Michal Migurski Wants His Safari

Submitted by edbatista on Fri, 2005-10-21 16:01.

Michal Migurski is waiting not-so-patiently for the Safari version of the AttentionTrust Extension, currently available only for Firefox. That major flaw aside, it sounds like he's having fun:

So far, so good - all of my "clicks" are being recorded along with HTTP response code and cookie status (not cookie content). I'm using the default ACME-style display to show my browsing behavior, but it's going to be time to modify it to show some difference between recent activity and overall activity. The extension logs all "normal" website visits. It skips subrequests such as XHR, images or stylesheets, and I had to dig around a little to figure out why I wasn't seeing logs of my secure browsing activity - these are disabled by default.

The extension only works in Firefox, and an Internet Explorer version is planned, with no announced release date. I can't possibly recommend a Safari version strongly enough. I've had to switch to Firefox for the duration of my experiment, and I'm really homesick.

I'm a dedicated Firefox user, but 1) I agree that we need to develop a Safari version of the extension, and I'll look into what it'll take to make that happen, and 2) I totally agree with Michal's complaint that Firefox's keyboard shortcut for switching among tabs just out-and-out sucks. Anyone want to take that one on?
