I used to love using chrome but since Lion came out I've stuck to Safari.

Safari with Glims --> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27708/glims = awesome

Also - for videos, what do people do? VLC Player?
Prefer MPlayer but sometimes use VLC with the BlackPearl Skin.

I was intrigued when I saw this... so I tried it and I don't like

Anyone know how to remove this 'mod' without uninstalling all of VLC?

What do people use for extracting/creating archives?

Do you know what that encrypts? I want to encrypt everything that is useful. Stored passwords and settings, files, etc... (if that makes sense)

I use TinyExpander.
