Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I've been using Saft for years, love it, use most of its features constantly without thinking about them, hate using Safari without it, and don't think its feature set is "obsolete". It is (very) reasonably priced, well-maintained, and both the documentation and website have improved greatly over the past year or so. I have never had a single problem upgrading except when I didn't read the instructions carefully. If you follow the instructions (copy the file off the disk image, unmount the disk image, remove any old copies on your hard drive) everything works fine, every time. I don't mind the need to upgrade with every Safari upgrade - it ensures compatibility. Safari isn't upgraded all that often...

With the new "License File" scheme, however, I am having a problem, because I don't know where the license file is supposed to go, and there doesn't seem to be any documentation or instructions about this. I'm getting the shareware nag now and would like to stop it as I am a paying customer.

Run Saft.app 10.5.x, check the new white area in the two-big-button window. It's the place you drop the license file on to - it says you are not registered. Restart Safari to go back to the registered mode after drag-n-drop.

I don't know what all the b*tching is about - pkiula

An application that doesn't even uninstall itself on a platform as clean and welldocumented as OSX is worth bit*hing about. I have uninstalled every remnant of SAFT (didn't find its adblocker as efficient as PithHelment), have deleted every file, have reinstalled Safari, have repaird my disk permissions, rebooted and done whatever I can. Guess what. When I start Safari, I still see the wonderful message: "saft.app could not be found. Please place is in the Safari plugins directory". Go figure. 1 star from me.
