Sorry, I should have been specific: a comment on the Medium post that is TFA:
This isn’t correct. Without paying the $100, you can’t get a certificate, and
without a certificate, you can’t sign an extension to build a safariextz.
- shakna 10y agoSo the situation is even worse than I thought? I mean, it is technically possible to install untrusted extensions, using xcode's self signing, but it isn't exactly straight forward and/or easy.

- bangonkeyboard 10y agoXcode is used for Safari App Extensions. Safari Extensions like RES are created in Safari's Extension Builder, which apparently balks without a signing certificate.
