Safari 5.0.1 : A New Version Browser From Apple
After the iMac and Mac Pro hardware updates yesterday, Apple has turned its attentions to software today with a new version of their Safari browser. Safari 5.0.1 has activated Safari Extensions, basically HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript coded add-ons and plug-ins, which can be installed from the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Safari 5 made its debut in June, boasting a 30-percent speed boost over v.4 of the browser and twice the speed of Firefox 3.6. Users also get a new Reader mode, which basically strips out all the extraneous ads, images and content from a webpage, leaving only the text behind in an easy-to-consume format.
Extensions, meanwhile, each run in their own, sandboxed slot, with Apple using digital signatures to try to ensure some degree of safety. Already Amazon, MLB, Bing, Twitter, the and the NYTimes have created extensions (Google are conspicuously absent from the press release, replaced by their Microsoft rival). You can download Safari 5.0.1 here for both Windows and Mac. [via techcrunch]
