Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Saft has a number of great features that many people will not be able to live without.
Unfortuantely, even if you want to live without them you can't. The current version of Saft has so much stuff in it that I don't want, but it gets loaded anyway.
I removed all entries from the Ad Blocker and Shortcuts panels, but there is probably still code hooked in. There is all sorts of mess in my menus that I don't want (like Show Sidebar and Tab Thumbnails), and while normally I'd deal with having some menus that I never use since I don't have to look at them, some of them have hotkeys!
The one that gives me the most heartache is the "block html autorefresh" which I do not use, but happens to be the same hotkey as Pith Helmet's "reload unfiltered" command which I do use frequently! (if I think a website is being affected by the ad and script blocking features of Pith Helmet I'll try to 'reload unfiltered' to see if I need to adjust my rules or if it is just a Safari issues).
I originally bought Saft for its Full Screen browser functionality (I have a spare computer set up like a little kiosk browser) but have ended up using it on my main desktop for its 'tab recovery' feature.
