Save Time on your Mac with Quicksilver

How many clicks or keystrokes does it take you to launch your favorite web browser?  How many seconds does it take?

Most Mac users just add Safari or Firefox to their dock and then when they want to go online, they reach for their mouse, look for the appropriate icon and then click it to launch the application.

Well, if you’re like me, after a while, you end up with over 2 dozen icons in your dock, and over 100 applications installed on your machine.  Trying to find the correct icon in the dock (if it’s even there) becomes a tad tricky, especially if you only use that application once in a while.

The solution: a free utility called Quicksilver.
