What's the deal with all the smart-ass comments? I don't think Apple is touting this as a apple-only breakthough! They are improving safari, let's all be happy that there is one more browser with extensions.]]>Jul 28th 2010 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Exactly!

Christ you lot are ridiculous... Hate on Steve Jobs for the whole iPhone debacle, but why the hate on Safari? APPLE ARE SUCH BASTARDS FOR IMPROVING SAFARI111

Safari's had extensions for ages btw, long before Chrome was even in existence, this just makes it more streamlined is all.... ]]>Jul 28th 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
4 words: "too small, too late"

It is a nice news for people that use Safari as the main browser but i dunno if they really wanted those new features because it is easy to install another browser (and for free) instead of wait for one decent update x year.

Every since the release of Chrome on my Macs I don't even have Firefox in my dock anymore. The only time I ever use Firefox is for the Firebug plug-in. I'm currently torn between Chrome and Safari. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Testimony from a Safari user: yes I'd very much appreciate more useful extensions and an easier way of finding and installing it.

@whiners:
I don't think anyone is pretending Apple invented browser extensions or that Safari has the best ones. They just made it a little easier and apparently they cleaned up the way you make them so they are more in line with the other standards Safari is based on.

Firefox extensions aren't so great in all their aspects either by the way, for example the fact that they break on about every single browser update (ie: at least twice a week) annoys the hell out of me.

Yeah, pretty much, but its Apple, so its more slick and classy.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
Agreed, its the same here, I installed Firefox again recently just because I thought it would be funny to put the "BeiberShaver" on it, which was pretty fun, but I uninstalled it quickly after. It's really unneeded. I use Google Chrome for all of my web browsing, and I use Safari for downloading things from the cache (youtube videos, streaming music) because it has the ability to view the activity window showing all items comprising the web page you are viewing.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
[1] No restarting for extensions
[2] All extension are signed by a root authority for free, so there is actual security, no an illusion of it.
[3] Enable and disable all or some with a click and NO restarts
[4] All extensions are written in HTML + JS + CSS, no silly XUL to learn.

Firefox is a carthorse on my relatively new Mac. Start up alone takes ages.

The coda notes app was impressive. I'm looking forward to see what people can do.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
Bingo.

Apple innovation is awesome.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
You assume that people hate Apple just for the "iPhone debacle."

You know what happens when you assume, right?

The recent iPhone shenanigans is only one thing. It finally showed what a dishonest and arrogant company they are to a wider group of people. Unfortunately, fans like you don't seem to care.

Yay! Apple added a years-old feature to their browser. Who cares?

If MS added extensions to IE a la Firefox no one would care either.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
"Firefox extensions aren't so great in all their aspects either by the way"

No one is forcing you to use them.


"for example the fact that they break on about every single browser update (ie: at least twice a week) annoys the hell out of me."

Twice a week... way to exaggerate.
Yes, some extensions break when Mozilla releases MAJOR updates. But like any third party software, it's up to the DEVELOPER to make sure THEIR code runs.

If extensions are too much of hassle for you then DON'T USE THEM, or Firefox, for that matter.]]>Jul 28th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
I like how some people think that because another browser does something, that Safari shouldn't also do it.]]>Jul 28th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
Yes, but for the millions of Safari users, this is one less reason to ever use Firefox or Chrome again.

(I continued to be amazed that people don't understand that Apple doesn't care to be first; they never are first. They want to do it the best. Sometimes they hit the mark, and sometimes they don't, but being first has never been Apple's priority.)]]>Jul 28th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/+1 for using "streets ahead". ]]>Jul 28th 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/Jul 28th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
So, it has all the advantages of Jetpack, then, which is slated to replace XUL extensions in future versions of Firefox? You know, same way Personas replaced XUL themes.]]>Jul 28th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/apple-releases-safari-5-0-1-extensions-gallery-now-open/
