Safari A leScript to enable Private Browsing, mount temporary download disk image

Now that we know how to enable the A leScript menubar item, it's time to give Safari some A leScript-enabled privacy features.

For all those times when you need to enable Private Browsing and 'private downloading' in Safari, a macosxhints reader has posted an A leScript with setup i tructio that can enable Private Browsing and mount a disk image and temporarily changing Safari's download folder to said disk image for the ultimate in browsing privacy (macosxhints uses 'online banking' as a usage scenario; I gue that works).

The script requires a little bit of setup and customization however, so check out the post for i tructio . When you're finished you'll have a simple, handy A leScript that prompts you to enable or disable Private Browsing in Safari, and then it will mount your encrypted (pa word-prompted) disk image for safe, secure and private downloading as well. Enjoy.
