Glims adds a cocktail of features to Safari (Tabs, Thumbnails, Full Screen, Search Engines, Search Suggestions, Forms autocomplete on, Dated download folders, Type Ahead …)— Machangout.com

It’s been awhile, and I do apologize for my absence, but I had to make time to cheer for Glims. A must have plug-in for Safari and life saver for all those destined to reside with Safari as their main Mac browser.

Besides all the really great aforementioned features, auto closing of the downloads window, was a total surprise and much needed. I no longer have to manually close the downloads box that was just hanging out. There are icons on the tabs, making it easy when going back and forth from one page to another. It also allows you to see small images of the websites you’re going to visit in the margin of the search frame, huge time saver.

There isn’t anything difficult about it’s installation, as in many other previously outdated plug-ins for Safari. Nor does it come with an outrageous price tag or changes to be made after every Safari update. I must say though, it has more than enough, exactly the kind of accompaniment Safari needed. It reminds me of Firefox before it was ghastly over zealous and bloated with too many plugins to even mention.

When first updating to Leopard, I thought I would die when there wasn’t a ready update for Saft, but worry no more. Saft not only found my trash, but got the shaft altogether. Glims is now Safari’s right hand man. Thanks Machangout. 10+(link)

When I think of the countless changes Safari has undergone, I go from What? to Ahhh… Once, long long ago when I was in search of the right Mac browser, I wanted one in which I could actually browse. Browsing can entail countless things, research, boredom even actual intent. Whatever the reason, when you are browsing you are looking at website after website in search of the desired Google inquiry. I want to see each and every website the way the designer intended for me to see it, how else would I understand the meaning of the actual feel or “Look” of the specific product that the designer intended to represent? Safari is just that, a browser; more accurately a true reflection of the designer’s eye.

Comparatively, Safari is light years ahead of all other Mac browsers. It supports CSS3 web fonts with version 3.1, and even the embedding of “sfnt fonts”, according to fonts.info. (See Below) The command f or “find feature”, tabbed browsing, advanced color management and speed are just a few of my favorite features. (link)
