Dear Apple,
The improvements to Safari with version 5 are nice and all-- it's much faster, has rather good HTML5 support, and a host of other tweaks-- However, there is one utterly stupid, monstrously annoying "feature" you've decided to add which makes me want to eat glass.
And that, friends, is the same thing that makes me want to draw and quarter as many FireFox developers as I can find whenever I'm forced to use that mismashtastic hell of a browser: Title matching in the URL input bar.
Do. Not. Do. That.
My brain speaks domain names. When I want to go somewhere, I start typing domain names. I do not start typing titles, and your insistence that they be included in autofill matches, and in fact given preference, is about the stupidest thing I've seen since... well, FireFox doing exactly that same bloody thing.
If you've suddenly decided the majority of users' brains operate that way-- fine. Mine, however, does not, so give me an option to turn the goddamn thing off.
