    I love Safari as it is, but seeing the snail pace of its development you'd be inclined to think that Apple is doing this intentionally to increase browser competition in OS X. Anyways, since most of its competition is free, I'm sure most of you have tried the others and love certain features to be added to Safari 2.0. Let me start:

    (1) Option to turn-off the Brush Metal UI and use customizable Aqua Button Icons
    (2) Add Tab Button next to the most recent tab (just like in Shiira)
    (3) Re-Orderable and Color Coded Tabs (links opened in new tabs from a parent URL is color coded for easy recognition)
    (4) Mouse Gestures (perfect for one-button mice)
    (5) Customizable Search Bar, giving you the option where to do the search (Google Images, Amazon, Dictionary.com etc. etc.)

    Just make it fast... even faster than Opera which I'm using now. I believe Opera has both your 1,3 & 5 request. :)

    Like what Mike said: faster performance.

    Also, cache options similar to Mozilla's. The user should be able to use any folder in any drive as the cache folder (in my case, a global cache folder in my secondary drive). Even IE has that option.

    Assign numbers to tabs like in Firefox (apple-1 for the first tab and so on). apple-shift-left/right can be cumbersome if you have a lot of tabs open.
