I used to be able to add website bookmarks by right clicking the URL icon and that would pop up the save to where box where one could choose a folder. That doesn’t work now, I hope there is a way to bring that back.

I had the same annoyance with Safari, and found this on a message board, reactivates the delete as previous page!

When we are talking of features of Safari 6, where are the updates for topsites gone?

So I guess its ok for Apple to copy everybody, but nobody can copy Apple… Justice in US…

CMD+{ will work for “Back” and CMD+} will work for forward. I really do miss the delete and Shft+delete keys. Can’t even create shortcuts without using modifier keys.

I’m with @Cian de Locke on this one. Using the backspace (delete) key to go back in page history was one of my most used functions on Safari. The lose looks like another move to create a fix in search of a problem. It is annoying enough that I am considering going to either Firefox or Chrome.

Despite other comments I liked backspace to go back in page history. Is there something I am missing? On my wish list – the ability to customise keys. I found that CMD + back arrow works but I miss backspace…

I never particularly liked the Omnibar in Chrome, so am hardly excited about it in Safari. That, I can take or leave. I am exceptionally unhappy, though, that Safari 6 dropped feed reading support. Really? I used to like the direction OSX was going, but have not really found much anything, aside from Notifications, that I liked about Mountain Lion.

Hmmm… just uninstalled SIMBL and it seems to be working.
Well, well, well…

Safari 6.0 is great – as long as I do not try to open a website! Leave it blank and it sits there on my screen just fine. if I try to access any url, it crashes. I have turned off all extensions, uninstalled GLIMS, repaired permissions from terminal and still no access.

If I could, I would reinstall Safari 5.0 but Apple no longer has it available and I can’t find a copy in the “wild”.

I am having to use Firefox to be able to access the net.

HELP!!!

Any suggestions.

(BTW, I am still running 10.7.4) Based upon past experience and this new one, I will stay here for a while.

I noticed that the Omnibar removes the functionality of CMD+Return to add “.com” to a word. For example, if you type “osxdaily” and hit Return, it will do a Google search.

I guess that’s the long way of me saying I don’t like the Omnibar. I got quite used to hitting Tab to do a search and to hitting CMD+Return to head over to a .com. Hopefully, they will update the app to include this as an option.
