Publisher's Description
From Markus Winter:
I have to set up quite a few Macs, and as I got tired of always using the terminal to change the hidden preferences of Safari 4 I wrote a quick app in REALbasic to make life easier for me. As others might find it useful too I'm now putting it out into the wild - but please be aware that you are using it at your own risk. The app is doing the same thing that the terminal commands are doing so nothing should go haywire.
As you might have read the success of Safari 4 Modifier caught me by surprise - over 3000 downloads in the first 16 hours via versiontracker alone! As a result I exceeded my ISPs download quota (actually it is my parent's ISP) before I could move the files to a new download server and am now looking at an unexpected bill. So if you find it useful I'd appreciate a small donation to contribute to paying for the bill. Link is on my website.
What's new in this version: version 0.3.1
- enabled locking / unlocking code (sorry for the oversight)
version 0.3
- added ability to lock the Safari preference file. Changes can still be made in Safari and work but after a restart the locked settings are used. This is useful if you share your computer and someone else keeps changing the Safari preferences.
- checks on startup if Safari prefs are locked
- increased font size for better ... See all new features

Application is slow.
Application is bloated with unnecessary "features".

Developer is harassing critics. -
"Tried, Hated, Done"
Version: Safari 4 Modifier 0.2.2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Because of the stupid stabbing of Safari 4 Buddy, which is clearly the better product (and came out first) I had to write this review.
First, I will refer to a comment made: one person stated that Safari 4 Buddy didn't follow user interface guidelines because of radio buttons. Radio buttons are not against user interface guidelines while REALBasic is. Next, another person claims that this app looks better (yes, and we all love Windows).
This app is slower, uglier and Safari 4 Buddy now uses checkboxes.
There is no reason for this app to exist. It already has been done better.
Good day. -
"Made Safari 4 an option for me!"
Version: Safari 4 Modifier 0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
For us terminal unsavvy types, this is brilliant! Let's us turn off all the ugly and useless "improvements" in Safari 4 as we please. For me, it was a deal breaker -- 1000 thanks!
P.S. to "versiontracker2007": If this is "bad IT", then by all means, let's have lots more of it! -
"Safari 4 Modifier"
Version: Safari 4 Modifier 0.1
Summary

Thank God for this developer. Safari 4 is a POS. The modifier has a very simple but effective gui and works brilliantly.
The Mac browser designers must have lost their collective minds. -
"Easy to use"
Version: Safari 4 Modifier 0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Thanks for the tool -- very easy to use -- love the descriptions of the checkboxes
Moved my tabs back where they belong (Being on top was not the problem, it was the width of each bar forced fill all the space)
Thanks -
"Works great & quick!"
Version: Safari 4 Modifier 0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Works as advertised. VERY EASY - simple check boxes. It detected my current settings which I did manually using terminal. Hover over a check box & a balloon pops up with descriptive text.
Overall, great!
