Safari Feedback and Suggestion. *Apple READ*

Question

Safari is a great web browser. As a dedicated Chrome user I feel there's a toss up between Safari and Chrome as my preferred browser of choice. There are great benifits to using Safari over Chrome, however there are some pieces missing before I can fall in love with Safari. I'm going to suggest some things that are very important that Apple SHOULD take into consideration to throw Chrome out the window.
Tab View
In Safari, you can use the pinch gesture on the trackpad to zoom out into tab view. This is wonderful, and it definitely set's Safari apart from Chrome's Cmd+Opt+(arrow keys). This is a feature everyone can use, however, it's not quite refined for power users, such as myself. The only complaint I have while using it is that it feels like it takes too much time (a short amount of time, but still too much); power users like to work fast. To fix this, design the view so that you don't need to lift your two fingers off the trackpad to switch to a tab; make it one fluid gesture that is built solid without any glitches. Power users will then have their autotory mechinisms kick in and will be able to switch to a tab with one fluid gesture.
Here's how it would work:
Use two fingers to pinch into Tab View (Power users might use their index and middle finger, so make sure that the pinching action is sensative enough for this)
Once the two fingers come together, allow moving left and right to move between tabs. Even if the Tab View is partially in mode, allow for the movement of two fingers to switch between tabs.
With the two fingers still on the trackpad, let the parting of the two fingers zoom into the currently selected/focused tab. Simple.
This will allow for power users to learn this single gesture action to quickly, and visually, focus a desired tab.
One other thing to note: With a lot of tabs open, it may take a couple of swipes in a particular direction to get to the desired tab. This is fine, however, in order to give power users faster access to a distant tab, allow the left and right swiping in step 2 to be more sensative the more partially the Tab View mode is entered. In other words, if a user were to only slightly pinch, the Tab View would only slightly be entered (and the tabs visually would be closer together), so moving left or right would flip between tabs more rapidly.
Address Bar - Search
Chrome's tab to search feature and automatic search detection is brilliant and should be included in Safari. It saves so much time being able to begin typing a site and hitting the tab key to start a search. Installing an extension wont be able to replace this functionality because having shortcuts for popular search sites is not enough. I use OneLook.com a lot, and it's not a typical search site that an extension would include. Being able to automatically pick up sites that aren't so popular is very useful. Just include the darn feature.
Extensions
Chrome has a great extension system and web store. Apple does app stores really well, so why is Safari's app store so second place? Apple should develop stronger APIs too.
That's all for now.

Hello:
There is a feedback section for enhancement thoughts for Apple.  These forums are user-to-user.  Apple employees administer them, but it would be unusual if a suggestion were picked up from here, I think.
