Lucidica - Safari Extension

One of the new features of the just released Safari 5 is Extensions.

kirindave ported Jon Hicks’ HelvetiReader to Safari 5, but I’ve always preferred Ismael Sobek’s Lucidica variant of HelvetiReader. So I quickly whipped up Lucidica Safari 5 Extension.

Safari Extensions is keeping track of all of the Extensions currently available. It’s an exciting time everyone!

Update I’ve also turned Steven Frank’s shutup stylesheet that hides comments on many popular web sites without user intervention into an extension: shutup Safari 5 Extension.

Update 2 The Extension only works on .co.uk and .com versions of Google Reader. Localised sites like the French reader.google.fr refuse to work. I’m working on it- Google has an awful lot of TLDs and Apple’s Extension Builder doesn’t allow wildcards like:

*reader.google.*

Such is life.
