MarkusWinter seems rabidly obsessed with flaming people who prefer Safari 4 Buddy. Give it a rest, my friend.

A side-by-side comparison reveals that Safari 4 Buddy is much faster, does not contain unnecessary features, and looks like a standard Mac application.

So, lighten up, MarkusWinter. Life is passing you by.

Please don't lie in your comments - MarkusWinter

> Safari 4 Modifier is much slower

Changes set in S4M are instantaneous - so how it can be "slower" is beyond me

And you can also easily make the changes in the terminal. It is called comfort.

Because it is available and is NOT the same as "Clear History". I'm amazed that some people still list this as being "the same" - it is obvious they haven't even tried it.

As any REALbasic developer can tell there is an extraordinary amount of trolling against anything REALbasic going on (versiontracker recently banned a troll going by the synonym luckyalive and removed all his comments).

I would challenge anyone to tell me how S4M does not look like a Mac app while Safari Buddy does. So please try both (I did) and let me know.

P.S. I REALLY would like to know.
