Safari 3.1 and new tabs

I've been submitting "bug reports" to the Safari developers for about a year requesting a New Tab button, so I would like to take credit for the fact that in Safari 3.1, you can FINALLY open a new empty tab using the mouse. No, it's not a dedicated interface button, but I'll take it: double-click anywhere in the empty space of the tab bar, and a new tab opens up.

Not ideal, because it becomes useless after you have enough tabs open to fill the tab bar and require the double-arrow "more" symbol, but I'll take it.

You have a laptop, your left hand is probably on the keyboard 95% of the time. Cmd+T. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Some people get the new tab button, and some people don't. All I'm saying is that I like to lean back in my chair and use the mouse to open a new tab and then click on a bookmark in my bookmarks bar. It's nice that I can do this more easily now.
