Actually, Firefox three has the “CoverFlow” feature for bookmarks, if you open the organize bookmarks [Bookmarks --> Organize Bookmarks, or [Win] Ctrl+Shift+B [Mac] Alt+Shift+B]
In the organizer, click views, choose albums…

Hi Yannik,

Thanks for the gratitude – we really appreciate it.

We’ll upload the ai some time today once we’ve found it in the archives!

Cheers,

James

Hi,
I’m still interested by your .ai file of your dream browser. Did you upload it once or never? Can I get it somewhere?

It’s really late, but I saw your great post two days ago…

Thanks
Yannik

i must say that i am pretty impressed with this, this thing actually totally fits in the Apple philosophy, just like they are doing to iTunes making it an All in One App(music, movies and iBlaBla-synchronization, they could make Safari into one of the most powerful browsers ever, not only making it a browser, but also a multimedia-tool. i can imagine for many people this way of browsing would be nice, having an OS that already is filled with the classic bar at the left( Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, 3party apps).

i noticed Shiira had a sort of intuitive surfing bar, but these mock ups are nicer!
and DreamBrowser would be a great name.

P.S .for the rest: usual stuff: love the blog, great content, yes i do read RSS, you guys rock!

Hi G,

Just try http://www.web2wave.com, It looks a lot like the iPod technology on the new Touch or iPhone., but instead of album covers, Web2Wave displays website coverflows called Surflets. Itâ€™s a completely intuitive and three dimensional interface that runs clean and is a pleasure to use. Simply double-click on any coverflow image to make that site active. Rummage through sites at your leisure and add as many surflets as you like

I haven’t notice before but is it a reload button or a time machine button?
You probably even know it. You can have a coverflow view of your history and bookmarks with safari stand (which provide quicklook plugins for viewing it) after looking at the libray caches safari folder.

All of theses planed fonctions seems very cool but i mind about the possibility to develop and maintain a so big project.
For an example, I just began to use safari stand last week and i can ever see that the images folder generated by safri stand (480px settings) come to take more than 70mo on my drive (and just for history and new bookmarks and not the previous bookmark).

For the video part, all of this seems to be like the excellent miro app (http://www.getmiro.com/), it’s an open source project that could possibly be implemented in the browser??.

But i think that if there is not a browser comfortable with audio and video, it’s because media player app are such difficult to do due to so many differents formats and implantation.

Maybe you will reduce the exigence with time but i agree this is brainstorming and all ideas are welcome.

Sorry for my english. maybe i could help you (i’m not a programmer) for graphic design stuff or for french translation (i’m better in web or technics english than in normal speak

oh my god, please make this browser a reality. I was thinking over the idea since I saw your first post about the “dream browser” and it’s blowing my mind how awesome this idea is and how revolutionary it could be.
it just makes sense for it all to pan out like this.
