Glims Makes Safari a Whole Lot Better

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 .
