The name will likely go away in the future, but it has been convenient to keep it around for the time being. “stingray” is the internal name of our web application.

We understand Safari users' reaction to Redfin: extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. We're doing our best to work with all our partners so we can support Safari by the summer. Some folks miss the tabs from the old site, but we just felt in the end that the browsers should provide the tabs, not Redfin. I had a bet with Matt Goyer, our product manager, that no one would miss the tabs (Matt, I owe you dinner). If we can get our map to load even faster, we'll probably open property details in the same window, so the back button always takes you back to where you were before you clicked.

Very smart to keep the safari users updated and their expectations in check - we have the same issue and frankly, they're a hostile bunch. :-D Enjoy Boston!

Looks great! Except the home page map with "Chicago (coming soon)" points to a very special Chicago located somewhere about Fort Wayne, Indiana. ;-) Nice upgrade, Glenn. Looks great!
