Comparing safari vs chrome/firefox in the extension world is a lost war. According to some data from 2022, its 120k/80k vs 3k in safari.
I am actively developing extensions, and I think a lot of devs will benefit from knowing which are ideas that could benefit the users more.
Given this, what is the extension that you miss on safari?
I know we deal with lots of GPX files, that normally you would fire an app or sync to the mobile from the desktop just to explore or remember what was the trail.
If you are on mac, I have built a tool that I think would be useful to quickly view what's inside a file without opening anything, it works natively with the quicklook (spacebar) and the quick view plugins to show you the route, and a tile of the map, and some meta data.
It also supports other gis formats, like geojson, kml, kmz, and a limited shp file support.
It's available on mac store (GIS Quick Viewer), intersted in feedback and suggestions for improvements.

I created this safari extension to be as an alternative to stylebot for chrome.
It allows you to customize any website and remove/change any element you don't want to see, saves the state, and allows you to enable/disable per website, and a global toggle as well. It also adds a readability mode where it tries to remove the clutter as much as possible.
Next: I am planning to add icloud sync, and preset styles for dark/light modes, no images, etc...

Created this simple extension to solve the eternal problem of uploading images just to find out it's too large.
This extension scans the page, adds a button next to each upload field, and allows you to compress and select the compressed image directly for the upload.
100% in the browser, no calls, and extremely fast.
I recently built a stylebot alternative for the safari browser, that enables users to instantly style and change any website to match their style.
Per-site toggles, persistent styles, and a clean readbility mode.

I liked stylebot, and found out that there is close one done for safari, so based on that I built this small extension for safari that has similar functionality to stylebot, and still building and continuing it, appreciate suggestions for improvements.

Basically, it allows styling using css or element pickers for any webpage, adds readability mode, and exports/imports the css.
It also has a universal toggle, per site toggle, and per element reset.
Created this safari extension to customize any website using mouse selector, doesn't require any CSS knowledge.
It also offers readability mode, where it hides everything except the main content.

Hello, inspired by stylebot for chrome, I created a free small safari extension for personalizing the looks of any website you browse, doesn't require knowledge of CSS, and allows exporting/importing of styles.
If offers an element picker for customization, and a readability mode as well.
I am still actively adding features, so appreciate any suggestions and bug reports if any.

Is it normal to have at least 2 weeks before an extension comes to be in review for a safari extension? I submit mac apps, and IOS app, and the max I got was 5-6 days before being reviewed, but for extensions, I submitted 2, and both have waited over 2 weeks before any action.
I recently built this plugin for quick view for mac, that enables users to peek into parquet files to check sample data and copy schema config without having to open any software specially to handle that.
It runs directly from finder by hitting the spacebar, and allow you to peek into other types as well, like sqlite, and Jupyter notebooks.
It's available on app store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-data-insights/id6764301485?mt=12
Supports the latest macs with Apple silicon, and being actively improved!
Let me know if there is a specific feature you think I should implement in this viewer!

Recently created this small QL viewer for GIS files.
It supports multiple formats, including gpx, kml, kmz, ...
It excels when you have a lot of files and you want to go through them to identify one of them, for example exports from strava, or bike trail routes.
100% local, uses openstreetmap for showing static tiles when available. And very fast loading of metadata.

For mac users who are dealing with a lot of GPX files exported from strava, biking routes, etc... I built a small quicklook viewer to allow you to peek into any GPX file to check it plotted on a map without actually opening it, allowing you to use the arrows to explore all files in a directory without firing any software to recognize it, 100% local, using anonymous openstreetmap tiles for viewing, and supports also some other formats: GeoJSON, KML, KMZ, GPKG, and a very limited support for SHP files.

Hello! Sharing here a recent quicklook plugin bundle I created for previewing config and code files, to help with the common pain of having to fire up vscode just to find out that the file is not what I am looking for!
It handles over 20 file types, and offers basic syntax highlighting, I am looking for feedback and suggestions!
Adding below some codes to install for free!
I created this safari extension to solve the problem of constantly going to submit a form and upload an image to some service, only to find out it exceeds the max size, it automatically appears beside every upload element that expects images only. And once clicked, it gives you all the options you need and shows you the savings, format, etc.. Then once selected adds the generated image directly into the upload element instead of using the bigger image.
All processing is local, gets you up to 90% savings, allows you to resize, and saves in 3 different formats.
