Block Fanfic Characters by nothorse →

Fear not. This extension for Safari will hide any and every story from your eyes, if the hated character shows up in the...

Tumblr Notifier by Ethan Sherbondy →
Notifier was broken for a bit after Tumblr changed they way they handle new post notifications. I’m happy to report it’s now back up and running. If you have Safari and love getting notified when new content appears in your Dashboard, grab it! You don’t even need to enter your credentials anymore.
Source code is available as always.
I don’t usually repost the same extension, but it was...

ReCloudApp by Cornell Campbell →
ReCloudApp is a simple redesign of the my.cl.ly interface (for CloudApp available at getcloudapp.com). This extension is based on a design by Fares Farhan that was first posted to dribbble.com. All props to Fares for a great design.

Xdebug Toggler for Safari by Ben Selby →
Allows you to auto start Xdebug debugging from within Safari.
Useful for PHP developers. The extension page mentions developing in Eclipse, and it looks like this helps provide an alternative for the poor sods who are otherwise stuck doing that.

Snipe by Joseph Schmitt →
Snipe is a Safari and Chrome extension that allows you to quickly sift through the sea of open tabs you accumulate throughout the day. Simply invoke the keyboard shortcut and up pops a Quicksilver-like input field allowing you to search through your open tabs and select one, without ever leaving your keyboard.
This is extremely clever. The search is fuzzy, too, so you don’t have to get...

Basecamp Annoyance Remover by Richard Lyon →
Does the vulgar “Oops! You haven’t given 37 Signals quite enough money yet!!!” yellow sticky on your Basecamp dashboard annoy you as much as it annoys me? I’ve created a little Safari extension that removes their vulgarity and restores some semblance of order to your dashboard. It loads a little bit of CSS that makes their used car salesman nonsense invisible, so you can...

Many of us love Slashdot.org and its soothing green color. Tragically, a recent redesign has left the amount of green at crisis levels.

The Slashdot homepage and story pages are stylishly recolored to give you...

RIP by Andrew Hannah →
Removes Google’s Instant Preview.
Instant Preview is that annoying magnifying glass Google insists on inserting beside every search result.
When you click on it, or indeed anywhere near a result, an image pops up giving a fairly useless screenshot of the website.
RIP removes this. Simples.

Instapaper auto-archive by Thadd Selden →
If you’re a user of Instapaper, you might miss the auto-archive feature they used to have. It would automatically archive an article when you clicked on it to read it. At the time that they removed the feature, I created FIFO Links, which uses HTML5 storage to accomplish the same thing. The catch with FIFO Links is that it didn’t provide shared storage; it only worked in one...

Facebook Chat Sound Changer by Fabian Pimminger →
After Google Reader Styles, which even is mentioned on Apple’s Extension Gallery, I’ve finished my second Safari Extension today. It’s called Facebook Chat Sound Changer and changes the annoying new alert sound of the Facebook Chat to the old and familiar “pop” sound. Just download, install and activate the extension and you’re done! The old chat alert will be automatically replaced with the old...

What's Neue? by Connor Griffin →
I have come here to redeem myself with another text replacement extension (the easiest ones to make). The last one I made was called ChalkItUp, and we can both agree it was pretty horrible. I liked it at the time, but looking back, that font is so ugly.
Helvetica Neue is a great adaptation to the incredibly popular Helvetica typeface, so why not make it default on every site? Well, like my...

Tabletoy by Canisbos →
This Safari extension is designed to overcome two common problems with tables on web pages.
Problem #1: If a table is taller than the window it’s in, by the time you scroll down to the end of the table, the header row has scrolled out of view.
Problem #2: Most tables are not sortable.
With Tabletoy installed, you can make a table’s header row “float” above the table,...

SE's recent downtime
I would like to sincerely apologise for Safari Extensions’s recent downtime. As you probably know, Tumblr recently experienced (and continues to experience) some severe issues; since this is a Tumblr blog, Safari Extensions went right down with them.
Now that Tumblr is back on form—or at least, hopefully getting that way—we’ll be able to catch up on some delayed posts and post new...

Factotum by Canisbos →
Factotum is a “search assistant” for Safari. It opens a small window next to your active Safari window and loads a search page in it. So far, that’s nothing you couldn’t do by yourself. The unique feature of Factotum is that when you click an offsite link in the little search window, the link opens in your main window—not the search window.
To open Factotum’s...

Facebook Neue by Milind Alvares →
Makes Facebook useable. At least, that’s how I understand it. Milind’s pretty good at this kind of thing, so it’s probably worth checking out.

Rightsizer by Canisbos →
Rightsizer is for myopic fussy people—like me. It’s basically a better replacement for the “zoom text only” feature of Safari. Unlike Safari’s built-in feature, Rightsizer lets you zoom text in specific parts of a web page instead of all the text on a page. More precisely, it lets you zoom specific kinds of text on a page. And it can remember your font size settings for a...

readableWall by Jacob Isbell →
Facebook recently made the text of people’s friends’ updates quite tiny. It is incredibly hard for both the young and the old to read friends’ feed now without being frustrated. readableWall solves this by enlarging only the text Facebook shrunk. Rest of the page stays in perfect order with absolutely no distortion. No more clumsy resizing of pages either!
