Image blocker extension for Safari

Sometimes I have slow connnections and/or bandwidth limits and would like to block images from loading on all sites. I'd also like an image placeholder that can be clicked to load selected images—like a Flashblocker works.
Does anyone know of a Safari extension that does this? Im using OS 10.6.8 and Safari Version 5.1.10.
Thanks,
Bill

Other than Safari's Preferences > Security setting "block pop-up windows" a completely reliable popup blocker or ad blocker does not exist. Adblock Plus is popular, but it will cause some websites to break or to render improperly. Whatever you choose be aware of those unintended effects. Disabling them is easy enough.
Edit to add: ClickToPlugin (a superset of ClickToFlash) is one I like, but it's not intended to be all-encompassing popup blocker: https://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/

Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.

Apple has dropped support for Safari on Windows

There used to be a extension for Safari called "close all tabs". It is no longer on the extension list. Does anybody know why it was removed?

Mr. Davis answer is essentially what that extension did. I thank Mr. Davis for this answer as I was not aware of this method. I only brought this up becasue in Lion there is a nasty habit of Safari opening all previous tabs that where not closed when shuting down the computer. This can cause a long delay in opening Safari becasue of all the tabs opening up. The "close all tabs" exstension stopped all this opening process. I have to assume that Apple replaced the extension with the process that Mr. Davis describes, however, the extension was a lot faster. By the way, I have this extension still and I still use it. I just wanted to pass it on to some other users, but guess I will have to give up on that idea.

Realization of a extension for Safari

Hi all, in the realization of a extension for Safari, how can I access with end scripts to SafariExtensionSettings?!

Can someone please make an extension for Safari that replicates Tab Mix Plus

I don't use Safari, not because Safari is a terrible browser, not because it doesn't do a good job. I don't use Safari because it refuses to integrate a basic and imperative idea into its structure: Tab Browsing should be intuitive. To that end, I am imploring someone, ANYONE who knows how to create Safari Extensions, please create an extension for Safari that essentially replicates Firefox's Tab Mix Plus.
Most people (I read about 95%) use tabbed browsing on a regular basis, its that important. I'm shocked that Apple hasn't done this already. They would steal all of Firefox's thunder with that simple extension. For me, its 90% of the reason I use Firefox and ignore Safari. With the beauty and simplicity of OS X Lion, I'm stunned that Apple hasn't asked some bored software guy to spend all of 5 minutes to make this thing already. I wish I knew how, I wish I knew how to make extensions and plug ins and apps and all that other stuff, but I don't. All I can do is ask someone out there to please get off the couch and make this thing already. I know that this will more then likely fall on deaf ears and be forgotten by Apple and that's sad.
I hope this sparks some interest in making this happen. I can only hope.

Well of course the person purchasing the "mix" will pay for the individual songs but what I'm
Suggesting is that apple or iTunes comes up with a creative way of sending the "mix" and have a one click download process like when you purchase apps. Picture an e-card from Apple or Itunes that will ask you to preview the album before downloading. Also, you'd have to know the person in order to send this downloadable mix from iTunes. Name, email, etc. The idea originated because I want to make someone a mixed CD but who really purchased CD's anymore? It would b so much easier if I or anyone had the ability to create a mix iTunes card or gift or e-card to send to someone else.

Is there a replacement for Lazarus (form recovery extension for Safari)?

I used to use Lazarus to save form content (e.g., when a poorly designed site's page validation flushes all the content after finding something to nitpick). After upgrading to Mavericks a few weeks ago, I noticed that Lazarus was no longer working. The developers site (http://getlazarus.com ) is still active (though the "contact us" form fails to accept any submissions), but there doesn't appear to have been an update to the extension for over a year.
Is there any other extension/trick for saving Safari form content (and repopulating it when returning to a form/field)?

I, too, was sad to see Lazarus break. It appears the developers abandoned it, and certainly aren't paying attention to Safari usage.
I've found this to be a passable alternative: http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/42879
This can be installed via any Safari extension that can inject userscripts into webpages, like the old "NinjaKit" or the new "Javascript Blocker."

Image resize plugin for Safari

I was wondering if anyone knew of a plugin for Safari that would resize images so that they fit in the browser window?? I have done some searching on Google but cannot find anything. I am wondering if perhaps it hasnt been developed yet? I think that it would be a great idea as I know many people who would use it.
Anyway, hoping someone can help me out here. Love Apple and all their products!
www.jacomputing.net

Jesse, what is the purpose for the resized image: for example, is this
for images you want to display on your web site, or is it for images when you are cruising the web?
If you want to enlarge images on your web site, but keep them to scale, you can set either the width or the height attribute (not both!) to a percentage; which, actually, represents the percentage width or height of the document body.
You can either set this in your style sheet, or in the image tag (the traditional way). Let's say in the style sheet, you set your body width to 50% of the available space and centered it; and you set the image to 80% width; the image would actually be about 40% of the available width (.80 x 50%).
The problem with setting this across the board for every image that you come across is that if the image is small in the first place, like a button, it will likely be blown out (pixelated), if made to be 80% width, for example. So you would probably still want to individually control each image.
Is that what you had in mind, or something else?

Uninstalling Safari on Lion, or a LeechBlock-like extension for Safari?

Hi all,
Hoping for some site-blocker advice
I use Firefox exclusively on my Mac in order for the LeechBlock add-on to be effective (having other browsers that circumvent the block kinda defeats the purpose of having a site blocker). In the past, I just deleted Safari from my Mac and everything was dandy. Now that I've recently upgraded to Lion, it refuses to let me delete Safari, and I've been told Safari doesn't have a LeechBlock equivalent.
Is there a way to get rid of Safari, or better yet, a LeechBlock-like Safari extension that I can install?
Thanks so much for any help!
-DD

Apparently there is one solution. You can install the extension "WastNoTime". It is as good as Leechblock.
For that you have to go to Safari preferences and turn on extensions. You can then download and install the extension from this link: http://bumblebeesystems.dyndns.org/wastenotime/ or you can browse https://extensions.apple.com/ and find it under productivity category.
I am happy that this extension is finally out. I was almost moving to Firefox.
Good luck

Cannot install extensions for Safari. Help!

No matter what I try to do I cannot get Safari to install extensions. I have tried some of the answers others have been given for a similar problem but non of them seem to work. If anyone can tell me a way I can uninstall Safari and reinstall it again or repair it I would be incredibly grateful for your help.

Try deleting the Safari .plist
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try adding an extension.
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.8 Mountain Lion is to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery
