I love Glims, and those of you moaning about ads, just turn them of for God's sake. Self-advocate. Next, phew. Tab restore does not seem to be working for some time now. Is that the same as windows restore from native Safari preferences? I believe it is, So I use that instead, but it would be nice if the one inside Glims worked. Thank God for the add bookmark, sort alpha, and add folder features.

Installed,
used a bit,
Ads. popped up
Little Snitch lit up
deinstalled.

Ad-ware is more annoying than nagware. Avoid this unless you like advertisements popping up to “help” you buy things to make your life easier and better with no effort.
I can see the Marketing Major’s thought process now: “The internet should be easier to use — maybe if users just had a single button and things just played without needing them to lift a finger. We could insert ads. that ate up their bandwidth, and took over the whole screen—like TV, but betterer because it’s more engaging and requires less of that thinking stuff that hurt’s my head.”
