Browsing with Safari
Even though most people look to Firefox as the end-all be-all for browsing the web, I’ve stuck with Safari. It’s fast and most importantly, the keystroke short-cuts are built-in andĀ intuitive. There might be an add-on now, but I had to use something like Quickeys in order to even manouver within Firefox.
Other people swear by software like Saft, but I only have two that I swear by. And they are free.
PithHelmet is the best Adblocker for Safari. I tried Safari AdBlock and found it a chore. PithHelmet doesn’t rely on external lists to do its job. Though it does come with many blocking strings for popular ad distribution methods. What makes PithHelmet stand out, is the ability to customize how the ad blocking is done for any web site or blocking string. From blocking single images to wildcarding an entire domain, PithHelmet is easy and highly functional.
Safari Cookies manages your cookies far better than the Safari version. First, it groups them together by web site so there aren’t hundreds to scroll through. Second, after selecting your wanted cookies, you can have SC delete your non-favorite cookies whenever Safari quits. Bye bye ad trackers and other garbage.
