The latest version of Apple’s Safari web browser offers a new,
eye-popping way to view your open browser tabs—provided you’ve updated
your Mac to “Mountain Lion,” that is.
Just click the new “show all tabs” button in the top-right corner of
the Safari 6.0 interface, and presto: your tabs will simultaneously
shrink and spread into a row, giving you a bird’s-eye view of all your
tabbed web pages.
Got a MacBook? If so, there’s another way to activate the new “Tab
View” mode: by “pinching” your trackpad while the Safari window is
active.
Next, try tapping the arrow keys on your Mac’s keyboard or swiping
left or right on your trackpad to cycle through your various tabs.
Find a tab you want to view? Just click it, and it’ll expand to fill the Safari window.
Can’t find the “Show all tabs” button on your version of Safari? That’s probably because you haven’t installed Apple’s “Mountain Lion” system update on your Mac yet.
While you can install Safari 6.0 on a Mac with the older “Lion”
system software (just click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the
screen and select “Check for updates”), you won’t be able to turn on
“Tab View” until you make the leap to “Mountain Lion.”
