I want to open a list of tabs in Safari I have currently open in Chrome. In Chrome, there I use the Copy all URLs MD extension, which allows me to copy all open tabs URLs into the clipboard. The same extension also allows me to open a new tab for a list of URLs in the clipboard. I found **Tabs to Links**, which allows me to copy all open Safari tabs as URLs. But nothing to open tabs for a given list of URLs. Do I miss something? Has anybody a suggestion how to solve this? Thanks in advance. Edit: fixed some grammar mistakes and typos, changed the URL to the extension I use, after the other was discontinued.

I'm looking for extensions to allow the Safari 6.x versions to manage a large number of open tabs better than the current implementation. In particular I'm looking for two features: 1. *Vertical tabs*. This is possible in Firefox by means of the extension Tree Style Tab . 2. *App tabs*. In Firefox it is possible to pin tabs as _app tabs_. Up to know I've found and tried several times SafariStand but it doesn't look great and it doesn't provide the features of _Tree Style Tab_. I would really like to move from Firefox to Safari, but for the problem of "I have too many useful extensions in Firefox." :) Has anyone discovered extensions that add these features to Safari for OS X?

## TL;DR I'm looking for a way to enable "search shortcuts" in macOS Safari. For example I want to be able to type wi my search term to search for "my search term" on Wikipedia, or yt my search term to search for "my search term" on YouTube. This is something that's built into Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but not in Safari. ## More info I'm trying to give macOS Safari a honest try as my default browser. This with Safari 15.2, on macOS Monterey 12.1. The major pain point for me is quick access to different search engines (or sites) in the address bar. I know I can choose the default from a short list (DuckDuckGo, Google, etc), and that I can also access extra search engines using "Enable Quick Website Search" in the preferences: That's not great though, because if I want to search on Wikipedia, for example, I have to type the whole Wikipedia hostname before my search term, e.g. en.wikipedia.org my search term. Only then Safari will recognize it, and then I also have to press ↓ in order to actually select a Wikipedia search: That's a lot of keys to press, and slow. Much slower, in fact, than what I'm used to with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, where I can configure the quick-search function to use keywords instead of the entire website hostname. For example, I can use wi for Wikipedia and yt for YouTube. It's just built into my muscle memory, I suppose. I've looked for Safari extensions that would accomplish this, but couldn't find any. Any suggestion?

I've just upgraded to Mac OS X Big Sur (Version 11.01) from Catalina. Normally in the browser or finder you can select the 'Share' to send information to another application. For example, if browsing a site and want to save the information I would typically select the 'Share to' icon, select Notes and then my information would be saved. After upgrading to Big Sur I've hit the following issues: 1. Share menu in Safari is empty 2. Selecting the 'More' option pops up the Extensions preference which is all blank Now if I try the path of going to the Safari option to add an extension the new functionality in BigSur pops open the App Store. I can select an option and after installing it then says to return to the Extensions 'management' screen but nothing is able to be selected or activated. Net result - stuck ! Does anyone have any suggestions

### The Problem On opening a new link when there are no Safari windows, but Safari is already active, Safari will hang (complete with beach ball) for ~10–30 seconds. ### Reproduction Steps 1. Have Safari **open** but with no windows 2. Click a link in any app, open a bookmark with Alfred, or enter a URL with Alfred or Spotlight. 3. If Safari opens **both** the link and a blank tab, Safari beach balls for between 10–30 seconds. ### Specs - Safari v17.1 (19616.2.9.11.7) - macOS v14.1.1 (23B81) - MacBook Pro 14" (2021, M1 Pro, 32GB RAM) ### Things I Have Tried - Disabling all extensions. - Occurs with or without a network connection. - Doesn't reproduce on a test user account. - Clearing website data: **Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data > Remove All**. - Setting Safari as the default browser (previously BetterTouchTool was) from **Settings > General > Set Safari as Default Browser**. - Quitting BetterTouchTool just to be safe. - Restarting my Mac. ### Things I have noticed - Whenever the hang happens, I have noticed that Safari will open a second, blank tab. So, although I have only clicked one link, two tabs open. - In Activity Monitor, the Safari process says it is using ~100% CPU when the beach ball happens. All the other Safari processes (extensions, networking SafariLaunchAgent, etc) seem normal. - Frustratingly, it doesn't happen every time! It will be fine for 3-4 fresh links and then the problem will reoccur. It doesn't matter what URL I go to. It doesn't happen at the same point. Sometimes happens before the page loads, and sometimes after the page loads. But always within about 60 seconds of the new window opening. - Clicking on Safari in the dock to open a new window, and entering the URL into the address bar, doesn't cause the fault. I am a bit stumped about what to try next. Every time I think I've narrowed the culprit down, I manage to reproduce the problem. Suggestions for things to try or ways to narrow down the fault gratefully received!

As a customer, I contact businesses through contact forms on their websites, and often I forget the exact wording of the message and when I sent it. (Often, I need to re-send messages when I don't receive a reply and an email address isn't listed on the site.) How can I make Safari remember the contents of the ` and fields of the ` element? Preferably timestamped. Is there a Safari (or Chrome) extension that does this? This question applies mostly to Mac OS X, but also relevant for iOS devices.

If you install a Safari Extension, are you able to see its source code? It is great to verify that the extension does not contain malware. One can do it with Chrome as described in [this blog ](https://www.howtogeek.com/198964/HOW-TO-VIEW-THE-SOURCE-CODE-OF-A-CHROME-EXTENSION/)

In the version history of my content blocker it says it can show the trackers that were blocked. I thought the content blocker apps in iOS don't have access to the URLs that were blocked? From https://www.guidingtech.com/what-are-safari-content-blockers/ : "Unlike ad blockers, Safari doesn’t access the rules within a content blocker in real-time. That prevents content blockers from profiling users by activity." "They do not have access to your browsing activity since Safari loads all the rules in advance, hence preventing them from gaining access to sensitive information in any shape or form." Has the content blocking architecture in iOS changed, now allowing content blocker apps to access the stuff that was blocked?

I would like to add a [bookmarklet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet) to my Safari window on macOS. I want the bookmarklet to be available as a button in the [top-level](https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/blues.html) Safari toolbar, in the same toolbar as the Back/Forward buttons, address bar, Safari extension buttons, etc. View > Customize Toolbar... does not seem to show any bookmark-related toolbar buttons for this toolbar I'm aware that I can View > Show Favorites Bar to display a full "Favorites" bookmark toolbar underneath the address bar. I can display and click a bookmarklet from this toolbar, and uncheck Show Title to [display only the favicon](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/143916/safari-display-favicons-in-favorites-bar) . But I don't want to always see all of my other bookmarks in this bar, or waste the vertical space. I just want a single button next to the Address bar that opens a single bookmark / invokes a bookmarklet. How can I do this in Safari for macOS? If it cannot be done stock, are there any Safari Extensions that enable the functionality?

Is there a Safari-native way to use a kind of "shortcut" in the search bar to go directly to a website? For instance, to go directly to the [Python Pandas GitHub issues page](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues) , I would like define a shortcut that allows me to just type ghpd (or similar) in the search bar, press return and be directed there. I know that the [xSearch for Safari](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/xsearch-for-safari/id1579902068?l=en-GB) extension offers this ability, if the `Enable Empty Searches" option is configured... but I would prefer not to use a third-party extension for this. Note this functionality is slightly different from the "search shortcuts" that Safari natively supports - and is offered by these extensions: - [QueryDial](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/querydial/id6478811925?l=en-GB) - [xSearch](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/xsearch-for-safari/id1579902068?l=en-GB) - [Keyword Search](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/keyword-search/id1558453954?l=en-GB)

Is there an extension I can download on an iPad to auto-refresh with notifications a Google Chrome page?

Is it possible to display favicons in Safari's Favorites Bar? For example, my Favorites Bar in Firefox looks like this: I've tried using glims, but can't get it to do this.

This question applies to the mobile versions of Safari, either as proper content (for example, supporting a news story) or inline video ads. Mobile means iPadOS and iOS on the iPhone and iPad. The macOS version of this question doesn’t provide mobile solutions. Is there a way to disable auto play of video using a setting, configuration profile or third party app/content blocker?

Until Safari 4, the loading status filled the address bar completely, which was clearly a clever design feature. Even if the actual one mimics this feature, it would be make even more sense to bring it back because of the unified tab bar introduced in Safari 15. Is there any extension that would allow this to be achieved in Safari?

On windows there are browser plugins to block elements of a website in real time (right clicking on element for example.) What browser(s) or plugin(s) are available for iPhone to accomplish this task? For example -- going to Twitter / X and it asks you to login, I can just select and block this element but I am unable to do it on mobile safari or any other browser I can think of for iOS.

I had downloaded some extensions like Competitive Programming Calendars on my Chrome. So I prefer to use the Safari and I wanted to know if I could import the exact same extension to Safari? And if there is any link to that calendar extension to the Apple Calendar?

I'm looking for an extensions (or built in feature?) of Safari that does the same as Multi-Containers for Firefox. I need different users/containers to separate private browsing from different works contexts. I found this older post https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/200236/multiple-user-accounts-in-safari-like-in-chrome and tried Google but not much came out of it. Maybe someone knows a hidden gem

On my son's iPad I have screentime enabled with downtime scheduled and two categories to control: 1. All apps (except three in one category) time limit 45 min 2. A test category with the microsoft.com website allowed 23 hours a day However when I navigate to microsoft.com on safari it is blocked "**you have reached your time limit on microsoft.com**". I've tried adding www.microsoft.com and just microsoft.com (though I expect both to work and enable access?) Why is this not working as expected? Are there any viable alternatives to control website access, vs the mess that is Apple Screentime? I'd like to do this in a browser level, simply whitelist a series of sites.

I was watching a movie last night in a Safari window, and suddenly 2 YouTube videos started playing in the background. It was a gigantic pain to find them and turn them off (since I typically have a lot of tabs open). I know it's possible to disable audio from any given tab _once I've found that tab_. But that's equally as much of a pain. Since I don't have the power to punish the guilty parties at YouTube who have no business making their site do things like that in the first place, and manually disabling tabs doesn't really solve the problem, the only acceptable solution seems to be to find a way to automatically silence all tabs that are in the background. This sounds like a job for a Safari extension. Is it possible for a Safari extension to automatically turn off sound for any background tab? (And turn it on again when the tab is moved to the foreground.)

Is there a Safari extension for rendering LaTeX in webpages? That is, take expressions like $...$ and replace them in the page with the rendered LaTeX. I couldn’t find anything on Google.
