Beta Beat: Glims for Safari

August 6, 2008 · Print This Article

If you’re looking for a Safari plugin with the usefulness of Inquisitor and thereupon some, next look no further than Glims for Safari. that (currently in beta) plugin gives you the same search functionality as Inquisitor, plus some additional and useful features like full screen viewing.

Actually, the current feature list is quite impressive for that free little plugin:

  • Generates thumbnails for Google/Yahoo search results
  • Full screen browsing
  • Add favicon to tab labels
  • “Undo close tab” option
  • Reopen last Safari session
    on start
  • Auto-close download window
  • Set focus on the search field on opening a new window
  • Adds max window size for window resizing

Glims does take a cue from Inquisitor’s revenue plan as the developers get a referral fee for Amazon urls in searches. Overall, Glims looks like a good alternative to Inquisitor, and hey, it’s free! You can download beta 6 of Glims from the developer’s website.
