I am a big fan of Safari and have been using it for a long time now (after ditching Firefox, Apple recently released a new Safari 5 version which now has extensions. I have not used any as of yet but I am looking into some of them. If you are looking for some cool  extensions to install, check out these recommendations:

Safari 5 supports extensions now…here are some I’ve downloaded so far:

SafariRestore automatically restores your previous browsing session. That Safari still doesn’t do this by default is beyond ridiculous.

YouTube5 converts YouTube videos to their HTML5 video tag equivalents. It says it only works on youtube.com right now, but it works great on the kottke.org as well. (See underwater base jump, e.g.)

NoMoreiTunes stops Safari from opening iTunes when you visit an iTunes Store link. Again, Safari’s default behavior is not optimal here.

I got all these from the Safari Extensions Tumblr, which is a bit overwhelming. I wish they’d curate a bit more instead of letting everything through. To that end, are you using any good extensions people should know about? Do tell.
