It seems to me that every Mac user ends up with the Safari browser. It's unavoidable.

Yes, sometimes it's not as user-friendly as Chrome, it doesn't have as much user-friendliness as Firefox, and it doesn't boast a built-in VPN like Opera.

But the Apple browser has undeniable advantages - it is as smooth as possible in operation and is very careful about the battery charge of the MacBook. It was these reasons that became key for me in the transition from Chrome.

The first thing I did after the replacement, of course, was to collect the necessary extensions for Safari. And here I will share a list of those without which the browser does not seem complete to me.

PiPifier- Picture in Picture for everyone

A handy extension for Safari that allows you to conveniently use the Picture-in-Picture mode for absolutely all HTML5-based videos on the web - it doesn’t matter if the web page developer originally provided this feature or not.

With PiPifier, you can launch absolutely any video on YouTube or other video storage in the form of a small window on top of any other applications and watch the recordings at the same time as you work.

Many Internet resources already support the Picture in Picture mode, but even on YouTube without this extension, many videos do not want to switch to it.

By the way, PiPifier does not use its own, but the native Picture-in-Picture mode that is built into macOS. Therefore, it works as smoothly as possible.

translate- Website Translator

I think that no active Internet user can do without this extension for Safari on Mac. And it will especially appeal to those who at least occasionally read sites in English and other languages.

This is a banal translator that uses the Google engine and, according to my personal observations, is not inferior, and sometimes even surpasses the built-in Chrome one.

I didn't go into the details, but some sites either limit the ability to translate into other languages ​​programmatically, or Chrome simply cannot cope with the complexity of their "architecture".

This is not so important, because the Translate extension copes with this task more often.

NoMoreiTunes- no forced launch of iTunes

Unlike Chrome, Opera or Firefox, Safari loves to take you to the same iTunes when you follow links in the App Store.

I don't think it makes any sense. And this is especially annoying when you open several applications for viewing at once, and Tuna does not provide the ability to work with tabs.

NoMoreiTunes doesn't let that happen. Instead, the extension displays a small message at the top of the block notification page and prompts you to go to iTunes if you need to.

I think that the developers of the extension did what the guys from Apple should have originally included in their algorithms - a more civilized proposal to switch to content in branded applications.

Save to Pocket- save data to "Pocket"

Literally translated from English Pocket - "Pocket". And such a name suits this service perfectly, because it will allow you to throw in almost any information that may be useful in the future.

Working with the service is integrated into a wide variety of applications on many platforms - including it is available as an extension for the Safari browser.

When you add information to Pocket with a single button, it is transferred to the application of the same name and downloaded for offline viewing.

And in the future, you can read some article or news, read the instructions or use almost any other content without the Internet. It’s a pity that you won’t be able to save YouTube videos in this way with all your desire.

Download in the Safari Extensions Gallery(is free)

As it turned out, many of the extensions that we previously used with Safari are no longer relevant at the beginning of 2018 - they were immediately removed from my browser after a short test.

So far, I have left only five additions in order to maintain some kind of balance between speed and energy efficiency, as well as the usefulness of the browser.

Be sure to write your useful finds in the world of extensions for Safari on Mac in the comments. If at least 4-5 sensible ones come together, we will definitely make another thematic issue of the application digest.

macOS High Sierra is the latest and greatest system update. The transition from Sierra to High Sierra is pretty subtle, but there are a lot of small changes in the new version. High Sierra is focused on minor changes and stability improvements.

A lot of attention in High Sierra is paid to the Safari browser. Safari 11 is not only much faster, but also comes with a lot of new features, like cross-tracking protection, video autoplay blocking, and automatic Reader mode.

Perhaps you want to enjoy all of these features but aren't ready to upgrade to High Sierra just yet. We will help you with this.

How to downloadsafari11 onmacOS Sierra

New Safari features are available with a system update, but Safari can also be updated separately. If you have the latest version of macOS Sierra, you can also install the latest version of Safari.

Step 1: Open App Store and go to section Updates. There, download the latest version of macOS Sierra (10.12.6).

Step 2: Reload your Mac for the update to install.

Step 3: Now open again App Store, go to the tab Updates and find the available Safari update there.

Step 4: Click Install next to Safari 11. The program will download and install.

After that, open Safari as usual, and the browser will have all the new features.

Safari is part of the system software for Mac computers. By default, this browser is immediately installed on the device as a standard one. It was designed specifically for this platform, and therefore it works faster and better than similar applications, consuming less gadget energy, which allows you to do without recharging for a long time.

Apple periodically releases new installations to fix bugs and improve the performance of the Safari browser. These updates contain new and improved features for the user of Apple software, the purpose of which is to facilitate the work on the device, as well as to make it as convenient and comfortable as possible for everyone.

Safari browser

According to the system settings, the software should automatically load to the latest versions. However, in case the system does not perform this function on its own, you can do the update manually by checking the available innovations for your MacBook in the appropriate section and choosing which ones would be useful to you.

It should be noted that the most optimal would be to install all the available files that are currently present in the system, otherwise the same browser may lag behind other newer and improved ones.

For each operating system, the procedure for checking and installing the latest versions is almost identical. It differs only by searching for their list. The device with the downloaded browser must have Apple Software Update (on Windows it must be installed by the user), which can be used to download the latest version of Safari.

For Mac OS users

To install fresh applications on a Mac system, do the following:

1. Open the Mac App Store and check out the available improvements by opening the section you need.
2. On the page that opens, click on the corresponding icon next to the “Safari” item to start the process.
3. Before closing the program, check if you have this procedure enabled as automatic through the "System Settings" tab.

If you are using earlier versions of the OS, then the above process will consist of the following
stages:

1. Go to the menu (apple in the upper left corner of the screen) and click on "Software Update".
2. In the list that opens, find the components you need (if available, they will be listed).
3. You will be prompted to enter an administrator password before the installation process begins.
4. Once completed, reboot your device to complete the download and your MacBook is finally updated.

You can also download the latest version of the browser on your MacBook through the official website. To do this, you need to find the "Programs for Mac OS" section and in "Apple Downloads" view the list of already installed downloads or select those available for download in the same section.

For Windows users

Windows users also have the option to upgrade, but there hasn't been an update since 2012, so don't expect fresh installs.

However, to update you need to do the following:

1. Run the Apple Software Update program. You can find it through the "Search" (go to the "Start" menu and enter the appropriate name of the program in the search bar) or open it from the folder where it is, if you know the path to find it.
2. Once launched, available updates should be checked automatically.
3. In the list that opens, find Safari and check the box.

Click on the download icon for the selected number of items and follow the instructions.
