Now that Apple has made it possible to create Safari Extensions I've been looking for some useful ones. After searching the Web a bit and browsing Apple's Safari Extensions Gallery, these are the ones I have installed:

• AdBlock for Safari: Blocks ads (and prevents ad code from being downloaded)


• Type-To-Navigate: Lets you highlight and follow links without taking your hands off the keyboard. Type any text that occurs inside a link and then hit return to follow the link.


• BetterSource: View source (original or generated) with syntax highlighting and line numbers.


• ClickToFlash: Replaces all Flash objects with a placeholder, letting you decide if and when to view Flash content.


• Resizer: Lets you specify and quickly switch between a number of preset window sizes and their on-screen positions. Great for getting your preferred window size back after you've had to make your browser window wider to accommodate an over-wide site.


• Safari Validator: Like the HTML Validator extension for Firefox, Safari Validator performs local HTML validation inside the browser. Note: I haven't been able to get it to actually work, but it is so useful that I'm mentioning it anyway.
