Tynt Blocker extension comes to Safari, too

Filed under: UtilitiesWe recently told you about a Chrome extension that blocks Tynt, which is a service that some sites use to add a URL or other text to anything you copy from them. Safari users who dislike Tynt can now block it with an extension of their own. Of course, this will only work in Safari 5, so make sure you've updated to the latest version.

We got an insightful comment on that post from a Tynt VP who pointed out the benefits of the service; it often makes proper attribution easier when you copy a passage from the Web, and people apparently leave Tynt's appended links in place quite frequently. I don't know if I'm convinced. I'd rather see users choose whether they want to copy that extra link or not. Right now, the only way to do so is by using a Tynt blocker (or blocking JavaScript altogether).
