I use Safari 4 with the tabs under the Bookmark Bar where they should be and the Progress Bar reinstalled.

@James, I think Tomas means ALL the way on the top, as in in the title bar. Personally, I actually like where Safari’s tabs are, but it took a little while to get used to it. Chromium puts them above the address bar and nevigation buttons, but still leaves space above them.

Personally, I’m quite enjoying Safari 4, and the occasional crashes don’t bother me as much since I have Glims installed and it restores my previous session after closing it or crashing, among other things. Chromium, and eventually Google Chrome, for OS X will have to be significantly faster and more stable at this point for me to consider switching again.

I hate saying this over and over, but Chromium is not Google Chrome.
Chromium is the open source platform that Chromium is built off of. The features that Chrome is known for will never be added to the current chromium builds.

On that note, I have been using the nightly packages of Chromium on Ubuntu for months now, and it is still very promising. I am mostly waiting for Gears integration, and application support when Chrome is officially released,

@Tomas: The tabs ARE at the top – exactly like Safari – that’s kinda where Apple got the idea from…

…or the person is using Firefox on a Mac :) At least they didn’t put the tabs at the top like in Safari. Couldn’t live with that.

The close button is on the wrong side, unless a person is using Windows, and then they are on the wrong side :D
