They're saying that Apple and Google aren't getting along so well, but that's a bunch of poppycock. Safari and Google pair so well together that it's a wonder where all this hearsay came from.
Sometimes, the Google Notifier gets in your way when you're trying to be as productive as possible. With the Gmail Counter add on for Safari, your browser will notify you of emails only when you're in "internet browsing" mode. And with the on and off switch available right there in the links toolbar, you can spontaneously decide whether or not you're in an email mood.
Google does all sorts of wonderful things with their homepage, including hiring prime artists to make the most aesthetically pleasing logos to commemorate holidays, important days in history and silly events like National Talk Like a Pirate Day. If you've ever regrettably missed any of these wonderful displays of art, GLogoChanger randomly displays them on the Google front page. Each time you refresh, you never know which Google logo you're going to get!
Add user scripts to Google Reader with this extension. Change the way you see your list, the unread counter, and the collapse and expand buttons. And after you'd given your Reader a facelift, tack on the Add to Google Reader (install link) button, along with a Share to Google Reader (install link) button to make the Safari RSS experience come full circle.
Pardon us for being afraid of change, but we're not as enthused about Google's new image search as some are elsewhere in internet land. This extension doesn't eliminate the annoying pop up factor when you eventually select an image, but it does simplify the side bar to bring you back to the the glory days of just weeks ago, when Google Image Search was so much more simple.
Google has become so bloated. Whatever happened to having a totally pure internet experience? Fortunately, there's an extension for that. Google Search Cleanup makes Google as simple as it should be, and paired with the GLogo Changer, you're in for a truly pleasing search experience.

Sweet list! Im now using a couple of these. Since the major Safari update ive been using it as my main browser. Ive been a Firefox user for the last decade :0 Im loving safari, its quick, uses less resources and now with all the extensions and add ons its the perfect browser. And even compared to Chrome, there is no delay when pages open and its faster with flash as well.
BTW, I just recently subbed to your magazine along with the digital sub. I read it on my ipad, mac and everywhere in between. Love the work you all do, keep it up!

Help! My new puppy decided that the cables to and from my new airport extreme made a pretty handy chew toy. No harm done to the puppy but the cables are toast. Where can I get some replacements?
