How do Mac OS X browsers handle three essential features (on top of the requisite standards compliance): Tabs, crash or quit protection, and print preview?
| Browser | New tab | Move from tab to tab | Close tab and you go… | Save browser state? | Print preview? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Camino | Command-T | Option-Command- leftarrow/-rightarrow |
To next tab | No | No |
| Firefox, Mozilla | Command-T | Ctrl- PgUp/-PgDn (along with Fn key on PowerBooks) |
To next tab | No | No |
| IE5 | No tabs | No | Yes | ||
| OmniWeb | Command-T | Command- uparrow/-downarrow |
To next tab | Yes | No |
| Opera | Command-N | (Shift-)F6 | To previous tab | Yes | Yes |
| Safari | Command-T | Shift-Command- leftarrow/-rightarrow |
To next tab | No | No |
| Shiira | Command-T | Shift-Command- leftarrow/-rightarrow |
To previous selected tab | No | No |
Evidently, then, no single browser gives me everything I want. If Opera fixes its keystroke and tab behaviour, among other defects, it may win out.
