Why?

for a comparison see http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/S4M/Safari4Buddy/Safari4Buddy.html

It didn't. It's very first version was written on the 8th of March while Modifier came out on the 5th of March.

Actually radio buttons are not the way to set preferences - Apple's guide lines clearly state checkboxes. And as Buddy has now changed to checkboxes its author obviously agrees.

Ahhh - that is utter nonsense but now we come to the truth. You just have a gripe with REALbasic and don't like any program written with it.

You're a troll.

So Buddy now looks more like Modifier but has unusable menus, does not conform with user interface guidelines (eg the apply button), has less features, is "faster" when settings are applied practically instantaneously in Modifier but you have to press an extra button in Buddy, ... and you are contradicting yourself too?

You are seriously weird.

Only in about in the same way that Windows is "better" than MacOS X.

You pretty much embarrassed yourself here with your prejudice against REALbasic apps.
