Macte! Safari Toolbar for Mac OS: Increase Browser Functionality without Hacks!

21 May 2009, Prague - Macte! Labs Inc, a major developer of extensions for MacOS, has released the Macte! Safari Toolbar. This easy-to-use extension greatly increases functionality of the Safari web browser. It features multi-engine search (eg Google, Yahoo) and rapid access to many web-services. Other useful features will include email check, currency rates, stock prices, and web page translation. Macte! Labs also plan to provide an order service for custom branded toolbars for Safari.

With growing popularity, Safari is currently the world's third most popular browser. However, although highly regarded for its stability, speed and simplicity, Safari lacks add-ons when compared with other popular browsers. For instance, Firefox users can take advantage of hundreds of available extensions. But for Safari there is no official extensions architecture, and it is generally believed that any Safari extension is a hack of Mac OS and the Safari browser. In order to overcome this problem, Macte! Labs has created what is believed to be the first extensions application that is as powerful as those used with IE or Firefox.

Macte! Safari Toolbar is based on Safari Plug-in Kit, a unique platform designed by Macte! Labs, using only officially documented Mac OS and Safari protocols instead of hacks. Safari Toolbar v. 1.1.3 offers a number of useful features that will be significantly enhanced in subsequent versions. Safari Toolbar currently features Google search (web search, image search, news search, blog search, 'I'm feeling lucky'), Yahoo! Search, and Live search. It also provides quick access to the following web services:
- Google News
- Google Notepad
- Google Mail
- Google Calendar
- Google Docs
- Google Language Tools

In the near future a wide range of dynamic components will be added, like email check, weather forecast, currency rate, stock prices, web page translation and pop-up window block.

In addition to the regular Safari Toolbar, Macte! Labs has launched a service to create branded toolbars for companies and other organisations. An exclusive full-featured toolbar will add to the functionality of any intranet by:
- Integrating all company resources into one convenient application
- Reducing the number of operations performed by employees
- Gathering statistical information of any working process to increase efficiency

It will also increase the appeal of a site by providing users with:
- News, information and special offers
- A search function for the internet
- Blocking of pop-up windows
- Easy access to valuable information
