GlimmerBlocker... The problem with other ad-blockers for Safari is that they are implemented as awful hacks: as an InputManager and/or ApplicationEnhancer. This compromises the stability of Safari and very often create problems when Apple releases a new version of Safari. GlimmerBlocker is implemented as an http proxy, so the stability of Safari isn’t compromised because it doesn’t use any hacks. It is even compatible with all other browsers. You’ll always be able to upgrade Safari without breaking GlimmerBlocker (or waiting for a new release); and you’ll be able to upgrade GlimmerBlocker without upgrading Safari. This makes it much easier to use the beta versions of Safari and especially the nightly builds of WebKit. Because GlimmerBlocker doesn’t hack Safari, there is a few things it isn’t able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for ad

But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it. So I’ll hope you’re happy with the tradeoff.
If you can program in Javascript you’ll be able to add your own modification to pages. See the included filters for examples, e.g. adding a download link to YouTube.

Tincta is a stable, fast, intuitive and free text editor for Mac OS X. We are currently working on the first version - feel free to test the beta and give us feedback and tell us what you miss. It combines the most intelligent coloring algorithms with the least resource use. And of course you can freely change the color profiles according to your taste. Tincta's line numbering engine not only is fast enough to numberate the Bible in the blink of an eye but also supports line wrapping with ease. Tincta knows when an open file was changed by another application and supports full drag & drop. Tincta was written and designed from ground up. We don't use any third party code or technologies (besides Mac OS X) and we keep our codebase small and clean. Other features that makes working with texts easier:
convert line endings
convert tabs to spaces (or vice versa)
change case
show invisible characters
search and replace
page guide
printing
spelling correction
change encodings
