Apple has released Safari 5.0.1, which activates extensions. They have some nice stuff lined up in their extension gallery, from Twitter, Bing, Major League Baseball, Amazon and eBay. It’s nice to see Safari catching up with Firefox.
Apple isn’t exactly a company known for its modesty. But with the introduction of Safari Reader, Apple’s made a doozy: Every ad on the web is a distraction from content. Big talk from a newly minted ad company.
It didn’t warrant a keynote mention, apparently, but Safari 5 is here. The big new feature, besides speed – it’s a whole 3 per cent faster than Chrome – is Safari Reader, which reformats web articles into a single view, sorta like Instapaper.
