Safari Menu/Preferences...
Click on the extensions tab.
Choose the extension you want to uninstall.
Click the Uninstall button

Hope that helps.

Looks like you can also keep it installed but turn the extension off by unticking the box
(Enable 'Extension Name')

I installed what I thought was an extension and turns out to be a toolbar, I really don't want it now..
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Many thanks

HI Richard ,

I have a macbook and running safari 5.0.3 today when I tried to install extension like ad block and cookies remover when I switched to extension tab I saw its grey d out , I mean there is no switch to enable or disable extension. I was wondering if you have seen that before how can I make it work . I have to manually got to ~/lib/Safari and remove the extension from there

Thank you to all of you for the tip! I thought Safari would have their own "Extensions" menu item or something along those lines. It NEVER occurred to me to look in the Preferences. 😮

THANKS SO MUCH! I have been trying to find out how to do this for what seems like FOREVER. I hope this removes the annoying bell sound I've been getting on my Mac. Sounds like a boxing match start bell when it goes off
