Safari uses Web Extensions now.
You can import a Chrome/Firefox extension’s source code into xcode and you have a Safari extension.
Doesn’t work for everything yet, I expect they’ll add more APIs this year at WWDC.
FWIW, I’ve been using the Orion beta on my Mac and it’s great. It’s a WebKit based browser with a built in ad blocker and tree style tabs and can run most Firefox and chrome extensions while having lower resource usage and better battery life than safari.
A nearly perfect browser for me with only a few downsides.
- Not available on windows or Linux yet
- No open tabs sync across apple devices (yet, planned)
- Doesn’t support all extensions (yet, also planned)
