Safari 5.0 extensions on parade

By | July 25, 2010, 11:18pm PDT

One of the major features of Safari 5.0 is extensions. Apple promised developers a Safari Extensions Gallery page on Apple.com and recently began accepting submissions. In the meantime, several sites are promoting the growing list of extensions available now.

One of the first promo sites is Jonas Wisser’s Safari Extensions blog. He also provides a very user-friendly guide to enabling extension support.

Another site is SafariExtensions.org. In a worthy attempt to bring order to the world of extensions, the site tries to categorize them. However, there’s an awful lot of Misc. in the list.

PimpMySafari.com offers a “pimpified” list of favorites.

The capabilities of the extensions are amazing. For example, Jérôme Gravel-Niquet this weekend released Ostrich, a sweet, free Twitter client that lives in Safari. It’s a seamless experience: where- and whenever you’re surfing, you have a button to link to that page.

Plugins are the best thing ever - for me since getting a mac and moving fully to mac os x , i was a massive windows glaucoma eye drops fan - but since spending time in safari, I just love how glaucoma surgery great it is, and how fast apple are about fixing bugs / wholes in the system.

Pimp my safari is the best site i feel, and i have spent many an hours sitting going over it all. i have lately tho bright eyes drops moved over to chrome alot more- but sure soon enough ill be back on safari happy

I just do not understand why people keep using Safari? They will never surpass Firefox in the matter of having most addons, so why even try?
However, addons is not everything. glaucoma eyes drops Google Chrome has gladly shown that.

"Plugins are the best thing ever - for me since getting a mac and moving fully to mac os x"
I'm sorry to tell you this,
bright eyes drops
but if you like plugins, you should've bought a PC, not a mac, lol.
