Glims 1.0 beta 9 by Machangout

Glims

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There isn’t anything difficult about it’s installation, as in many other previously outdated plug-ins for Safari.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)

Twicetab v1.3 by Infinity Labs


I’m not about to get into the never ending browser war. It seems like Mac users everywhere are just doomed. There are so many options for us, but none of them, and I mean none of them cut the mustard. Since I’ve been in the “Mac World”, I’ve been steadily looking for a good browser. I’d like one that imports and exports my bookmarks easily, that’s faster than my grandmother’s dial-up???, that’s not over boated with add-ons, reliable, and that offers the most basic of a designer’s needs, plus a few contextual menu items wouldn’t be bad either. I have been just like every other Apple follower, on the edge of my seat, waiting and hoping that the next new beta version of Safari would be slightly better than the last. It’s still slow, but I’m hanging in there because of it’s additional software adaptability and integration. When you add Saft, that often takes care of most of our wants and needs we so long for in an optimal browser, but now we’ve got Twicetab, too! Twicetab enables Safari to do just what it states, a control click, or double click on the tab bar and voila` a new tab. This is a very nice addition to all the other “PimpmySafari” add-ons and the like. Give it try, it’s free and you won’t be disappointed.(link)
