This week's Pick of the Week was based on several hint submissions over the last few months. Each of these read something like "Did you know you can scroll web pages in Safari by just holding down the Control key, and then moving the mouse up and down?" Every time I tried this, regardless of which machine or OS X version, it failed. After some exchanges with one of the hint authors, we figured it out -- it's the Saft extension that brings this useful feature to Safari. Saft is an extension that adds a whole slew of new features and new menu items to Safari. In addition to the above-mentioned scrolling feature, here are a few of Saft's other enhancements: These are just a few of the more interesting features; Saft does more. There's a free demo available; it will pop-up an annoying message until you register Saft. After having used it for only a few days now, though, my $10 is now headed in their direction. Saft really does make Safari more usable -- I still prefer Firefox, but Safari + Saft is now a stronger competitor for my browsing time.
