20 Excellent Plugins for Safari

11. 1Password

1Password isn’t just a plugin, it’s a whole password management service that comes with browser integration.

The benefit of using 1Password is that you can automatically generally really strong passwords and the service will then remember and automatically fill them in for you. The service costs $39.95, but there is a free trial available. Plugin website

12. TabExposé

OS X comes with a great method for managing windows on your desktop called Exposé, which at the click of a button shows you an overview of all of your open windows.

The TabExposé plugin works the same way, but for opening tabs in Safari. Plugin website

13. GreaseKit

Power users of Firefox utilize a plugin called Greasemonkey to modify any website they browse using bits of JavaScript.

This really enhances your browsing experience as you can, for example, modify the font sizes and colors on your favorite sites to make them more readable.

GreaseKit aims to fulfill this need for Safari, as well as other WebKit applications on OS X. Plugin website

14. SafariStretch

One of the key differences between window management in OS X and Windows is the maximize button.

In Windows, the maximize button makes the window full screen, and in OS X, the window becomes only as large as its content.

SafariStretch allows you to have the Windows-like full screen maximize in Safari. Plugin website
