Farewell to Safari plugins, haxies, or whatever you want to call them

Posted in Apple by Derek at 4:20 pm on UneasySilence

Sad news for Safari browser users. According to an article by Ars Technica, Apple is disabling the use of InputManager plugins.

One more tip we got regarding Leopard, is that InputManager plugins are no longer allowed. That’s right… no more little hacks from anybody besides Apple. No more Apple menu hacks. No more Safari plugins.

Follow the post and comments on hicksdesign. Personally, I find this news unfortunate and discomforting. I will no longer enjoy the blazing speed of Safari + the multitude of "enhancements" provided by various developers. Farewell Saft, Inquisitor, and scores of other useful bits of add-ons for the Safari browser.

I’m going to save some time and start moving all my browsing habits back to Firefox. It will save me the hassle of moving bookmarks and settings later down the road when Leopard comes through. What’s this latest rumor that Leopard may not show until October! The reason being something about providing support for Vista?! Boo to that. Release and patch support later!
