Thanks to a pointer from Jeremy Lu, I’ve got the Antique Safari Reader hack running in Safari 5.1. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’d missed it since updating to Lion. I’ve updated the instructions page to include the Lion location of Reader.html.

The file is now located at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Safari.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Reader.html. A quick…

Hey, you’re just in time for another “stupid trick of the day” script. I have good reason for this one, and it only took me about 8 minutes to set up. It will take me longer to write about it than it’s probably worth, but it might be of use to anyone in a similar situation. Here’s the scenario:

Apparently I missed the memo: TabLinks 2.0 was actually approved by Apple in September. I’ve been sitting on my hands and just recently bothered to write them and ask what was up.

Primer: gleeBox is an amazing extension for Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) that gives you keyboard navigation of links, bookmarks, bookmarklets and more. If you haven’t tried it out, you should.

A while back I wrote about fixing the highlights in gleeBox. I found them just ugly enough to require measures to soften the colors and handle padding a little differently…

Due in part to the inclusion of Instapaper Beyond in Apple’s Safari Extensions Gallery, I’ve put together a dedicated “microsite” for Instapaper Beyond. You can check it out at http://​brettterpstra​.com/​i​n​s​t​a​p​a​p​e​r​b​e​y​ond.

It uses the same navigation as Instapaper Beyond (mmm, clever), so pressing “h” will bring down a menu…
