Despite reports that PayPal may drop support for Apple’s Safari browser because it lacks anti-phishing features, PayPal now says it ain’t so. Though PayPal telegraphed displeasure with Safari last January, they’re now unambiguous about their position: “We have absolutely no intention of blocking current versions of any browsers, including Apple’s Safari, from our website.”

All platforms with Firefox: Previously mentioned Firefox extension GTDGmail has been revamped, renamed, and relaunched as GTDInbox 2.0, and it’s still a fantastic way to organize your email using the Getting Things Done system. GTDInbox sets up labels like Next Actions, Waiting On, and Someday in your Gmail and adds mechanisms to quickly categorize and review your messages the David Allen way. GTDInbox is smart: If you have a message labelled “Next Action” and then label it “Finished,” it automatically removes the action label. GTDGmail can turn starred messages into next actions automatically.
It also lets you review actions by date—what’s been around less than a week, longer than a week, longer than a month, and longer than three months. GTDInbox is so good it’s a convincing case against separating email from to-do’s. The GTDInbox extension is a free download (donations accepted) for all platforms running Firefox, and it plays nice with our own Better Gmail 2 (just be sure to uncheck Folders4Gmail option for now.)

I am sure a lot of you have heard of it but for those of you that haven’t Fluid is a small cocoa application that creates real desktop apps of any webapp (or web site for that matter) that you wish.
So, for example, if I use google reader a lot you simply plug in reader.google.com into its simple opening window, along with a name of your choice, [in this case I would strongly suggest Google reader].
Fluid then goes to work and creates a proper app and places it in a directory of your choosing. It even sets its icon to be the favicon from the browser or an icon you specify. There is a Flickr group that makes a bunch of really great icons for all the well known web apps that look a lot better than the favicons.
