- roryokane 16y agoSafari 5 actually introduced support for extensions. They were not possible before. What was possible before were plug-ins, but they were and are unsupported by Apple, and required coding in Objective-C instead of HTML and JavaScript, which more people know.
- e1ven 16y agoSafari 5 includes support for Chrome/Jetpack style HTML + JS Extensions, whereas before Safari didn't include extension support directly. Some tools, like 1Password did load "extensions" in Safari, but they did with hacks like SIMBL, which Apple discouraged use of.
