For any of you that used PimpMySafari.com, it looks like they've decided to close up shop with the release of Safari 5.

Goodnight!

Now that Safari 5 finally gives us proper extensions, this site has come to the end of it's life. Back in 2005 it served a need, but as always, side-projects can become dusty objects on the shelf, and the unfinished design has dated very quickly.

I really loved PMS (haha); I went there often for all sorts of great projects, especially in Safari's earlier days. Sad to see it go. Best of luck to Hicksdesign in all that they do!

For someone who has no clue, what are extensions and why are they useful?

Extensions extend the functionality of Safari 5. They're useful, because they extend the functionality of Safari 5.

Also: use Google/Bing/Yahoo!/Scroogle/ask/anything and you'll get a more in depth answer without bothering anyone on the forum. It's what search engines are for.

Extensions are a way for third party developers to add custom functionality to the Safari Browser.

Developers can make toolbar buttons that perform special functions (like show the number of unread GMail messages), more feature-rich toolbars, and automatically do other things to website content like block ads, change colors and fonts, etc. The possibilities are endless.

This is new in Safari 5.
