Are Safari extensions starting to increase dramatically in number now? If so is it because of Safari 5?

Safari 5 actually introduced support for extensions. They were not possible before. What was possible before were plug-ins, but they were and are unsupported by Apple, and required coding in Objective-C instead of HTML and JavaScript, which more people know.

Safari 5 includes support for Chrome/Jetpack style HTML + JS Extensions, whereas before Safari didn't include extension support directly.

Some tools, like 1Password did load "extensions" in Safari, but they did with hacks like SIMBL, which Apple discouraged use of.
