What to Do With Too Many Safari Extension Buttons

The problem with so many amazing extensions is that many want to put buttons on your toolbar. We end up with a salad of buttons on the toolbar, pushing the address and search fields way off to the right. For me, this is annoyingly out of reach.

Customize it

Did you know that you can customize the layout of the button bar?

Just right click in an empty space between buttons.

And you get a window that allows you to drag buttons around to your hearts content.

I like to put the mass of buttons that I use less frequently over to the right of the search form as you can see here...

And when there are too many there, they get pushed to a drop menu, like this....

Choose the order of your buttons

Buttons get dropped in the button bar in the order they were placed there, but you may want them in a certain order. Customizing the toolbar allows you to put your buttons in any order.
