If you own an Apple device, you’re probably familiar with Safari. While not as popular as Google Chrome, the fact that it’s built into every MacBook, iPhone, and iPad means it’s still used on many devices.
While Safari has a fair amount of features, including incognito mode and sharing, you can extend its functionality with the many extensions available in the App Store.
Just choose the one you want and download it. At any time, you can manage your extensions by going to Safari Preferences Extensions.
There are so many extensions available that one can easily feel overwhelmed. On the App Store, they are categorized to make things easier, and you can also find those that relate to software you already use, like Pinterest and Facebook.
Here’s a short list of popular extensions from different categories to help you get started.
