Yup, SafariStand is (somewhat) compatible with Safari 3.0! But since there are tons of SafariStand features that I don’t use, your milage may vary. To be honest, the #1 reason I use SafariStand is for the tab sidebar, which works flawlessly save for the close buttons within. More importantly, SafariStand does not seem to impede upon any of Safari 3’s built-in features. A full detail of working and non-working portions of SafariStand follows.
| Feature | Works | Notes/Exceptions |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar |  |
Tab close buttons do nothing. |
| Bookmark Menu Labels/Spacers |  |
Instead of showing up as spacers or grayed labels, a ‘functional’ menu item is displayed, and when clicked, Safari attempts to open the -:- bogus URL. |
| Workspaces | |
Restoring workspaces causes Safari to crash. Other Workspace functionality causes sporadic crashes. |
| Stand Search | |
|
| Site Alteration | |
Causes crashes, according to Mac OS X Hints. |
| Open ‘_blank’ Links in New Tab | |
Links with the target attribute set to ‘_blank’ do not open at all. Simply disable this feature to revert to normal behavior. |
I will update this list with my continued findings throughout the near future. Feel free to leave comments below detailing your own experiences!
