Glims Makes Safari a Whole Lot Better



glims

I love using Safari on my Mac for the stability and speed, but I keep coming back to Firefox for the features. Safari plugin Glims though narrows the features gap.

The completely free package (Mac only) adds the following features to Safari

* Adds thumbnails to Google.com search results
* Adds thumbnails to Yahoo.com search results
* Adds full-screen browsing capability
* Adds Favicons to tab labels
* Adds keyword search from address bar
* Undo “Close Tab” (cmd-z)
* Re-opens last session when Safari starts
* Focus last selected tab
* Type-ahead support (auto cmd-f)
* Forms autocomplete always on
* Dated download folders

Best still: they’re not an all or nothing proposition, and each feature can be turned on/ off to suit individual tastes. My particular favorites:undo close tab, re-open last session, and favicons on tabs. It doesn’t deliver everything I’d want, but with it I’m more likely to use Safari more often.

You can grab Glims here.
