This is awesome! On an unrelated note, anyone have good resources for converting chrome extensions to Safari?

I found this and will try it later if no one has a better suggestion:

I thought Safari and Firefox were supposed to start supporting Chrome's webextensions.

I've had some luck with Firefox although there are differences. I haven't tried Safari.

I don't see a way to install an extension that isn't in the Safari store, other than that link I found on reddit. But I could definitely be missing something.
I meant they support the standard. If you have the source code. I didn't mean that Safari can install them directly from Chrome's store.
You will need to build it using xcode and install it like ordinary app (On MacOS at least)
This may sound bad but might actually work. You should give ChatGPT 4 a try. It's a small extension so all source and response might fit in 1 context length.
