How do I uninstall plugins for Safari?

Hi all –

The question's in the title, I installed a couple of plugins but find them extremely irritating and need to get rid of them. A quick Google search said I needed to go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins but the folder is empty. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab.

Plugins can be installed there. You can turn Extensions off or select the Extension then click Unintsall.

If you don't have any Extensions installed, follow the instructions at this link where you see: *Manually uninstall third party add-ons.*

Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Do you remember the name of the plugin?

Carolyn 🙂
