SafariPlus

Dave — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 01:27:42 +0000

A cool little addon for Safari which allows you to set favourite cookies, so that either none favourite cookies (even those with extra long life spans) can be deleted when you close Safari, or only favourite cookies can be made, updated and saved.

In addition SafariPlus gives you the options to either disable all flash movies embedded in webpages or those from thrid party websites.
