Safari gives fashion extensions with version 5.0.1
The browser Apple yields to turn to fashion with the extensions updated to version 5. Safari 5.0.1 Will it enable him to pick up the competition?
Safari occupies the 4th position among internet browsers in Europe, far behind Internet Explorer and Firefox, heels Chrome little (readers have also a clear preference for Firefox). Commonality of the first three: they all offer customization via extensions dedicated to a specific use. Each user can call (more or less easily) to map its software, according to his favorite web services: social networks, filter blocking ads, instant messaging service, etc.. For much of the challenge is there: the uses were deported in mass online communication, photo, video, music, office tools and even parental control. Browsers have become real good at everything, often replacing the need to install software, understand, and which, placed end to end slows down the machine.
Certified Extensions
Safari was the last irreducible not have adopted this option. It is now done with version 5.0.1 unveiled yesterday. We are still far from the plethora of extensions that you can find for Firefox, but the trick is taken: the extensions are presented in a dedicated gallery. For now, you can add modules for just about everything: research, social networks, shopping, news, translation, shopping, entertainment. For all but the Google search while Bing has dedicated its extension … Other modules include the Google search along with Wikipedia or Bing, but if there is an extension for Gmail, Google search for anything. However we note in the press release from Apple than Microsoft, the New York Times and Amazon are very pleased to work with Apple.
The extensions are based on HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and all have a digital certificate of authenticity. Here we find the spirit of the App Store: Developers submit their creation to Apple via this service and must then wait for approval.
A security filled the passage
This release also fixes a security flaw which we spoke a few days ago and allowed to fetch information in the address book. After the updates to Google Chrome and Firefox, we had to react. Latest version of Safari can be downloaded from the Apple website.
