Glims for Safari on Yosemite 10.10

[fisherking]

i was so psyched about safari in 10.10 - i needed favicons and i was good to go. saft provided this. i'd just go ahead and assume glims is a dead project and move on.

turns out safari is really really really fast.... at loading small/average size objects. once you start loading huge pages safari chokes/freezes. opera and chrome have similar problems but not as bad.

if you don't do anything more than play facebook games and look at cat pictures then safari is the way to go. megaman power users still can't use safari.

back to firefox i go. slower response time for day-to-day browsing but handles everything you throw at it just fine.

ah well.

no issues here, safari seems 'lighter' and faster than it's ever been. try it WITHOUT saft, see if it's any better...

i agree that it is lighter and quicker - my point is that even with no addons the browser still chokes on large objects.

Another alternative to Safari: OmniWeb

… guess that's the end of development …

… back to firefox i go …

Maybe of interest: Who still uses Omniweb? – I'm in discussion there.

page is back up. am running the 'last' version (1.0.43), and the things i use work (mostly keys to switch between tabs, new tab to the right of current, max window size...)

glims

Thanking and rewarding the developers

page is back up …

Thanks for the hint! I'll try 1.0.43 (10004300) on Mavericks.

From the wiki:

… Ads are out - Listening to our users is important for us, so we droped the ads. We tried different variations but we understand now that it was a bad idea. …

Ads are out, the software remains highly desirable, so (big hint) if the developers invite some other method of being rewarded, go for it.

The looks of OS X 10.10 do not inspire confidence; assume that in the month ahead we'll need a great deal of help and goodwill from third party developers.

Compressed tabs?

… compress all tabs (up to 80!) to fit on screen like glims …

Is that feature specific to Glims on Yosemite?

(I can't find anything like that feature with Glims on Mavericks.)

Oh well (sad)

I guess Glims is dead. No more updates...
