Clearly, not every Mac user has this opinion, but for me the choice is clear. When I use a Mac, I want it to feel like a Mac – that’s the real reason. Also, maybe Safari is faster, but that’s not why I use it. Safari also is pretty good about standards compliance, and supports HTML5 and H.264 video, which Firefox currently says they won’t do. Firefox UI pieces don’t feel right because it’s all based on XUL, not native UI ( Camino, however, has a truly native UI.) Firefox is an excellent cross-platform browser, but its cross-platform roots show.

Oh, and why do I use Safari in general? It’s a real, Mac-like application, that uses Mac user-interface controls, and interfaces with built-in Mac OS X features like the address book, keychain, spell checker, etc.

Killing Flash and keyword ads just encourages people to use less onerous advertising. Lord knows newspapers and magazines are struggling, the last thing they need is their one, already inadequate, online income stream made worse. So killing all their ads deprives them of income that allows the site to exist. But most sites depend on ad revenue to keep them in business.

Blocking Flash and obnoxious javascript keyword ads is one thing – they are buggy, slow, extra-annoying. One note about adblockers, of which I’m sure there are many. Ok, that does it for my handful of ideas.

ClickToPlugin – Similar to the extension that kills Flash, this knocks out any tag so that would stop things like Silverlight, Quicktime (I think), etc.

I briefly used a plug-in blocker extension, but now, low and behold, a Safari Extension Version of Click to Flash exists.

The awesome Click To Flash is a Safari plug-in, so Mac OS X only.

I’m surprised there isn’t an extension that replaces Arial with Helvetica (though I guess Windows computers don’t have Helevtica, do they?) Either eliminate Comic Sans entirely or make it be everywhere.

Open in Papers – I haven’t used this one but it’s a replacement for the Papers bookmarklet, let’s you open any page inside the popular Papers program to manage, um, papers, journal articles, etc.

Reload Button – Brings back a reload button in the toolbar.

You’ll just get the web-page based preview of the song or movie.

NoMoreiTunes – This will keep web pages from launching iTunes.

(Many people, including Kelle, are big fans of OnePassword, which saves/syncs passwords on multiple computers, and works in various browsers.) Useful on your home computer, perhaps it’s best if your work computer can’t save you bank password, etc.

AutoComplete – Be a bit careful with this one, it’ll let you use Safari’s saved password entry feature on any site, and ignore those financial institutions and other places that forbid autocompletion of forms.

AutoPagerize – This one doesn’t work on every site perfectly, but in theory this will automagically load the next page of annoying sites that artificially create page breaks (Slate, I’m looking at you.).

Much simpler than Firefox’s NoScript, which is entirely too complicated for my needs.

If you download only one extension, make it this one.

From Tynt ( shame on Wired for using it) to the Meebo Sharebar to all those annoying ads based on keywords with the double-underlined green text.

Javascript BlackList – By far my favorite, this blacklist can kill just about any annoying script on any page.

So, below are some of my favorites, mostly culled from those lists: Tidbits posted a list of five essential extensions, and Macworld 25 of their favorites. With the release of Safari 5.01 and the official Apple Safari Extensions Gallery, lists are popping up all over about favorite Safari extensions, as Apple has brought this Firefox-esque attributed to Windows and Mac versions of Safari. And having used Firefox for a while now having been forced to use Windows at work, I do see the merit of this sort of flexibility. Three years ago, I asked why do Mac users use Firefox? The answer was very clear – extensions.
