Safari Enhancer

Dave — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 15:31:26 +0000

Allows you make a few “enhancements” to Safari, the main and most useful for me was the addition of a debug menu, which among other things enables you identify safari as other browsers and so offers a very useful get around for the silly web sites that insist on their users using internet explorer.
