Safari Enhancer

(Don't) cache me if you can: Safari became my primary web browser shortly after its release and there are only a few features missing, seldom used but handy, that I expect will be made available in a subsequent release.

One nettlesome thing, though, is that Safari doesn't provide very fine control over the web cache at all. In particular, this interferes with some web-based bulletin boards, personals systems, web mail and other applications that serve dynamic information. Too often, Safari pulls old information from its cache, even when newer data is available; there's currently no option to expire the cache or to force Safari to always get the newest edition of a page.

Fortunately, there's a free third-party utility called Safari Enhancer that at least allows you to turn off caching altogether. It also provides some handy tools for removing the brushed metal interface features, importing bookmarks, setting default text and color options and more.
