Aphex's App of the Week - Week of 8/4/08

Info: Glims adds a cocktail of features to Safari ( Tabs, Thumbnails, Full Screen, Search Engines, Search Suggestions, Type Ahead ... ) Current features list:
My Take: I had been using a combo of Safari Stand and Inquisitor for awhile, but noticed some Safari instability (dunno if it was related to the plugins or not, but when I removed them it seemed to fix the issues). Came across this yesterday on TUAW and thought i would give it a try, especially since this one program combined the two main features i used from the other two apps (drop down search tab w/ multiple search engines) and auto-download window closer. I also was intrigued by the thumbnails it added to google search. Sure enough, it works great so far. The google thumbnails are actually very useful IMO and speedy as well, surprisingly as fast as normal google. Worth a look
