The browser formerly known as Safari HD is now “Couch Surfer”
After a little run in with the lawyers from Apple concerning the the name and the logo of “Safari HD”, Brandon has decided to change the name of his immensely popular browser plugin to “Couch Surfer” along with a new logo.
The files are listed below. Download away!

To get flash working copy the whole folder “/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/” to “/Users/frontrow/Library”.

I know this is a work in progress… (it’s excellent so far)
Is there a way (or is there a fix coming) to handle links which open a new browser window??? As it is now, with one screen obviously, Couch surfer can’t handle HTML links which open a 2nd window it seems.

If you’ve already upgraded to the new Apple TV software then you can follow the instructions at

Fantastic Idea. . .problem is I’m a tech fan but new to mac. Can’t figure out how to download this to the Apple TV. Directions were clearly above my skill set. Anyone willing to simplify, would be greatly appreciated.

What files did the original SafariHD install? and should I remove these (how?) before installing the Couch Surfer version?

Brilliant forum and concept!
Is there a tutorial on how to install the new Couch Surfer? Do I use the USB stick patch method seen elsewhere?
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Brandon… I tried all sorts of different key combinations, but not holding the button for a longer time…. This is brilliant, I can use it now!

FYI you can shrink and enlarge the font size by hold rewind or fast-foward in scroll mode. Rewind shrinks the font and fast-forward enlarges the font. Not sure if anyone had figured that out or not
