Plugins can load annoying resources onto web pages like music players or invading ads. They also often don't integrate all too well with the web page they're on, or require ridiculous amounts of CPU power to perform a simple task. This extension gives you control over what reaches you and what shouldn't.
Plugins? You mean, like, Flash?
You probably have many more Internet plugins than you believe. Currently, your browser has counting... plugins, which enables you to see counting... other document types. Flash is just one of them.
The Settings Page
Whenever you ask Plugin Customs to remember something (like always allowing certain resources, or whitelisted sites), it places the information in its Settings page, so you can change your mind later about what you accept and what you don't.
This page can be accessed by clicking the Plugin Customs Settings Safari toolbar item, which is not shown by default because quite frankly, you don't need to change these settings very often.
You can add the Plugin Customs toolbar item to your Safari toolbar by following these steps:
- Make sure a Safari window is open.
- Under the View menu, click Customize Toolbar...
- A new window will show up, in which all the possible Safari toolbar items are located. Just drag the Plugin Customs Settings item to the location of your choice in your toolbar.
