Safari extension highlight: Awesome Screenshot
With the addition of the Safari Extensions Gallery to Apple's website, TUAW will be highlighting extensions that we think are special, useful, or just plain fun.
Today's featured extension is Awesome Screenshot which lets you capture, annotate and share screenshots to awesomescreenshot.com. The way it works is pretty neat. Once you're at a webpage you'd like to share, simply click the extension's button. A toolbar appears that lets you annotate the page in a variety of ways. You can draw freely or use boxes, circle or lines. There's even a tool to blur out information that you'd rather keep hidden.
Once you're done, you can save the image as a local file or get a url to share with coworkers or friends. It's a useful tool that could make far-flung collaboration a little easier, all handled directly within the browser.

I like this extension a lot but it somehow completely disabled functionality of Netvibes to a point where I couldn't log-in or change the language. With the extension de-activated Netvibes works again like a charm!

Snapper is another cool Safari screenshot extension:

It unfortunately also cant do whole pages, but its lighter than Awesome Screenshot.

"Send to LittleSnapper" does the job. You'll need littleSnapper though!

I have no interest in anything the two-faced evil doers at Google come up with!
Looks pretty useful. option to blur out sensitive info is nice touch.
But if option to capture entire webpage is missing, I think I rather use Skitch.
Try Papparazzi for Mac:

I much prefer Coda Notes: http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/07/coda-notes-for-safari-now-available/

Did I miss something?
the Chrome version does the full page.
the Safari is only the visible portion...
When BetterPrivacy migrates over from FireFox along with NoScript, then we'll have a extensions to really use for surfing. Oh, AdBlocker is already in the Gallery. So, one out of three is a step in the right directions.
