apple will also do this as easily.

By the way, today is the first day I’ve ever heard of you, and I enjoyed reading about your work and that of your late father. I hope you will continue to innovate and make things better for all of us. Thank you.

it differently.

Because this is my experience. I only open a new tab to go to a completely new site. When I make a search, my Firefox opens the results on a new tab by default (and I simply drag and drop the desired text into the search engine of my choice, or type it in and press enter). When I open a bookmark, I either middle click it to open on a background new tab, or I left click it to open on a foreground new tab. That’s how my Firefox behaves, thanks to Tab Mix Plus, and that’s how I like it. But, in truth, I don’t even need to open a new tab to go to a completely different site (without inheriting the current tab’s history). I could simply type in the address or whatever on the address bar, and ALT+Enter instead of simply Enter. In default Firefox, this is how it works too, and that’s great. You can also ALT+Enter a search query and it will open it in a new tab.

In short, the new tab page is a byproduct of a faulty browsing habit, because there are faster ways to do it. If anything, the new tab should include instructions for the user (by default) so that he knows how to alter his browsing habits in order to do things faster and easier.

Also, I think a modular design is always nice, and having something like iGoogle on both the new tab page and the home page (about:start or something) is a good thing, because it provides customization and freedom. It would also be very good if the proposed home button in the tab bar would function as a faviconized tab that’s always loaded with the intern about:start or something. But I say this because that’s how I browse, and I think everyone should browse like I do for maximum efficiency, because my habits are honed with everything I know about efficiency. Hindered by bad habits here and there, of course. But well, an about:start tab with an organized RSS reader (an internal one at that) would be absolutely amazing.

Now, please please PLEASE someone “up there” read this :P I think I’m saying anything dumb.
