What could be driving that, I wonder? Are they concerned with malware? Regardless, it seems like a big thing to omit from the notes.

Regardless, it seems like a big thing to omit from the notes.
- janfoeh 7y agoIf I were to guess, probably performance and battery life. They emphasized efficiency when they introduced their own compiled blacklist API for content blockers.
- mfer 7y ago> Removed support for Legacy Safari Extensions. It was in the notes. That's the line.
- olliej 7y agoAt a guess: Engineering overhead of two separate extension models, the "real extension" model can't do the kind of cross process communication a lot of extensions really need (password managers, etc). Then performance problems of extensions injecting and running a pile of JS into all pages. But yeah, I am not looking forward to losing ublock. I (Safari fanboy) will probably delay updating as long as possible.
