Safari Extensions

Easily view your Facebook newsfeed, profile, notifications and inbox from any webpage.  Click on the Facebook icon in the toolbar and Facebook Quick View will appear in your browser window.  Click outside the Quick View and you are back where you started.  Quick View allows you to comment, like and much more.

My apologies to everyone who submitted extensions in the last few days; I’ve been lax in posting them, but they should all go live within the next twenty-four hours.

I downloaded David Jones’ Beautipedia extension for Safari (which turns Wikipedia into a more readable and attractive site). However I found it a bit ‘clunky’ so I edited the style-sheet and cleaned it up, making it lighter and more subtle as well as introducing line spacing and more.

Enhance your shopping experience, augment search results with price history charts

When you search a product on Google or retailer’s website, “Shopping Assistant” automatically displays similar products available on Amazon.com. What is more, it augments the results with their price history charts, and enhances your shopping experience.

Sites:

• Searching engines: Google, Bing, Yahoo Shopping, .etc
• Major booksellers: Barnes & Noble, Borders, .etc
• Popular shopping websites: eBay, Bestbuy, WalMart, Newegg, Buy.com, Sears, .etc
• Popular deals site: slickdeals, Fatwallet, .etc

Display your location in Safari.  Know the location information that is given to websites. Note: Apple location services only work when you have a wi-fi connection enabled.

It’s worth noting that this developer currently has no other products on a somewhat sparse website that otherwise seems space-oriented. While my gut says they’re on the up-and-up, you should always be careful about using unknown software that has the ability to reveal your location to others.

Creates a button to take you from any .com site the .co.uk version. Allows you to change the Google Search Bar from .com to .co.uk to get localised results. Other extensions (.fr for instance) can be made on request. Update should allow this to be changed via settings.
