Open Source AppleScript Browser Extensions and Plugins

Since the governments of some countries are using the blocking the internet access to several websites and web service providers which includes some world famous sites like Google, YouTube, twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia etc., we designed this tiny utility in order to help people getting through the Internet blockade. Hosts Setup Utility provides basic tools to manage the hosts file on current operating systems. It also provides both support for Graphical Desktop environment with Graphical User Interface (GUI) and CLI environment with Text-based User Interface (TUI). Users could use these tool to modify the hosts to visit specified websites or services blocked by ISP/government. Functions which help users to backup/restore hosts files are also provided. For more detailed information, please visit the website of this project.

For Safari 5.1 or greater on OS X 10.7 - 10.9 (I have received feedback this app does not effectively remove cookies etc in Yosemite. The underlying applescript can be updated to target newer locations in 10.10 by any adventurous folks out there, as described in the read me) This application provides options to clear cookies, cache, history, top sites, saved state, and "local storage" (Safari and Flash storage) automatically each time Safari quits. There is also an option to turn Safari's Private Browsing on automatically on launch. Just launch SafariCleaner and select the items you want to clear on quit, simple as that! Note: If you want to use the Private Browsing feature, you must go to System Preferences-->Universal Access and check "Enable access for assistive devices" I hope you'll find this app helpful. If you have any comments, feedback about bugs, or feature requests, please post them in the forum. Thanks.
