Getting started with developing Safari 5 extensions
Safari 5 includes a new secure browser extension system that is similar in many respects to Chrome’s extensions and Firefox’s Jetpack plugin. Extensions are created completely in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and Apple takes great pains to differentiate extensions from plug-ins. Safari plug-ins—written in native code—are solely for supporting new media types within the browser (Flash, Quicktime, et cetera) whereas extensions are for adding new functionality to the browser itself.
