dragging the only tab out of a window does not destroy the window, and the animation, while nice, is way too slow.
That being said, this is an awesome release. I would use it over firefox any day, but I will keep chrome for my day to day browsing for now
Really? The auto-destruct of a Safari 4 window when the last tab is dragged out works on WinXP.
The animation isn't all that slow but it could be faster.
We'll see how it works for the release candidates.
So here is the scenario
You have one window full of tabs, for whatever reason window 2 gets spawned on top of window 1. In chrome, as soon as the last tab detaches, window 2 disappears, leaving window 1 free to accept its new tab. In safari it doesn't.
Believe it or not, this is a situation that comes up a hell of alot, at least for me.

Never thought I would say it, but safari is now in contention for the browser I use full time on windows.
The one issue is the tabs. They obviously copied chrome, but came up so short it almost hurts. There is no ability to reorder the tabs, middle click does not close them, dragging the only tab out of a window does not destroy the window, and the animation, while nice, is way too slow.
