Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Version 2.1 restores the Button in the Safari Window Bar that made Web Snapper's predecessor -- Red Snapper -- so easy to use.

But like version 2.0, it is not restricted to Safari; if you can do without that button, it runs just as well under Firefox, or outside a browser.

The new button is technically a plugin to SIMBL; it runs well under OS 10.4.11/Safari 3.0.4. I have no experience under 10.5.

According to the developer, Web Snapper is still under development, and he calls V.2.1 a beta (without a "b" added to the version number). But it appears perfectly stable; I have had no problems running it. What reveals the work-in-progress nature is the absence of a Help file, and in the "Save" Preferences (which are somewhat hidden), there is an item "Margin" which apparently has not been implemented yet (fixed at 50 pixels). Neither of these are urgent.

Excellent? - Kevin Browne

I would suspect it is a beta because the question mark hangs over 10.5 not 10.4. Red Snapper broke under 10.5, thus the relaunched Web Snapper 2. The real question is how well it works with Leopard.
