    And if I want to keep all the extensions and bookmarks and settings how do I preserve that if I download a new Safari in another user in the computer?

    There is an extension folder that you can copy. I don't have any extensions installed, so my safari extension folder is empty.

    With firefox and chrome, you can create an online account just for the purpose of syncing your addons in case you reinstall or install with a different account or computer and want your addons kept in sync.

    Firefox in particular has a very established addon system.

    Extensions are the shiz. My only excuse for not using Safari (as it is a tremendous browser within the Mac ecosystem... garbage on Windows systems) is the lack of extensions compared to Chrome/Firefox.
