Safari Extensions add new features to Apple's default web browser, Safari.

In Safari, the menu command Safari > Safari Extensions takes you to https://extensions.apple.com/

Scroll or use Command-F to find things on the page. You can install directly from that page and do not even have to restart Safari. Some are Shareware i.e. invite you to make a donation.

  • AdBlock (shareware) does as the title suggests, pretty much set it and forget it. The list of ads it blocks is maintained.
  • Click2Flash is a very useful tool to keep Flash off unless you need it. (It also tries to encourage web sites to load H.264 videos instead.)
  • Translate places a "translate" button on the toolbar, which uses Google Translate to translate the current page.
  • XMarks: Chris Howard recommends this paid product and uses it on all his browsers (and 1Password likewise).
