Two finger swipe in safari

    When I scroll down using two fingers in safari, it often tries to zoom out so I can view all of the tabs that are open. It's fierce annoying! Can I turn it off?
    I couldn't see it in the keyboard settings?

    Try unchecking 'Smart Zoom' in System preferences/Trackpad/Scroll & Zoom Tab/Smart Zoom. Maybe your two fingers are tapping every so often and that starts a smart zoom.

    I think that might do the job. Thanks!

    Good to hear! I think 'less is more' when it comes to trackpad gestures

    What's happening is that instead of scrolling you are pinching in with two fingers which is activating Tab View, a new feature in Safari 6. Disabling Smart Zoom won't stop this from happening. You'll have to disable pinch-to-zoom entirely. Or learn to scroll properly. :p
