Saft - version & password reqd
Authored by: kissedsmiley on Nov 04, '04 09:17:41PM

the great-sounding crash protection (totally worth $10) (apple should buy it!) is Saft v7.2.0 "New feature: Crash protection that restores browser windows to the state before crash"

but that didn't tell me til download/install _and_ inputting of my password that it only works on the latest osx/safari (10.3.5 & safari1.2.3/v125.9)

So I guess I have to wait til I research if 10.3.5 is safe... I forget the places I usually look for that info. Hints? :)

Separately, being security conscious of inputting my admin password, this program does ask for it.

So I clicked on the info for why it wanted password, and it still didn't make sense. It said just something like need admin. But the library directory it claimed it would create is under a writeable area... so I don't get it??

p.s. happy birthday osxhints!

If an OSX version hasn't received bad press in a week then it's probably a safe version to include.

Remember that you won't see if an update is safe to use in the same way you don't see a report of houses that have NOT caught on fire when you're investigating how flammable a specific neighbour is..;-)

10.3.5 hasn't received any security complaints and it's been out for some time already, so you can assume it's safe. You won't receive a confirmation that it's safe because it can't be done.
