Existing users, 
Which Glims-only-feature/features or "better-realized-feature"
could force a mostly satisfied SAFT-user,
working with Leopard and Snow Leoprad
to switch to Glims?
What is missing, that Saft has and Glims does not?
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Glims
Adds features to Safari: improved search, thumbnails in search results...
Version: 1.0b23
Should Saft-users switch to Glims? - morepowerfulastronaut
I'm a former Saft user that switched to Glims. The only major feature I can think of off the top of my head that Saft offers that Glims doesn't is ad blocking. However, since I use GlimmerBlocker, this doesn't affect me. All told, their feature sets are very similar. I prefer some things in Glims, in particular its awesome drop-down search suggestions. The problem with Saft as I see it is that it doesn't provide any real motivation to pay for it rather than just use Glims. The new Saft version for 64-bit Safari on Snow Leopard requires a paid upgrade, while Glims is now fully 64-bit SL compatible at no charge. I think that Saft's developer should be introducing new features if he wants people to pay to upgrade. If you already own a Saft for SL licence, you might not see much reason to switch to Glims, but if you're deciding on a paid upgrade, I strongly suggest trying Glims before you shell out for Saft.Reply to This
