I’m a big fan of StumbleUpon (my profile) and their toolbar doesn’t work with my favourite browser, Safari. StumbleUpon toolbar was the only thing I missed which was irked me when I switched to Safari.
Recently I came to know about Stumbi, the StumbleUpon ‘toolbar’ for Safari. Don’t except pretty icons. After installation, it adds to your Menu bar.
The Good:
We can give thumbs up, etc. with keyboard shortcut which I find efficient than the traditional way of enjoying StumbleUpon. Good as it’s lighter than the StumbleUpon Toolbar. (Safari starts in less than a second and Firefox takes 5 seconds.)
The Bad:
Issues are the lack of various small ‘features’ in the toolbar and the absence of the standard window that comes when you give thumbs up/down for the first time. The developer has promised more features (and a toolbar) in the next updates.
It just works regardless of the features which you might never use.
Note that you need to donate $2 before you can download it.

Does this work on Safari for Windows?
No, Mac only. The installation file is a .dmg file.
Oh thats bad news, I use all browsers, Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE and the limitation for Safari and Opera is the Stumble upon toolbar. May be Stumble upon should make one.
Of course StumbleUpon should make one. They concentrate on IE and FX only.
For Safari (or any other browser) you can use this trick:
