Safari extensions have been around for a very long time and their use has likely diminished with the surge of apps dominating the way we use our computers and mobile devices. This would be to ignore the huge advantages the best extensions offer though and if you consider that you likely use Safari more than any other app on your Mac you may as well make the most of what it has to offer. Extensions rarely get in the way and are only activated when needed, with the majority only offering a simple notification that they are ready in the Safari toolbar at the top. The trick is to only install the extensions that are genuinely useful to you and to not overcomplicate what is one of the most simply presented browsers available today. The benefits will become clear.
