You know it is ridiculous that Apple restricts the choices of Search Engine in Safari - Startpage.com is the goto search choice for privacy and lack of tracking...

Unfortunately, one of the few functions I use is the "Type-ahead support (auto cmd-f)" function which is not in the light version...
It doesn't really matter, I installed the full version, and it keeps on working good.
Thanks guys! :-)

I hope the developer(s) will come up with a fix soon ...apart from this - Glims is a wonderful addition!

Strangely enough b31 worked ok on my work Mac, but not at home.
PS. In Lion one might think it works alright, because of the system's auto re-open feature:-)
PPS. I've been using Glims for years - if it didn't exist I would probably switch to (ugly) Firefox because of the tab re-open function, and on top of it all it's free!
Thank you developer!

Anyway, I give up.

I wrote to the developpers, but I got no reply. Does anyone know where I can find that version (I've searched Google with keywords like "Glims Tiger" and "Glims old version" and found nothing).

I had to install the simplified version to have a correct behavior, but loosing some options ...
Versions Safari 5.1.5 & Glims1b32

1. Have at least one tab to the right of the one you are currently viewing.
2. Open a link from the current tab in a new tab (CMD Click). My new tabs open to the right of the current tab.
2. Move to the new tab using 'CTRL Tab' shortcut.
3. Close the tab you've just moved to.
Everytime I do this, the focus switches to the tab to the right of the one I closed, rather than back to the last selected one.
Could someone else please try and replicate this? Thanks.

Found an uninstaller on the MacHangout site, removed Glims and now Safari starts up as usual.
Pity, Glims was quite ok, hope they come up with a version that is compatible with Safari 5.

But I wonder if Glims will be simply updated to work with the new Safari, or if it will have to be entirely redone and made into a plugin.

The new Adblock extension replaced the SIMBL plugin - once I did that, the new Safari was fast. Be sure to switch over to extensions as they become available! Hopefully Glims, Cookies, Coolris and WebSnapperwill come in extensions soon!

The installer say everything went fine (safari 4.0.3) but I cannot find glims anywhere

Most GUI installation and utility programs do not rely on sudo and therefore they work OK with the requiretty setting, but it will cause some installs to fail on preflight or postflight. It will also break authentication on older programs like Preferential Treatment.
Glims is installed also - 1.0b24.
Safari crashes regularly - is there a link?
any solution?
thanks!
except this, Glims is great!!
thank you developers!
