\"Safari<\/p>\n

Update (25th February 2009)<\/h3>\n

Looks like Apple had a read of our post! It’s great to see the new Safari 4<\/a> implementing a feature we wanted. It’s even better to say “Hey Apple, we beat you to it!” But we don’t like to gloat. It was a fairly obvious decision for Apple to put such a great looking visualisation tool into an application that arguably needed it more than the Finder. I think people will quickly forget just how difficult searching their history was when all they had was a long list of URLs and page names.<\/p>\n

The Idea (before Apple implemented it)<\/h3>\n

A lot of people [including me] would like a better way of browsing their vast arrays of bookmarks and visited sites.<\/p>\n

A lot of people have suggested that Safari had some way of visually doing this, just like a lot of plug ins can for Firefox and other browsers.<\/p>\n

But, it occurred to me recently – wouldn’t it be cool if Safari had Coverflow? Whenever you go to a page, Safari could capture a small thumbnail and save it in a directory for fast viewing much like iTunes does with cover art, and the Finder will with images and other documents in Leopard.<\/p>\n

It would make so much sense – iTunes for Mac and Windows already has Coverflow, so surely it wouldn’t be such a mammoth task to get Coverflow in Safari for Windows as well.<\/p>\n

I know it would save me a ton of time – much more than just eye candy – websites are, just like documents, not the easiest thing to distinguish when jumbled up in lists of 100s if not 1000s of similar items.<\/p>\n

Also, with an almost identical version of Safari on the iPhone, browsing your history would become much the same, and just as easy as browsing your music collection.<\/p>\n

All in all, Steve and co, if you’re listening, this one’s a no-brainer \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
