My only real reason to use Saft is to disable animation on the screen, which it does incompletely. Can those who know alternatives please suggest which is best for somebody who needs only this function?

I paid for Saft for 10.4, an upgrade fee for 10.5, and again for 10.6 - - never in between.. and frankly they were all great updates to a product I wouldn't want to use Safari without.
If someone doesn't want to use this software, that's fine, but I don't see any reason to trash the developer personally.
I'm happily using Saft on my Snow Leopard computer with the latest safari, and probably won't upgrade to 10.7 until a compatible version of Saft is released (a paid update or not)

I'll tell you in your own words: "I paid for Saft for 10.4, an upgrade fee for 10.5, and again for 10.6", which means paying for NO added functions whatsoever (in fact, several functions disappeared). There is NO development, NO progress, NO "great updates" as you say. Simply adding some basic compatibility to a new OS update - but only to a point that is simple. Blocking animated GIFs (which once worked) stopped working because it is "not possible" - well, others CAN do it, go figure.
" I don't see any reason to trash the developer personally". Well, there is NO response to user requests at all, NO acknowledgment of bug reports, NO NOTHING, not even a short answer. This guy tries to rip customers for NOthing. Sorry, I'd love to say positive things about this product - as I do for other products that deserve it - but it would be a plain lie.
Stay clear of this program, that's the honest advice I can give.

I too am happy to recommend software that deserves it: Lil, snitch, Hazel, Onyx, etc. Saft doesn't deserve even 1 star anymore.

KeyStone is supposed to be a keyword search engine, but when you don't specify the query part it does exactly what I was looking for.

Now if I can only find a replacement for the handy right mouse click to save a PDF (vs. print > save as pdf).
And once again DON"T BUY SAFT

Repeated efforts to contact the developer have been unsuccessful which leaves me unable to recommend this product to anyone. This is unfortunate because there are several features Safari still lacks (come on Steve, get with the program).
I hope that open add-onx for Safari will soon be able to replace SAFT.

Using Saft as a launcher.
Simbl .97 is in Scripting Additions.
Tried it in Input Managers too.
Thanks ... Ken

The developer mentions this as a "known bug" on his site, but what's the use of this update for Safari 5, if it has a bug that renders Saft totally useless in... Safari 5 ?
Anyway, I like Saft, but this update was released too soon.

Removal
Move Saft in /Library/InputManagers to Trash and restart Safari.
Finder may say that Saft is in use when trying to empty the Trash. Logout and login again (or restart mac) to solve this problem.
