Safari Update Adds Extensions Gallery, Twitter and Bing Support

Safari Extensions Gallery
This morning, Apple unveiled the latest version of its Safari 5 browser, replete with revamped extensions support and a sparkling new extensions gallery. The new browser allows users to download extensions directly from a third-party developer's site, or from the new gallery, which Engadget describes as "the App Store for browser add-ons." So far, the gallery includes extensions from heavy hitters like Amazon, eBay, MLB.com, the New York Times and Twitter. And, given the relative ease with which extensions can be constructed with HTML5, JavaScript or CSS, users should expect to see more additions to the extensions gallery in the near future. It's great that Safari is finally getting Extensions, but, let's be honest, it's a little late to the browser add-ons party. Google Chrome and Firefox have let users customize the browsing experience for years now. Grab the new Safari 5.0.1 here, and customize away. [From: Engadget]
