Beta Beat: Glims for Safari

By Cory Bohon

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

Actually, the current feature list is quite impressive for this 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 links 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.
