Saft's anti-phishing warnings make it impossible to do my online banking... There is no easy way to turn them off. I can't even enter my password to login, every single character I type into the password box brings up the anti-phishing warning. I have to clear the warning dialog 15-20 times just to get past the login page of my bank's website.This is a dealkiller, I can't use saft if it does this.

I saw somewhere that if you type 'defaults write com.apple.Safari "Saft No Checking Phishing Attacks" -boolean true' into terminal it will disable them - you should not have to go into terminal to turn this very annoying feature off. (Assuming the terminal command actually works, which I haven't confirmed yet.)

Other than this, it's great. I will click "recommend saft" below on the assumption this very annoying "feature" will be fixed in the next version.
