Save display space or appeal to your own sense of minimalism by hiding Safari’s native status bar, and using the Invisible Status Bar instead. Only shows up when you hover over a link, i.e. when you need a status bar.

Kinda lame that my fav Safari 5 extension so far is one that is built by default into Google Chrome, eh?

But, I do love how Safari operates on the Mac and integrates so well into the wider Mac experience, unlike Chrome which works wonderfully with Google Web apps but not all that great with the rest of the Mac ecosystem.

So, I’ll think of this as the Apple community (once again) taking something that has been tested and proven elsewhere and integrating it into the Apple-way.
