Softonic review

Add more power to Safari

For those who feel Safari is severely lacking in features compared to Firefox, Saft can help bridge the gap - if not very well at times.

Saft is a comprehensive plug-in that adds a significant number of new features to your Safari browser. Some of the most useful features added by Saft are draggable tabs, full-screen browsing, searchable bookmarks and history, URL shortcuts, kiosk mode and more. One of its best features is that it allows you to control where you want to open new tabs and specify different download folders for different items downloaded from the Net.

There's much more to the app than this though. Saft also includes a versatile content blocker, which allows you to block ads, pop-ups and Flash content, etc. It also allows you to reduce URLs to keywords so typing in 'Softonic', for example, will take you straight to the site. Bookmarking is also facilitated by allowing you to bookmarks whole groups of tabs in one go.

Many, however, feel that Saft has been left behind by the superior - and free - Glims, which allows you to do pretty much everything you can in Saft and more. Many have also found that it doesn't integrate very well with Safari anymore, and this was particularly true when Snow Leopard was released, and the Safari input architecture changed considerably.

Saft has probably seen its most useful days gone past it already but if for any reason Glims doesn't work out for you, it's a backup worth trying.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
