Well, if you install SIMBL first and then drag and drop files to the right spot. Apple shouldn't require you finding a 3rd part add-on to do plugins. FF has the nice single click installer model and a good plugin manager with auto updates etc. Sure I can manually hack around on Safari and put a plugin in there, but I'm not sure if I would call that supporting plugins. Or are you saying there is some native plugin support for Safari? If there is, can you link to an example?
