Add Extensions to Apple’s Safari Browser with One Click

Now Apple has updated Safari and made it very simple to install extensions from their official Extension Gallery.

First, though, you’ll need to check that you have Safari 5.0.1 or later installed.

grab the update or installation, and click Install.

Be sure to uncheck the other updates they offer that might be needless on your system.

Alternately, download Safari from the link below, and install as normal.

hit the Gear icon in the far right of the toolbar, and select Safari Extensions Gallery.

When you find an extension you’d like to install, nudge the Install Now button below the description.

Seconds later, the button will change to show that your extension is now installed.

That’s all there is to it; your extension is now running with only one click!

Safari Extensions can add lots of functionality to the internet tool.

It also lets you search Twitter directly from a sidebar in Safari.

tap the gear icon on the right of the toolbar, and select Preferences in the menu.

Click Extensions on the top of the Preferences window.

Here you might change controls for your extensions, or click Uninstall to remove an extension.

Click Uninstall to confirm you wish to uninstall this extension.

Install Extension Updates AutomaticallyOddly, Safari will not automatically download and install updates for extensions by default.

However, you’ve got the option to activate automatic update if you’d like.

kick off the Preferences window and select Extensions as above.

This time, grab the Updates link in the bottom of the extension list.

Check the Install Updates Automatically box, and you’re all set.

Safari will double check that you wish to install this extension.

If you’re sure you trust the extension, click Install to add it to Safari.

We’ve already tweaked Safari on our computers with nice new features and tools.
