Luckily for this list, Apple and/or the application authors don't seem capable of distinguishing between them, thus allowing for a new on-topic digression! > And I don't care if *you* hate such behaviour, What list/blog is this again? > That Safari just drops dead when you ask it to without even > giving the rest of us an option to ask back is hateful, period. Absolutely, and to add even more juicy hate: Firefox only cares about the number of tabs you have open, not whether you have unsaved state. The right solution would be to save the tabs you have open as a tab group and let you re-open them when you return, and to track unsaved state and pop up a dialog if (for example) you have an uncompleted form whether you're on multiple tabs or not. And to complete the quadruple-header, Taboo doesn't drop down a dialog when you may be losing data (which would make it behave like the rest of the applications in the system) or make everything require a double-click (which would make every application work the same way). No, it makes Safari special. This is what audio-cock technology was designed for.There's stuff above here
