A URL shortcut to Safari's bookmark manager
Authored by: guybrush on Sep 23, '04 06:13:06PM

wouldnt it be cool if safari also supported: about:config like in firefox, where you can tweak all kinds of advanced settings :)

one thing i dont like about safari is when you browse to a page with alot of animated gifs it will lag when you type..
(like on a messageboard where you want to make a reply and it has a table with all the animated smileys you can choose from)

firefox has an option to make an animated gif play only once i believe

Install a copy of Pith Helmet; it adds rule-based ad blocking to Safari and has an option to make animated gifs animate only once.

Check "Bury PithHelmet Menu" under the PithHelmet preferences.

thx, i couldnt find the preferences pane in safari (so i assumed there wasnt one) so i looked in the help after your post, and found that it was a bug.

solved it by removing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist :)

thx, great app
