Apple updates Safari, switches on Extensions site, patches Address Book bug

Apple today introduced Safari 5.0.1, the latest version of its browser which introduces the Safari Extensions Gallery. (Oh look, Google, Bling is among the highlighted extensions, there’s a big surprise!) The release also patches last week’s nasty Address Book bug.

(Which likely puts paid to the short career of Safariextensions.org).

Apple introduced extensions support in Safari 5 in June so developers could begin creating extensions with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript web standards.

Safari Extensions Gallery lets users find the extensions they want, from toolbars that display live web feeds to sophisticated programmes that filter web content.
