Apple began rolling out Safari extensions earlier this year, letting developers graft their own tools on top of its browser. Now the Mac-maker has launched a gallery to show off the best extensions, and the tech big guns have come out in support: eBay, Microsoft Bing, Amazon and Twitter are all on board, as well as content owners such as the New York Times and MLB.com.
You can take a peek at the new Safari Extensions Gallery at extensions.apple.com and if you’ve installed the newly updated Safari 5.0.1 browser extensions can be downloaded directly from developer’s websites.
The benefits of Safari extensions depend who’s made them. Amazon’s making a shortcut to add products from any website to your Amazon wishlist, while Microsoft Bing reacts to highlighted text, popping up “intelligent suggestions” to go with it.
