LaunchBar offers an intuitive and efficient way to control your computer, providing keyboard mediated access to of documents, folders, bookmarks and email addresses, applications and preference panes by entering short abbreviations of the searched item's name. You just hit Command-Space to bring LaunchBar's input window to front, enter an arbitrary abbreviation, and as soon as you start typing LaunchBar displays the best matching choices, ready to be opened immediately. For example, when I type "moz" here's what shows up in the LaunchBar menu. 
The more letters you type, the more precisely LaunchBar will home in on what you're looking for, and the shorter the menu list will be. LaunchBar also lets you browse mounted volumes using the arrow keys instead of typing letters, and you can grab an item from the LaunchBar and drag it to the Finder, the Dock, or an application window, or drag an item from the Finder to an application listed in the LaunchBar. Also, when you activate LaunchBar (Command > Spacebar), if you hit the Spacebar again or type Command > R, LaunchBar becomes an application switcher. 
LaunchBar Features:
After you install LaunchBar, a small bar will appear when you toggle Command > Spacebar placed in some corner of your desktop ready to receive your keystrokes. All you have to do is to enter a few letters contained in the name of the item you are looking for. And already while you are typing this short abbreviation, the best matching item is evaluated in a fraction of a second - ready to be accessed immediately. You may perform various file operations such as starting applications, opening files or bookmarks, drag & drop, Services, etc. 
LaunchBar uses an adaptive evaluation algorithm to find the best matching items based on the abbreviation you type in. A sophisticated rating system considers the position and density of the given letters within the name of each item defined in the setup. The resulting ratings are then adjusted based on the items previous usage. The more often a specific item or abbreviation was used in the past, the better it will be rated. Thus, LaunchBar" learns" from the users habits. LaunchBar's free, built in evaluation license allows you to access a maximum of 7 different items per session. Those items can be accessed as often as you like, and even if you exceed the session limit you may still open 10 further items. The LaunchBar Business License is sells for $39 per seat, while a Home User License, restricted to non-commercial, non-profit use, is available for $19.95 per seat.

How to make Safari cloak itself From Jack Russell OSX Browser Bank and Store Compatibility Issues
Being a CitiBank card holder too, I am familiar with the problem. Just download the free Safari Enhancer and you'll be able to access CitiBank, by telling Safari to mimic Netscape. Works for me. I haven't found any financial site I cannot access using Safari Enhancer. It can mimic a plethora of browsers and one of them always works. <G> Just FYI, Jack Russell How to make Safari cloak itself From anonymous Charles, Safari Enhancer does to Safari what iCab as you reported can do, and that's cloak itself as another web browser. The User Agent in the Debug menu that is enabled by Safari Enhancer is where you enable that cloaking. You can find Safari Enhancer and links to all Mac OS X web browsers and their feedback links here: http://www.macmaps.com/Macosxspeed.html#WEBBROWSER
Sincerely,
Good stuff! Thanks for the tip guys.
