The Unified Smart Search : Safari engineers seem to be impressed by Chrome's omni-box like the rest of us. The new Safari features a single box for URLs and search keywords. Safari goes a step beyond and even fills the URL for you and it does is intelligently. It keeps a track of your history and searches so that it can take you to what you're looking for in no time.

The TAB View & iCloud Tabs (Mountain Lion Exclusive): The Lion and Snow Leopard users are going to miss out on the TAB view as it's only available on Mountain Lion. The feature gives you an overview of the tabs you've opened and allows you to use multi-touch gestures to navigate through the tabs.
