Apple released the Safari Version 5.0.1 which now allows users to add a link to Safari Extensions Gallery, a page promoting the new add-ons. The Safari Web browser now supports third-party extensions, bringing little add-ons like Flashblock and Greasemonkey to the masses. Interestingly, Safari Reader also removes irritating ads and other visual distractions from online articles now. With the introduction of Safari 5 and its support of extension architecture, Apple finally filled a gap its browser’s feature list. In addition, Apple released security updates for Safari 5- Mac and Windows and Safari 4.1 for Mac OS X Tiger.

Extensions are a great way for you to add new features to Safari 5.0.1. Built by developers, Safari Extensions use the latest HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript web technologies. And they’re digitally signed and sandboxed for improved security. You can install extensions with one click and no need to restart Safari.

The link to the Safari Extensions Gallery is found under the Safari menu item on the Mac. Safari 5.0.1 lets users download and install extensions from the Safari Extensions Gallery on Apple’s website or directly from a developer’s site, the company said. (Download it right away: http://extensions.apple.com/ )

The Safari Gallery is broken down into categories, including News, Shopping, Search Tools, Social Networking, Entertainment, Productivity, Bookmarking, Security, RSS Tools, Twitter Tools, Translation, URL Shorteners, Email, Photos, Developer and Other. The Safari Gallery page design is more like the iTunes Store, offering a top well that promotes half dozen extensions and followed by category listings. It’s much more developer friendly than the Dashboard widget promo page.

Note: The update also addresses some security and compatibility issues, including 32-bit JavaScript encryption, compatibility with certain Web sites, and Flash 10.1 compatibility.
