SafariSpeed applies optimizations to Safari that will help to speed up your browsing experience and modifies Safari in other useful ways.
SafariSpeed allows you to easily remove the page loading delay that was built in to Safari. This delay prevents pages from being displayed until a set amount of time passes. By removing this delay, SafariSpeed will allow pages to be displayed as fast as your connection or cache can deliver them.
SafariSpeed also allows you to disable favorite icons - the small pictures displayed next to bookmarks and in your address bar. As you visit websites, Safari "collects" these little icons and stores them. Over time, as this "collection" grows, Safari's habit of searching through all of these icons for the correct one can slow down your browsing. These icons also eat unnecessary disk space.
SafariSpeed can also disable Safari's cache for a further performance boost.
In addition to these performance enhancements, SafariSpeed can be used to toggle PDF support and the debug menu and to switch between Safari's brushed metal and Aqua interfaces.
If you find this application useful, please register it for a low fee of $8.

Ever since then, safari can no longer find google, myspace and a bunch of other websites.
When I try to delete it, I'm told that I don't have sufficient permission to do so.
If anyone has any tips or ideas as to what I've done wrong could you please email me at danstheman2watch@hotmail.com (lame email address, I know)?
Many thanks,
Dan

I just saw this article on Digg about how to “speed up Safari” by reducing the “page load delay” in preferences. In the comments are many testimonials like “Oh my gosh! Safari is so much faster now!” This just goes to prove how inaccurate people's powers of perception are when it comes to measuring the performance of browsers. I say this because the preference in question is dead and does absolutely nothing in Safari 1.3 and Safari 2.0.

The pref to change this so called delay is dead since Safari 1.3 and it was the *maximum* delay, not the minimum. People seeing a big difference should definitely stop smoking.
According to the Safari dev, disabling the cache should be useless too.
Anyway, charging for features so easy to do for free is a bit silly.
If you want to kill favicons, change the look and *a lot* more, check SafariStand.

Nobody is going to pay $8 for this.
This app looks good, but instead of paying $$$ for it, you could issue a few simple commands at the command line to accomplish the same thing for free!

The previous versions of SafariSpeed were all released as donationware - meaning, if you like it, you're supposed to donate something. Unfortunately, I got about $20 a month in donations, and hosting the website and downloads cost a good bit more than that.
As a result, I've added a bunch of new features and made this version shareware. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. You're welcome to continue to use the old version; the features in the old version were not changed in any way in the new release.
I hope this helps explain why I started charging.

It's not a steep price, by any means, so there's not much to complain about. It does what it does, and it does it well. Thanks for a great app.

AppleScript Error
unzip: cannot find or open /Volumes/SafariSpeed/Volumes/SafariSpeed.zip or /Volumes/SafariSpeed.ZIP. (9)
Clicking on either button under Interface launched Safari, then gave me a dialog window to close Safari, followed by the above error message.
I had no problems with disabling the lag time. It made my Safari 2.0.4 incredibly faster than it had been.
For the record I'm on an Intel iMac running Tiger 10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4
To avoid this error, you should copy SafariSpeed to your Applications folder (or somewhere else on your hard drive) before running it.
If this doesn't fix the problem for you, please let me know. My e-mail address is awarofka@scifience.net. I'll be glad to help you troubleshoot.
So I clicked Enable Brushed Metal, to get back to the old setting. Now I have an extra menu bar at the top of the safari window.
How can I get rid of that ?
Thanks for you help.
