um, didn't Cover Flow debut in Leopard, and isn't Yersinia running

Yeah, running Tiger on all my Macs (oh yeah, except for the G3/450 B&W
and my Ancient Powerbooks 190, 5300 and Lombard, to which this doesn't
apply). G4 Quicksilver and G3/800 iBook both run 10.4.11 and the G4 Mini
runs 10.4.2 (but I almost never surf the web on the Mini anyway; it's my
Sims computer). Obviously it's the QS and iBook this is really about.
For the most part, Cover Flow - or at least its ubiquitous use, in
things like Finder, is a "named" Leopard feature, yes. But the
framework that drives it is available in Tiger. Not sure it was
delivered as part of the .11 update or if it's bundled as one the many
frameworks that comes with Safari 4.x - probably the latter.
heh. The cover flow presentation in the bookmarks window, and the Top
Sites, does work quite well actually. Very smooth etc. The problem
is that it's continuously updating the previews, chewing up your cpu
and network bandwidth. Make general surfing slow!
- Dan.
My main reason for wanting to disable the Top Sites function is because
I don't want my actual top sites (as in the sites I go to regularly) to
be trackable or obvious. I always surf on Private, and daily --
sometimes several times daily -- deleting my cookies and resetting
Safari to get rid of all that crap. I never used or even realized about
the Safari "feature" Top Sites until a few days ago, actually, and tried
to get rid of it on my own before asking about it here. Oh well..... :-{
