Chrome has such a myriad variety of extensions that using Safari is simply not feasible.
1. uBlock Origin - the content-based blockers on Safari are not nearly as good
2. Zotero connector - for my academic work
3. Session Buddy - for saving sessions
4. Proxy switcher - for selectively using my uni proxy for academic resources
and so on...
- mrgordon 6y agoDo you really want to allow a myriad of extensions access to your web browser data? I can understand if you have a couple you like but personally I find extensions only make Chrome slower and I don’t trust most of them because of the deep access you need to grant. I’d just as rather turn my proxy on for a minute at the OS level and not have a permanent extension running in every single Chrome tab.
- xrisk 6y agoAll of the extensions I use are open source (not that that counts for a lot, but I still tend to take a look at the repository before I install them).
