“‘The other big thing that’s missing (compared to both Chrome and Firefox) is a proper extension API,’ says the writer. ‘If only Apple had an imminent developer conference where they could unveil such a thing,'” MacNN reports. “While such a statement would normally be considered speculation, Gruber often phrases inside information in an insinuating manner.”
MacNN reports, “Apple’s WWDC 2010 event is scheduled to start June 7th.”

So does this mean that Safari will finally support the Flash extension?
(jk)
Please let this rumor be true.
I like Safari (mainly for mobileme bookmark sync etc) but I’ve always wished you could customize it like Firefox.
Whatever Gruber says, I believe.
This is 90% likely but won’t get a mention at WWDC. In usual fashion it will simply be on a software update.
They need to release a 64 bit iTunes version already. Sheesh, what’s the hold up?
What´s about a all new version of Safari 5 including features from latest Webkit nightly builds + basic support for WebKit2.
And the most important thing would be fullscreen support for HTML 5 videos in Safari for MacOS as well as in Safari for Windows 32/64.
Safari and iTunes should be integrated in one program.
“Whatever Gruber says, I believe.”
He didn’t say anything. It’s just a question. In fact, it sounds like he has absolutely nothing to go by, he was just stating that Safari is a friggin’ joke compared to Chrome.
Actually i just got word that they will be opening up the appletv to developers.
@Frobots,
That’s the worst idea I’ve heard in a very long time, and I just finished a review of the Dell Streak, so there you go.
Ok, then move iTunes to the cloud. I don’t want a separated program just to access a store.
Apple doesn’t do “a separated program just to access a store.”
“You got it MacGruber!”
Extensions are useless like titts on a bull.
If you want that crap, go use the FoxFire.
What’s your next grand prediction… skins for Safari?
Naw, Safari 5 will be a new kind of experience, only Apple approved sites, no flash, a new feature called JobsScript.
This may sound like a stupid question, but someone give me list of all those extensions that i am apparently missing.
Not intending sarcasm, just asking.
@kenh,
Exactly.

OK, I’ll bite. Firebug. Much more intuitive than Safari’s inspector for us web developer types. But I grant you, beyond that one, there’s no other plugin I want.
Ask a Firefox user.
Hey everyone, apple done it really well.

I hope so. My Safari has been playing up recently. It has become slow and unresponsive, even after I clear the history etc. I am thinking of moving to Google Chrome, when it is out of beta.
Scratch that. Google Chrome for Mac & Linux came out of beta, so I am texting it for a week, so see how it works.
RicMac,
No. It will be mentioned during the WWDC keynote.
The average consumer – the vast majority that Apple targets now in the iPhone space – does not know or care what this is.
It could happen but it’s very unlikely. An update to Safari, yes, that’d be good. Apple wants things simple and powerful.
@jaygee
Run Cocktail or Onyx every couple of weeks to clear out all the accumulated crud.
FireFox Extensions in Safari? Maybe.
It’s FireFox UGLY I can’t seem to overlook!
