It's part of the roadmap, likely releasing in Q2

Is that your browser of choice?

Would love to try this (have a less sophisticated pre-LLM approach running locally), and also use Safari as my main browser. Instant paying customer for Safari, right here.

Also find myself having a pretty severe allergic reaction to websites (Gem is a recent example) roadblocking anything but Chrome (seemingly both because of their web app literally not functioning properly in Safari, and their browser extension being Chrome-only):

a) essentially forcing me to use Chrome for one task, whilst deal with password management in two places, etc., and

b) giving me the nagging worry that the design of the app or extension might contravene some non-technical standard imposed by Apple which Google does not honor…

Completely understand and we definitely want to support more browsers including Safari.

The process for exporting chromium based extensions to safari is not super straightforward (HN Community please prove me wrong!), though glad to hear it's a priority

Safari is my current everyday browser, but anything that isn't based on almost anything modern that isn't tainted by the chrome should be fine.

Just like IE 6 I refuse to touch it if I can at all prevent it.

(Feel free to join in folks. We can do this, IE was much better entrenched at its worst.)

Understood. We should have specified that Zenfetch works on chromium based browsers which include Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Opera, etc.

Hear you on the safari request and we will definitely expedite that release

its the default browser on my phone especially when i open links from other apps, if that is not captured, then its not much use for me
Good to know. Sounds like you primarily want a way to save articles from your phone then?

If mobile saving is what you're interested in, we can likely get that shipped even faster :)
