Safari Plugins?
What's the deal with Safari plugins?
From what I heard, Apple considers the user InputManagers directory to be a security risk. This is the mechanism by which plugins were installed for Safari.
I just visited the PithHelmet page, and found out that Pith Helmet doesn't yet work in Leopard.
IMO, this represents Safari's #1 weakness as a browser. Despite their lack of elegance in OS X, Firefox and Opera represent much better and feature-rich browsers. For Firefox, a big reason for this is the rich variety of plugins.
Without Pith Helmet or any other adblocker, Safari is simply not usable.

I had the same problem with FLVR, but Tasty Apps acted quickly, offering a workaround application called Videobox free of charge to previous FLVR subscribers. Videobox is still in beta, but so far it works like a charm.

I also ditched the pdf browser plug in (schubert?) and now use what is in Leopard Safari. Reads pdfs fantastic and quick. Also gives you the option while the pdf is open to view in Preview.
