Safari Extension highlight: Stop animated GIFs, make your own CSS
Earlier today I was looking for a Safari Extensions that could stop animated GIFs, and another to allow me to override CSS on a particular page. After a fruitless search of the official Safari Extensions page, Google turned up both Deanimator and User CSS.
Deanimator takes care of my first request. Namely, it stops animated GIFs dead. Meanwhile, User CSS lets me override a page's CSS. I can use it to change fonts or colors, hide ads and more. Both are quite useful.
The next time you're searching for an extension to complete a particular task, consider checking out the Safari Extensions Tumblr site. That's a great site that keeps growing.
As an aside: I've got 22 Safari extensions installed, and exactly half of them are designed to make the web less annoying.

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd chime in and say that I'm running a Safari Extension
community site called SafariExtendr that might be relevant to your
interests.
I'm trying to grow it and would love your help or feedback.
The site is at http://safariextendr.com
I've added the two extensions above to the site. If there's any big
ones I'm missing don't hesitate to tell me.
Cheers
I'm sorry but Safari is just unusable for me. It DOES work when I have issues loading a site in other browsers but before I make it my default they need to add some important features..
-Reopening closed tabs. When it crashes, when accidently closed out.. who knows? Firefox ALWAYS has the option to 'restore last session' on its own.
-Remembering the info I put in the fields. I seem to remember a while ago Safari would know every last thing I entered. I may have over looked something I'm sure but I do remember pressed a keystroke and the entire forum for things like application would autofill with my address and other info.
-Bookmark toolbar. You know that bar on top that Chrome has. It is really good to have those things because they save space.
And that is it for me. Mainly the not restoring tabs and windows when it crashes kills it.
What? Safari has all those things.
When Safari crashes under "HIstory" there is a button that says "Reopen Last Closed Window" (CMD + Z) and "Reopen all Windows from last session"
It does remember what you typed into fields. I use that all the time.
Safari does have a bookmarks toolbar View > Show bookmarks bar
I'm still looking for an ePub reader extension such as EPUBReader for FireFox.
You might have to wait a very long time for that, as the things you can do with Safari extensions are quite limited compared to what's possible in Firefox. Enabling Safari to read EPUB documents is probably not possible unless the content is somehow embedded in HTML (and I don't mean using a plugin).
