Safari Enhancer 3.3.1

Hello firebc:

You will get differing points of view, but I recommend that people avoid "enhancers/haxies" for Safari. Problems that are finally traced to those hacks appear here from time to time.

Having said that, since I do not use them, I cannot be of any help on your specific question.

From their website:

http://www.celestialfrontiers.com/safari_enhancer.php

'This product is no longer being updated. Please do not request new features or compatibility with new OSs and versions of Safari.

Approved for use with Safari 2.0.4'

So it won't work with Safari 3, and doubtful that it works with 10.4.10.

Hi

Safari Enhancer ought to work if you are using Safari 2.0.4. As Klaus pointed out, it's not compatible with Safari 3.

After downloading the application, did you drag it to your Applications folder before trying to open it? If not, do so, then try opening the application again.

If you are successful, have a look at this thread for guidance about increasing the Bookmark font size.

Safari Enhancer is useful for a number of functions, including increasing the History file up to 7 days, or 999 entries, changing the color or unread/read links, disabling the Safari cache etc. Make sure you read any developer notes to fully understand what the software offers.

Last point, I use a lot of 3rd party items with Safari. With that said, and adding to Barry's expressed caution in this area, each Safari add-on has the potential to create compatibility problems. If you choose to use these types of items, best to understand first the implications of using any add-on or modifier (the read-me file accompanying most of these items is useful). Also, exercise caution, making only one change to Safari at a time. This way, if a problem quickly crops up on the Safari restart, you'll readily know where to look for resolution.

If you do get it to open and in answer to your question if anybody uses it and likes it, I use it and like it specifically for one function, ie to keep a tick in the box that says "De-activate Safari icon cache". So often I had seen among the things listed to do if Safari was going slow, was to empty your icon cache. Now mine empties every time I quit Safari, so that's one possible problem out the way. But the developer does point out on his website that he's not going to do any more updates beyond Tiger and he won't make it compatible with Safari 3.
