One of the handiest types of software in anyone’s quiver is the browser extension: those cool little applets that let your browser do what you want it to do. And one of the nicest things about iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is that you can now add extensions to the Safari browser. Even though this is a new feature that launched with the latest iOS version, there are already a number of useful extensions available for you to add.

What follows is a rundown on how to add extensions to your Safari app — while we’ve illustrated the process using an iPhone, you can follow the same basic directions with an iPad. We’ve also included a sampling of some extensions you can try.

How to add extensions

• Tap on the Settings app.
• Scroll down to and select Safari > Extensions.
• Any extensions that you’ve already installed will be listed here. Tap on “More Extensions” if you’d like to see what’s available in the App Store. (You can also simply go to the App Store and search on “Safari Extensions.”)

• Once you’ve installed your first extension, you’ll see a little “puzzle piece” icon on the left side of Safari’s address bar. Tap that, and the menu that pops up will include your current extensions plus a “Manage Extensions” selection, which lets you toggle your extensions on and off.

Some extensions to try

This is a small sampling of some of the extensions that you can now access via the App Store. While there are not many extensions yet available (compared to the number of extensions for, say, Chrome), it’s a pretty safe bet that there will be lots more to come over the next few months.

Amplosion ($2.99)

AMP, which is short for “Accelerated Mobile Pages,” is a web format created by Google to optimize search results for mobile browsers. However, if you’d rather not have Google tweaking the webpages you upload, you can use Amplosion to redirect the AMP links that show up in search results into normal mobile links.

Noir ($2.99)

When you’re browsing at night and you’ve set your iPhone or iPad to dark mode, you will often hit a website that is bright enough to make your eyes water. Noir allows you to set a dark mode for all the websites you visit.

1Password (subscription needed)

1Password is a well-known and respected password manager . If you’re a 1Password user, there’s no question that you’re going to want to add this one to your mobile Safari app.

Super Agent for Safari (free)

This handy extension automatically fills out a website’s cookie consent forms based on your preferences, which can save you a lot of time and irritation.

Web Inspector (free)

Something for developers: an app that lets you inspect the HTML coding of a website, modify it, debug it, and perform other essential tasks.

How to install safari extensions on mac.

Want to add more functionality to Safari? Here's how to install Safari extensions on Mac.

Quick Links

Extensions are mini-apps that add extra functionality to your browser. In Chrome, you add an extension, and that's it. But Safari on Mac does things differently as extensions are shipped as apps. Here's how to install Safari extensions on Mac.

Mac users who are running Safari 12.0 and higher (running on macOS Mojave and above), have to use the App Store method for installing Safari extensions. Here, you first need to download the extension as an app, then enable the extension before you can start using it.

First, make sure you're running the latest version of macOS .

Then, open the "Safari" browser. Here, click the "Safari" button from the menu bar and choose the "Safari Extensions" option.

This will directly open the "Safari Extensions" section in the App Store app.

Alternatively, you can open the App Store, go to the "Categories" section from the sidebar, and choose the "Safari Extensions" option to get to this section.

Here, you'll see extensions grouped in multiple categories, along with a "Top Free" and "Top Paid" section.

Here, select the extension that you want to download.

Then, click the "Get" or "Install" button.

If asked, enter your Apple ID's username and password.

The extension, or rather, the app, will now be installed on your Mac. If you want, you can open the app. But chances are, it will just give you instructions on how to enable the extension.

As we mentioned at the top, you can't start using a Safari extension right after installing it. Instead, you need to go into "Safari Preferences" and enable an extension.

When you go back to Safari, you'll see a banner saying that new extensions are available. Here, click the "Turn On and Review" button.

This will directly take you to the "Extensions" tab in Safari Preferences.

Alternatively, go to Safari > Preferences from the menu bar and select the "Extensions" tab to see a list of all available extensions.

To enable an extension, click the checkmark icon next to the extension in the left sidebar.

From the pop-up message, choose the "Turn On" option.

You can come back here at any time and click the checkmark again to disable the extension.

Once the extension is enabled, it will show up in the Safari toolbar, right next to the URL bar.

Navigate to a page in Safari and click an extension to use it. Each extension has its own functionality, and you'll see all its features and options in the drop-down below.

You are free to move the extension icons anywhere you want in the Safari toolbar. Press and hold the "Command" key and drag and drop the extension icon to its new place. Take a look at our complete guide on customizing the Safari toolbar to learn more.

How to use Safari Extensions in 2022 — and five of our favorites

Safari Extensions are small utilities added on top of the Safari browser on your Apple device. Through these utilities, they dynamically change the browsing experience. Safari Extensions offer tools to change up your browsing experience just the way you want.

Here are five of our favorites.

Dark Reader

Compatible with: iPhone, iPad , and Mac

Price: $4.99

Many devices have adopted a Dark Mode for a more comfortable viewing experience at night. However, many websites still lagged behind, and continue to only offer light-colored backgrounds. Dark Reader is a powerful way to make these websites just as comfortable to look at at night.

Turn the extension on, and Dark Reader automatically turns every site into a white-on-black version.

It intelligently works around photos and links, and simple controls make it easy to turn off when need be if a site is better served in its regular appearance.

Yet, its more granular options give users a lot of control — from the exact color of the background to precise sliders to adjust brightness and contrast.

Among dark mode extensions available as extensions, Dark Reader stands out as the perfect balance of ease-of-use and detailed control. It works across all Apple devices that support Safari Extensions.

Compatible with: iPhone/iPad and Mac

Price: Free

The popular coupon-finding extension is available for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

When the user goes online shopping on their device, Honey automatically fills the coupon field with valid codes to save money at checkout.

Its lightweight package means it will not affect browsing when the user is not shopping, yet it's efficient when a code comes in handy. It'll automatically appear when a code is found when on iPhone.

Honey is famous for its comprehensive database of coupon codes and is the most extensive extension of its kind on the Internet.

OverPicture

Compatible with: Mac

Price: $2.99

While Picture-in-Picture is slowly rolling out for certain YouTube users on iPhone and iPad , it has yet to arrive on the Mac.

OverPicture implements a simple interface on top of YouTube in Safari to allow users to take YouTube videos in Picture-in-Picture. In addition, users can watch a smaller version of the video as it floats over their work by clicking an integrated toggle in the video player.

The Apple-like interface means that it is instantly familiar to those who have already sued the feature on iPhone and iPad.

It is the simplest way to get the functionality for the Mac, and it fits in with the design of the software.

Compatible with: iPhone, iPad, Mac

Price: Free to install, requires subscription for full functionality

The password utility 1Password helps users organize passwords and strengthen their security by generating hard-to-crack passwords.

The extension will automatically fill these passwords in for the user, freeing the user from memorizing tricky passwords themselves.

Featured in numerous "best password manager lists," the utility is simple to invoke when needed and does not interrupt when the user is browsing.

Compatible with: iPhone/iPad, Mac

Price: Free for basic functionality, paid tiers for more features

The recipient of many software design awards, Grammarly is an extension that aims to improve users' writing.

The extension automatically suggests better word choices, corrects spelling and gives fixes to sentences in a compact window to the side.

It also intelligently adapts to different writing scenarios. So whether it's a formal business email or a casual text chat between friends, Grammarly promises to optimize the writing for the user in a simple, easy-to-use extension.

However, before you can use Safari Extensions, you'll need to turn them on. The steps are a little different for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

How to turn on Safari Extensions on iPhone and iPad

• Launch Settings on your device.
• Tap Safari .
• Under General, tap Extensions .
• Select the extension you want enabled and turn it on.

Return to Safari on your iPhone or iPad, and tap the puzzle icon in your address bar. You can see the Safari Extension has been enabled.

How to turn on Safari Extensions on Mac

• In the Menu Bar, click Safari .
• Click Preferences .
• In Safari Preferences, click Extensions .
• You should see all available Safari Extensions in a vertical list to the left. Click the checkbox of your chosen extension to turn it on.

You should now see the icon of the Safari Extension you have enabled show up next to the other toggles and settings in the Address Bar.

If you would no longer like a Safari Extension to be enabled, here's how to disable it.

How to turn off Safari Extensions on iPhone and iPad

• Select the extension you want disabled and turn it off.

Return to Safari on your iPhone or iPad, and tap the puzzle icon in your address bar. You can see the Safari Extension has been disabled.

• You should see all available Safari Extensions in a vertical list to the left. Uncheck your chosen extension to turn it off.

You should no longer see the icon of the Safari Extension you have just enabled in the Address Bar.

How to Download and Install Safari Extensions

Installing Safari extensions is an easy process. You can find a selection within Safari itself.

Once you do that, it runs an automated process or opens a menu to let you set preferences or select actions.

For example, the Grammarly extension runs automatically while you write, but you can open the menu to turn it off or on for a website.

You'll also find that most social media sites have Safari extensions that make posting to your favorite social site as simple as clicking a button in the Safari toolbar . 

Where to Find More Safari Extensions

The App Store isn't the only place to download Safari extensions; it's just the easiest. You can also find them on other sites with a quick internet search.

How to Manage Extensions in Safari on Mac and More

Like Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari browser for Mac allows you to use extensions. I’m sure you’ve heard of browser extensions, even though you may have not used them before. In the case of Apple’s Safari browser for Mac, there are many extensions you can download and install that can greatly improve your web browsing experience. That’s because Safari extensions enhance the browser’s functionality. In this guide, I will show you how and where to manage extensions in Safari on Mac and more.

What is Safari Extension and How to Install It

As its name suggests, extensions are generally described as software modules that you can use to customize the browser you use. They extend the functionality of a web browser. A single extension installed on your browser can greatly improve the way you browse the internet and the tasks that you need to do.

For the Safari app for Mac, extensions allow you to do many things, such as display social media and news buttons, block content on websites, extend your access to apps, and more.

In case you’re wondering where to get Safari extensions, you can find and download them from the App Store. All the Safari extensions that you can find from the App Store are vetted by Apple just like any other app. So. you are sure that those extensions are safe and won’t harm your Mac in any way.

How to Install Extensions in Safari on Your Mac

Time needed:  1 minute

To install an extension for Safari on your Mac, just follow these steps.

Choose the one you would like to install.

How to See and Manage Safari Extensions

When you’ve installed Safari extensions, you may not notice some of them at once. Some stay hidden and work in the background. Others appear when you are about to do something in Safari that needs the installed extensions. For example, if you installed the Grammarly Safari extension, you will only see it working when you’re composing a text or message.

To see and manage the Safari extensions on your Mac, simply open the Safari app, then click Setting s > Extensions .

From here, you can do several things.

• Turn an extension on or off by deselecting the extension’s checkbox.
• Use the Safari extensions on your other Apple devices, as long as you’ve signed in with the same Apple ID on your other devices. In addition, you must have Safari turned on in iCloud, enabled two-factor authentication, and selected Share across devices .
• Change an extension’s settings.
• Remove an extension by selecting it, then clicking Uninstall . You may also delete the app that contains the extension.

Relatedly, iPhone or iPad users can check out our separate guide on how to manage Safari extensions on those devices.

How to Remove Unwanted Extensions

In case you’re asking yourself, “How do I remove unwanted extensions in Safari?” This only takes a few simple steps.

• In the Safari app on your Mac, Click Settings .

• If you don’t want to remove the app, you can just disable its extension.
• If you want to remove the app as well, simply click the Show in Finder button.

• Click Move to Trash .

How to Edit Safari Extensions

Another question that you might ask yourself is, “How do I edit Safari extensions?” For that matter, can you edit Safari extensions? The answer to the second question is yes. Unfortunately, however, editing Safari extensions requires you you to be knowledgeable about the Safari Extension builder.

You will also need to execute a Terminal command that extracts all the files contained in the extensions you’ve downloaded. Then, you have to edit it with the Safari Extension Builder. This is something I hope a general user won’t need to do, but if you like to tinker and customize the add-ons for your browser … more power to you.

Final Words: Remove Unused and Unsupported Safari Extensions

Safari will regularly inform you when there are extensions that slow down browsing or when they are no longer supported by Safari. Be sure to remove or delete these extensions.

There may also be instances when extensions can slow down browsing if they are installed but not enabled. So, be sure to enable Safari extensions after installing them.

Once you have activated an extension, its icon will appear at the top of the Safari window. Click to use it. Note that an extension may ask for your permission to access a particular site or all websites before you can use it.

Get more extensions

You have two handy ways to check out additional Safari extensions in the App Store.

Click Safari > Safari Extensions , and it will open the Mac App Store showing the extensions section.

The other is in the Safari > Settings > Extensions area described above. Click the button at the bottom for More Extensions .

Both options will take you right to the Safari Extensions section of the Mac App Store .

Disable or delete an extension

Extensions for Safari can be super handy tools, but only if you use them. If you have an extension that you no longer use or want to remove permissions from, you can easily disable it or uninstall it.

To stop using an extension, simply uncheck the box next to it in the sidebar. This is ideal for extensions you want to stop using temporarily but don’t necessarily want to delete from Safari.

To delete an extension, click Uninstall . Most Safari extensions downloaded from the App Store are parts of apps or apps themselves. So when you click Uninstall, you’ll see a message stating that you must remove the application.

The app and its Safari extension will be moved to the Trash, where you can delete it permanently. You’ll also notice that the extension no longer displays in your list.

Have you tried disabling the Downie extension to make sure that isn't the culprit? Looks like version 4.7.17 was released a few days ago...maybe there's a bug with it that affects links on here? Otherwise, do the links work in private mode? If so, try clearing your browsing history or website data for macrumors.com.

AZhappyjack said: Disabling the Downie extension didn't fix it, as expected. Clearing the browser cache didn't help, either. However, the two links that I tried in private browsing did open properly... Where is the setting for clearing website data for specific sites? Click to expand...

• Thursday at 8:19 PM

iStorm said: Interesting, maybe a full reboot is in order? If you cleared your browsing history, there might not be any website data to delete now. It's on the Privacy tab in Safari Settings. Click 'Manage Website Data' and search for MacRumors. Select the result/site and then click 'Remove'. This is how you can clear the cache, cookies, etc for one site rather than clearing out your entire history. Click to expand...

I’ve seen this before with MacRumors ad links. It’s a content blocker. Perhaps your ISP DNS service or your router is providing an ad blocking feature. In my case, it’s my router.

Klay Thompson’s market, Warriors coaching staff changes and other free agents to watch

The calendar flips to June this weekend. It’s the final month of Klay Thompson ’s current contract with the Golden State Warriors , and there remains a realistic chance these are the fading days of his 13-year run with the organization. As the decision on his future nears, there’s been no notable movement from either side toward a resolution, league sources said.

The Warriors maintain a desire to retain Thompson at the right price once other aspects of their roster retool get clarified. But they haven’t exactly been beating down his door to work out the framework for an extension (which can be signed at any time). In turn, the 34-year-old Thompson appears ready to test free-agency waters, exploring external options for the first time in his career.

The last time Thompson was a free agent, back in the summer of 2019, a quick max deal was agreed to without drama: five seasons, no team or player options, no thorny negotiations, no flirting with rival teams.

That isn’t the current landscape. Thompson spent the last month traveling and decompressing after an early, bitter end to a stressful season . But June is business time in the NBA . It’s time for Thompson and his representation to figure out what options are truly out there for him, what he wants and what it would take for Golden State to lure him back. Then it’ll be on the Warriors to offer it or not.

Thompson wants to win. Don’t expect him to chase the largest possible offer from the Detroit Pistons or Charlotte Hornets , even if that’s the correct financial or leverage move. But there are plenty of cap-space teams with a clearer upward path to contention than the Warriors. That includes the Oklahoma City Thunder , Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic .

Thompson isn’t the biggest free-agency fish. Paul George , who has a player option with the Clippers next season, is the most appealing veteran likely on the open market. His decision to return to LA or flee elsewhere will impact others. Thompson is one of the many dominoes behind him, sitting somewhere in the Malik Monk / Kentavious Caldwell-Pope / DeMar DeRozan / D’Angelo Russell / Buddy Hield mix, depending on a team’s priorities.

Some of these cap-space teams will whiff on their first, second and even third options (and probably know that by mid-June) and need to pivot. Thompson is still durable and accurate. He played 69 and 77 games the last two seasons and hit 569 3s at a 40 percent clip.

His age and injury history might scare a team away from throwing down a long-term commitment, but perhaps a shorter-term, bigger-money deal could appeal to both sides, similar to the Bruce Brown Jr. or Fred VanVleet structures from a summer ago. That would give teams like the Thunder, Sixers or Magic — which all could’ve used his floor spacing in the playoffs — help now without a restrictive financial situation later.

Other circumstances could theoretically materialize, like a sign-and-trade suitor or a non-taxpayer midlevel offer (which is projected to be in the $13 million range) at an appealing landing spot, but those winning cap-space teams profile as the biggest threats to pull Thompson away from the Warriors in the simplest manner.

It’s an unsettled time for the Warriors’ coaching staff. Lead assistant Kenny Atkinson is one of the favorites to land the head coaching job in Cleveland. If Atkinson gets it, Steve Kerr — whose duties as Team USA head coach will have him occupied in July — will have to fill a large vacancy next to him on the bench.

But, league sources indicate, the Warriors are contemplating a coaching staff addition regardless of whether the Cavaliers hire Atkinson, which would follow the Mike Brown and Jama Mahlalela departures in recent years and the tragic loss of Dejan Milojević this past January.

The Warriors had some conversation with former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham in recent weeks, per league sources. That isn’t expected to materialize. But it is a signal of the Warriors’ desire to add a big-name assistant, and indications are they are in search of either a former head coach or former player to fill the role. If Atkinson leaves, they may add two assistant coaches. It remains a fluid time across the league in the coaching world.

Conversations about significant personnel moves are only beginning to heat up across the league. The Warriors’ big offseason move last summer — the Jordan Poole -for- Chris Paul trade — came together in a pretty condensed period in mid-June and was finalized the morning of the draft.

So there isn’t anything imminent or even deep in the works, but transaction days are fast approaching. Indications remain that the Warriors’ front office intends to be aggressive and willing to shake up the core, feeling that this group was given a chance to stick together this past trade deadline and it didn’t even result in a playoff berth.

What will that materialize into? That’s hard to decipher without knowing what will be available to them and how exactly they plan to navigate the luxury tax. The Warriors have stated a desire to duck it entirely, if the opportunity presents, but indicate they will remain in it if there is a move they believe vaults them back into contention. What move or player would qualify? Could this just end up being a step-back season even if it won’t be messaged that way?

We discussed some of the Warriors’ options on our offseason preview podcast . Two quick situations of note: If Brandon Ingram hits the trade market, I would not expect the Warriors to show interest. If the Heat shop Jimmy Butler , I would expect the Warriors to enter the conversation to at least some degree.

Here are three June dates that matter.

• June 24: Kevon Looney ’s contract goes from $3 million guaranteed to all $8 million guaranteed unless he is released.
• June 27: This is the second round of the NBA Draft. The Warriors bought the 52nd pick from the Indiana Pacers during the Cory Joseph trade in February. They’ve spent the last couple of weeks working out a bunch of veteran college players who profile as potential second-round picks.
• June 28: All of Chris Paul’s $30 million contract is guaranteed on this date. If both sides agree, it can be pushed back. From all indications, Paul has been extremely professional and willing to work with the Warriors through all the possible options that may materialize with his flexible contract situation.
