Is anyone other than me using Glims for Safari?

For me it took quite a lot of setting up, but is definitely worth it for the full screen, more search engine for the toolbar etc.

Glims is pretty much an essential add-on for Safari. It adds a LOT of extra functionality. The customizable search engines alone is terrific.

Glims has been a very essential piece of software for quite a few years...

Is it dead?

Pretty much nothing works in Yosemite / Safari 8.

My 3 most used:
No option for any other search engines available, but changes the default to Bing.
Fave icons does not work.
Eliminating the stupid full width tabs does not work.

Even prevents opening new blank tabs from working properly.
I will have to find another browser - don't care how much "faster" the new Safari is supposed to be...

I open a lot of new tabs - anyone know how/what app will get rid of the full width tabs, it would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if Glims still works with Safari. I removed it after Safari was updated with Mavericks. Nothing from the developer as to when a Yosemite compatible version will be released.

Get rid of wide tabs with cosyTabs - link - works a treat.
