Color Snatcher: Simple Safari Extension To Grab Colors Off Webpages

This one’s a Safari extension designers and developers alike are going to like a lot: with just two clicks, Color Snatcher for Safari allows you to grab colors off any webpage and copy it to your clipboard from a dialogue box that will appear on screen.

The extension, due to Apple’s restrictions, can’t automatically copy a color’s HEX or RGB code to the clipboard – you’ll have to manually copy it from a secondary tiny window. The extension, however, delivers on what the developer promised: a simple tool to grab pixel colors. That’s it.

Color Snatcher is, of course, free and the developer is already working on a better way to copy color codes. Very nice. Go download it.

ADC: Safari Extension To Search On Apple Developer Website

If you’re an iOS or Mac developer, you must have noticed that searching for framework keywords, reference documentations and guides on Google isn’t exactly the best experience you can get. Wouldn’t it be great to have everything always under control a few keystrokes away?

This extension, ADC for Safari (and Firefox), puts an additional “developer bar” in your browser with shortcuts iOS and Mac OS reference libraries, a search bar and a link back to the ADC home.

It’s unobtrusive and will save you lot of time going back to the developer’s website and / or searching for stuff. Go download it.

HTLM5 Audio Safari Extension

Connor McKay’s YouTube5 Safari extension addresses most videos I encounter and Open in Google Chrome works for the rest but while video demands attention audio is ambient. It doesn’t makes sense to keep a second browser open just for background noise but I couldn’t find a similar extension for audio. So I made one.

Works great.

TabLinks 2.0: Safari Extension To Gather Links From Your Open Tabs

I’m not a Safari user anymore, but this extension from Brett Terpstra was just too cool to not mention it: with the click of a button, TabLinks can fill a pre-defined template with information about your open tabs. URL, title, window info – you name it. If you’re that type of user who always feels like he’s got too many tabs open at the same time and would like to save them for later, that’s exactly where TabLinks comes in handy. Read more

FullScreen for Safari Update Will Introduce Action Popup | Cydia Store

FullScreen for Safari is a great tweak available in Cydia at $1.49 which I previously reviewed here, that brings a lot more features to Apple’s default browser. Fullscreen navigation mode, gestures, customizable activation methods for almost anything you can do with Safari but Apple doesn’t let you act on.

FullScreen for Safari is undoubtedly the best way to make the best mobile browser out there even better. Read more

Gestures Coming To Mobile Safari with Cydia Tweak | Cydia Store

Mobile Safari is a great browser, and especially on the iPhone I haven’t managed to find an alternative in the App Store that can live up to Apple’s standards. It’s minimal, fast and does most of the stuff one could ever need - but the jailbreak community is always there to enhance stuff. If you open Cydia and search for “Safari” you’ll find tons of neat tweaks and mods to enhance the functionality of Apple’s mobile browser.

The next great tweak coming soon in Cydia is FullScreen for Safari, developed by the creator of Firewall IP. The tweak (which should be available in a couple of days) will add fullscreen capabilities and gestures to Safari, such as two-finger swipe to switch between tabs and two-finger swipe down to open a new tab. A preview is available on iSpazio (Italian), or you can check out the demo video below. Read more
