Glims1.0.42

I miss this so much. I would happily surrender 50% of a pair of body parts meant for reproduction if it meant Glims would come back. I miss narrow Safari tabs so much. OMG <choke, sob>

I used this one for years without any problems but for some reasons I needed to update from 10.8 to 10.11 now :-( What I really miss are the automaticly dated download folders! Found no other solution so far...

DO NOT INSTALL. This is Abandonware. It hasn't worked in Safari for years.

For incomprehensible reasons, MU is currently listing GLIMS as "Popular Recent" software. NO IT'S NOT! The developer abandoned it four+ years ago (as of the moment) and will NOT be updating it. GLIMS does NOT work on may modern Mac, specifically any Mac running macOS 10.10 or above.

Before it died, GLIMS had gone the sad way of becoming adware. A tragedy.

PLEASE update this for El Capitan. Can't compute without it. Thanks.

Glims is dead and its website too.

Argh ! I finally decided to upgrade to Yosemite today, thinking all my software would be compatible. Unfortunately the newest version of Safari does not support Glims which I dearly love and find so useful, especially for automatically adding convenient download folders with dates on them instead of the mishmash of loose download files in the Downloads folder. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good replacement app or plugin I could use that would have close functionalities?

Hi there. Do you want to adds favicons to tabs on OS X yosemite? checkout this link. it works good for me! http://include.aorcsik.com/2014/12/04/add-favicons-to-safari-8-tabs/

Since Glims isn't working for Safari 8 on OS X Yosemite, I've used this updated version of SafariStand to show favicons...and it WORKS! http://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2lof1l/favicons_in_safari_tab_bar_this_seems_to_be_a/?sort=new

It doesn't work with Yosemite. To bad. I really like this lille extension. Let's hope the develeper make an update very sone

Does not work on Mac OS Yosemite. Needs an update.

Any plans to release Glims for Safari 8 in Yosemite?

Just upgraded to Yosemite and Glims is not compatible. Is there an ETA when it will be available for Yosemite?

On 1.0.42 If I close a tab and restore it with cmd-z, no history of that tab is restored

Just a heads up to the devs your FAQ on your website shows an older version (says 1.0.41 instead of 1.0.42). Also, please add a donation link to your website. Why don't you allow donations? Please take my money, devs.

Glims is a wonderful extension to safari. When I installed the update with the new adds, it clearly stated that there will be adds in the future a light version or that you could turn them off. So I decidet to turn on the light version. So only when I'm in an online shop, I get references to other products. At first, this was a little confusing, but now that I know that it is Glims doing this it's ok and to support them, I'll klick on one of these links every now and then. Most free application that don't ask for donation or don't have adds, gain there money by spying on your private data and sell it! Including some very big companies. So what would you prefer? We all have to make a living and nothing is free.

I've loved Glims, but this adware integration is a horrible idea. I've installed again and turned it off, but the functionality's presence alone threads a feeling of distrust into its use. I don't trust 'switches'. Sure, it says it's 'off' — but is it still communicating something to somewhere? Is it profiling me? Is it creating a new log or process on my computer that can be hacked or read? (At this point, a dev telling me otherwise is not going to ease my concern. [Trust?]. I appreciate seeing that the developer is highly involved in the comments here and in personally working with the negative comments to find resolve, etc. Respectful. But... I'm sorry, I can't trust you or this app until the functionality is completely removed—and I'll be seeking alternatives until it is. Dev, I believe I can speak for at least some others by saying that my trust can be restored, but the ad thing has to go. Completely. I will happily pay a small fee for your application. Especially if you implement functionality to BLOCK ads. ;)

- 1.0.39 is the last version for PPC. - 1b20 is the last version for Tiger. It's a pity that they don't give that information directly in their site and moreover that they don't give links for those versions!!! A few years ago, I had requests from MU users wanting the Tiger version, I was happy to give them a hand but asked MHO to offer a link for that version... I suppose just they throw away old versions as soon as they have a new one and they don't care about PPC users anymore. :-(

Yes, Glims not working with 10.9 and Safari 7. After upgrading to Mavericks, Safari didn't open/load and close tabs. I was unable to enter Safari's preferences - windows just didn't open. After removing Glims Safari started working fine.

This app is invaluable for searches and other features.

I love Glims, especially how it handles saving bookmarks, adding folders to bookmarks, etc. I had some trouble with version 1.0.40 when I was working on a website using a content management system (CMS). The site seemed slow and some functions of the CMS did not work. I contacted MHO and Jim was quick to respond and gave me a link to a new build that corrected the problems. I suspect there will be an update coming soon.

Great app, FYI tho, to get around Gatekeeper, right click icon then click open in popup menu, listed method (select and command-O) does not get around Gatekeeper.

It's good to see Glims adding more alternatives to Google in its array of search engines - particularly Ixquick and Startpage, which I use on a regular basis. It would e even better if Glims had used the SSL versions of these engines, but now that there's a Startpage extension for Glims I can use that instead of the Glims version. Five stars for this longtime useful extension.

Installs, but fails to load in Safari 5.1.10 / Mac OS X 10.6.8. Tried multiple times to install it. Even located all remnants of the previous version of Glims (1.0.39, which worked fine) with EasyFind and tossed them prior to final install attempt.... no luck.

Very useful for years. Thanks developers.

Just a heads up to perhaps save others time. If you want to find out which version of Glims you're running, click on the Safari menu and you'll see "About Glims" under "About Safari". Kind of a strange place to put it IMO and should be in its own preference panel section instead, but this is where it is now.

Google has now changed how to access its searches with SSL. Therefore, the Glims search "Google with SSL" is now throwing an error that it cannot access the server 'encrypted.google.com'. That server address is now defunct. Therefore I created a NEW Google with SSL, which I'm titling 'Google SSL New'. You can 'Add' this to your Search Engine List. But first some... NOTES: Google are now forcing a tracking / surveillance number on every current session of searches via their Tracking Cookie. The specific cookie name (at this time) is "NID". If you delete that cookie, your tracking ID is REMOVED and they have to assign you a new one. This tracking ID is EMBEDDED into ALL your search result URLS as long as the NID cookie resides on your system. Also note that this cookie is created when you log into many Google services and is required if you wish to remain logged in. Therefore, Google has built in some inconvenience if you dump their Tracking Cookie. Because of this enforced tracking number nastiness from Google, it is important to embed a FAKE number into the 'Google SSL New' search call. (Or at least I have found no way around it so far). Therefore, you'll notice my added FAKE number thrown into my revised search call. Here we go: Safe search off version: https://www.google.com/#fp=bonkyougooglesasholes&q=#query#&safe=off or the safe search on version: https://www.google.com/#fp=bonkyougooglesasholes&q=#query#&safe=on Note that I personally threw in 'bonkyougooglesasholes' at random. (I actually used expletives in mine, but the above should work). If you change to another fake Tracking ID, apparently the important thing is to make it long enough for Google to accept it. BUT NOTE: Whatever fake Tracking ID you use, Google will still access the NID Tracking Cookie for your actual, currently assigned Tracking ID and embed THAT into your search call. IOW: They're STILL Tracking you, whatever fake Tracking ID you use. There are ways to automatically kill the Google NID Tracking Cookie. You could create your own Apple Script / Automator Script to remove it periodically, or any time you activate the script. That's a free option. I personally bought the application 'Cookie' to do the work for me regarding ALL Tracking Cookies. You can set it to dump ALL your Tracking Cookies after any desired period of time. There are other such applications as well.

suddenly *big* Safari slowdown; many beach balls. ML/OSX 10.8.4; Safari 6.0.5; latest Glims. downloaded "uninstaller", then had a walkabout. *many* cruddies left in /Library & ~/Library, so i deleted them. not cool. Safari is now back-up-to-speed.

Doesn’t work anymore with Safari 6.0.4 can somebody confirm this too?

With the new version web pages only load half way. Oh well, I'll wait for another update. Maybe in 2014 I will finally be able to use this app.

Indispensable!

The favicons are a blast! Thanks for giving this for free.

This plugin is really great and highly recommended. I love the “add bookmark here” in the bookmarks bar (if you have a folder with bookmarks there) and other features that make Safari and sucks and ugly without it! :)

why is this update listed here today, it was published on December 23 last year already...

Crashes Safari when deleting a bookmark. Looking forward to the next update.

I really like this application, I wish they would add https://ixquick.com as a search engine, but its not too hard to add it. I like the fact that ixquick allows me to search for google news, then view under proxy, I wish there was a way to bookmark the proxy link but they expire and dont work after a while, but totally anonymous and avoiding google spyware as much as possible.

I used to use it with Safari, but I've never managed to customize the Apple browser to my liking, so I've always reverted to Opera. IMHO, Safari should look more like Maxthon for Mac: to be able to open a bookmark in a new foreground tab with one left click is a winner for me. Since Safari and Maxthon both rely on Webkit, I don't see why Safari addons developers could't put it into the builds.

Safari without Glims is like a car without seats, a watch without a strap, pudding without cream. You can use it alright, but it can be soooo much better! Seriously, the addition of the search engine choices, alone, makes it a winner, I also love the download folders sorted by date and a whole load of other things that turns Safari from a ho-hum alternative to Chrome and Opera to the best browser out there. It's just a pity it can't fix the silly mono-box idea Apple copied from Google... I'd love to be able to snap back to my search term like the old days... are you listening Glims team?

I use this awesome plugin in my Safari 6 in OS X 10.8, disabling Gatekeeper (I hate Gatekeeper!) And I'm very happy with it. Safari 6, without this app, limited a lot the searches and didn't allow me to search at DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia.

In Lion you will need to Control-click (not Command-click) the package and select Open to get the installer to run.

Is it really true that there isn't another way to restore the small tabs in Safari and you have to install separate software for that?

this one is one big reason for me to stay with safari

Be aware that Glims may trigger a Gatekeeper warning in OS X 10.7.5 (and probably in OS X 10.8 as well) with no option to open it if you double-click the pkg. installer file. However, if you select it and type Command-O the warning dialog with an Open option appears. Glims is not yet registered for Gatekeeper compatibility, but you can still use it if you wish.

Great extension with excellent features, thank you.

Two issues with Glims: 1) If you have this installed you may frequently get a "webpages are not responding" problem which forces all the pages in all the tabs you have open to have to be reloaded - annoying. This seems to happen a lot. A lot. And it seems to be to do with Glims 2) It seems to do a bad job at remembering the tabs you used at the end of the last session. Instead it brings up tabs from some other previous point. Which is not what you want. Or what it says it will do

Just awesome. My fav extended search provider (with shortcut) and folder with dates for downloads. Must have for Safari!

Brilliant app! I consider no Safari installation complete without Glims and Cookie. I use the website search abbreviations the most, but the other features are nice too.

I agree. Glims does a great job keeping up with Safari changes we don't like.

New option to disable wide tab labels......... this feature alone is worth 5 stars
