Safari 5 has just been released and official Safari extensions are right around the corner. This tutorial will show you how to enable the extensions preference menu. Once this is enabled you will be able to disable, enable, and update extensions as they are released.
A few minutes before I crafted this tutorial, Apple released Safari 5. This new version of Safari now can run extensions which are small programs that perform tasks only within the browser. As of right now, there are no official extensions available; however, there will be soon.
The user will manage extension from the extensions menu. However, you are now probably noticing that you can’t find your extensions menu. Here’s how to enable it.
1. From within the Preferences of Safari 5, select the Advanced tab.
2. Select Show Develop menu in menu bar
3. Close Preferences
4. Select the Develop menu
5. Select Enable Extensions
6. Reopen Preferences and the Extensions tab will now be present.
Now you’ll be ready to manage all your Safari extensions. Further directions on installing and uninstalling Safari extensions is available.
