SafariSpeed 2.0

Safari users and web designers who aren't entirely happy with the browser's performance, especially under extended use, have another tool for their belts to optimize and tweak its performance. SafariSpeed 2.0 has been able to turn off favicons and Safari's 1 second page loading delay in the past, but this recent 2.0 upgrade includes new features like:

• disable cache (ideal for web designers testing sites)

• enable/disable the debug menu

• toggle PDF support (either downloading the PDF or displaying it in-line)

• swap between the on-its-last-legs brushed metal and Aqua

While I've seen some of these functions offered in various plugins, SafariSpeed's 5-license price of $8 sounds reasonable to get them all in one place. The demo can be run 11 times, and registering also has the added benefit of netting you priority support.
