It’s only been about three weeks since Safari 5 was released, and with it support for Safari extensions.
Since then I’ve been exploring all the delights posted at the Safari Extensions Tumblr and finding some really great stuff, and lots of ideas.
I’ve now got 10 installed extensions (see screenshot above) and I’m finding them all very useful. Some replace scripts and hacks I used to use on other browsers; there’s also quite a few extensions that replace the need to use certain bookmarklets.
The one I use most is probably Type-to-navigate, although that has recently been supplemented with Jack Mottram’s Hinter.
I’m already so dependant on these extensions that I’d feel uncomfortable using Safari without them.
How about you? Have you explored extensions much? Found any fabulous hidden gems?
