Share Your Think All: HOW TO: Install Safari Extensions

Safari Extensions is technically a developer-only feature at the moment. So first things first, you’ve got to turn on the developer tools to enable extension functionality. Here’s a step-by-step guide to do just that:

Open Preferences in Safari 5
Select the “Advanced” Tab
Scroll down and tick the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” box
From the new “Develop” menu, select “Enable Extensions”

If you follow the above steps, the Preferences menu will include a new “Extensions” tab where you can manage Safari extensions.

Find and Install Extensions

The official Safari Extensions Gallery will open later this summer. But, there’s extensions already out in the wild; you can find some of them via the Safari Extensions Tumblr, an unofficial gallery showcasing several extensions.
To date, extensions are limited but include things like Amazon Search Bar, Reload Button, Scribefire, Gmail Checker and AdBlock.
Extension installation is fairly straightforward: Simply download and open the extension file and a prompt box will ask if you want to install the extension. Click Install to automatically update your Safari 5 browser with the extension.
