Description

Are you tired of performing the same tedious web tasks over and over again? Do you wish there was an easier way to automate your web interactions? Look no further than Fake for Mac, the revolutionary new browser that simplifies web automation.

Fake allows you to drag discrete browser actions into a graphical workflow that can be run again and again without human interaction. The workflows you create can be saved, reopened, and shared with others. Inspired by Apple's Automator application, Fake looks like a combination of Safari and Automator that allows you to run (and re-run) "fake" interactions with the web.

Power users will love Fake for automating tedious web tasks like filling out lengthy forms and capturing screenshots. Developers can use Fake for graphically configuring automated tests for their webapps, including assertions, assertion failure handlers, and error handlers.

All of Fake's automation features are powered by Mac OS X's native scripting tool - AppleScript. This means that Fake can be used to incorporate web automation into many other OS X scripting tasks.

Fake's browser component is based on the same open source technology behind the popular Mac OS X Site Specific Browser Fluid. That means it has powerful features developers expect from a modern browser like Userscript and Userstyle support. However, what sets it apart is its proprietary secret sauce in its web automation capabilities - the Action Library and Workflow side pane.

The Action Library contains pre-built actions that allow users to interact with websites in various ways such as clicking buttons or filling out forms. These actions are customizable so users can modify them according to their needs or create new ones from scratch using JavaScript or AppleScript.

The Workflow side pane displays all of your created workflows in one place making it easy to manage them all at once. You can also add comments or notes within each workflow so others know what each one does without having to open it up first!

One of the best things about using Fake is how easy it is to share your workflows with others! Simply export them as files which they can then import into their own copy of fake! This makes collaboration between team members much more efficient since everyone has access to the same set of tools!

In conclusion, if you're looking for an easier way to automate your repetitive website interactions then look no further than Fake for Mac! With its intuitive interface combined with powerful automation capabilities powered by AppleScript this software will save time while increasing productivity!

Review

For users who perform advanced Web tasks, manually tracking pages can be time-consuming. Those users may find the automated functioning of Fake for Mac useful. However, regular users looking for a simple browser should look elsewhere.

Fake for Mac offers a free trial version, but its limitations and restrictions are unknown. The full version requires a $29.95 payment. While there was no native installer, the program downloaded and completed setup as expected. Upon startup the first things we noticed were the browser's menus, which were cluttered. The lack of instruction was a problem as well. The left menu contained the main browser window, which was narrower than typical applications. Instead of tabs, a small thumbnail-size window appeared along the top row for pages that were open. The basic browser did navigate and render pages as expected for this type of program. The right side menu contained various buttons to automate advanced Web features. While these might be understood by advanced users, the average Mac user would probably find them difficult to interpret. The functions are for automated page loading, site image capture, and other HTML and CSS functions. These can be started by pressing a play button along the program's right side.

While basically functional as a browser, only advanced users would be able to take advantage of the unique automated features of Fake for Mac.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Fake for Mac 1.8.9.
