GREGJ  I love this program with Safari....However it

Would be nice if this would work with firefox......

they NEED a download option to "Dated Folders Feature "

that Glims offers to Safari users.

That is my FAVORITE Controll in this software

VINS80  It works very well on my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.2).

Indispensable, and Safari never crashed since its installation.

CALL ME YO DADDY  I could never use Safari again without this plugin and ClickToFlash. These two plugins give me many of the features that I enjoyed in Firefox. This version of Glims seems to be more stable.

It's a shame that Safari doesn't already come with all of these features but if I were working on Safari 5 it would definitely incorporate all of the features in Glims. You guys are the best and thanks for providing such an awesome plugin for Safari.

ELEGRAPHY  This version 1.0b23 of Glims never reopen Safari tabs for me. I have a brand new internal HD for my PBG4Ti and a fresh copy of Leopard 10.5.6, and I've reinstalled Glims 1.0b23 about 5 or 6 times, but it never reopen-tabs like previous version does. Gilms used to work like charms on my old HD and Safari4 beta on Leopard 10.5.6. Now only if I can find a older copy of Glims.dmg in my Downloads...

2KTZ  if you click on full screen it removes the menu bar ....and pops down when you move cursor to top of screen ...i really like the way it does that...

the only problem is it disables you from using the dock....

if this can be worked out it would be great !!...hope the devs get note of this

GOLDYN CHYLD  I don't think I would be using Safari if it weren't for Glims. The default Safari looks rather plain and unattractive, not to mention its lack of customizability. Enter Glims. Its vast array of options really compensates for essentially everything that default Safari fails to bring. Favicons. It's a must for me; I just like to have my websites display a neat favicon when they load. Customization of tabs. Open links in new tabs, open new tabs next to your current tab (left or right), or at the end of the tabs line (left or right), etc. It also offers an option to re-open all tabs in case your Safari quit unexpectedly. Accidentally closed a tab? No problem, the "Undo close tab" function will bring it back. I've only mentioned some of the features Glims offers, but there's so much more.

The only thing I really miss is the option to create Bookmarks MENU separators. It would be awesome if they could add that in the near future. Bookmarks BAR separators, on the other hand, can be added though.

Other than that, Glims is just great.

ACCOUNTCLOSED  Running 10.6 on Intel Macbook Pro. The Tabs/Misc. "Don't restore tabs if no browser window is open on quit" doesn't work. On relaunch, the browser opens the last open window even if had been closed on quit.
