Despite the fact that Safari entered the competitive market rather late, support for extensions has grown significantly and continues to gain traction. People who prefer the Safari browser, no less than others like to bring the browser "to mind" with their own hands. Safari has a fairly close-knit and progressive community. And today we are pleased to bring you some of the best and most recent Safari extensions.

Many people dislike the fact that Safari forces new tabs to open at the end of the chain, no matter where the currently open tab is located. LinkThing fixes this and also offers a number of other options if needed.

As the name suggests, InvisibleHand will be a very discreet helper. The extension will check the pages for what you can buy. If something on the page is for sale, then the application instantly scans the Internet for the same lots and advises you on the best purchase option. If you often shop online, then rest assured that you will be using this tool more often than you think.

Many already know that MacRumors is one of Apple's premier news websites. Rumor has it that many people love the content of this website, but dislike its appearance. So here's the Safari extension from Cornell Campbell, bringing you MacRumors in a new guise.

Another extension from Cornell Campbell, which does much the same as the previous one, but here the Reddit website gets caught up. We think the popularity of this extension tells us how many people are looking for good add-ons to their Safari browser that would change their favorite websites and make them more user-friendly.

In theory, this extension may seem painfully simple, even somewhat silly. A button that simply reloads the css of the page. For ordinary people, yes, a little silly, but for developers and web designers, this is just a salvation. When developing a dynamic website, it is sometimes very annoying to constantly reload and enable special functions for which the code is currently being developed, but this magic button will solve all problems of this type.

Do you like the status bar that you see in the Chrome browser? Want your status bar in Safari to do a little more for you than the default one? Then Ultimate Status Bar is definitely for you!

Love to open thousands of tabs at once? Then you probably know how because of this the browser can crash or everything can start to freeze? With this extension, you can be sure that all your tabs will remain intact even after a sudden browser restart.

Surely each of us often uses the Gmail service. Often you open the drawer to check if there is anything new? Many people wanted to simplify this process so that it does not take so much time. This extension will add a new button to the toolbar, through which you can instantly go to your Gmail inbox. In addition, if you receive a new message, a corresponding icon appears next to the button.

A very popular destination for browser extensions, and AdBlock for Safari has done well too. This extension works with many ad networks and most websites that distribute ads. Although, if you love helping independent blogs and websites, then you can customize the restriction filters as you see fit.

The official extension for Safari from Pinboard: it consists of several different icons in the toolbar. You can sort the icons you need with your own hands.

The development team at Panic is a favorite of many. The development of Safari browser extensions has just started, and Coda Notes was one of the first extensions from Panic. And it did not disappoint me. These developers are extremely responsible and meticulous about each extension.

This extension is unlikely to disappoint you if you, like me, love the IMDb service, especially when you need to get information about a particular actor who starred in your favorite drama. The Less IMDb extension will make your search process much easier!

It was a very good idea to convert the powerful TinEye search engine into a browser extension. And the Safari version will give you the ability to use the tool quickly and easily. A simple right-click on any image on the web, and you will be able to save the image or the entire page as a whole.

This extension can no doubt be called a Swiss knife. The extension adds a widget panel to the browser, which displays the most important information, such as weather, date or clock. You will also have the option to flip through the latest entries in the RSS feed.

Given the power of the word, the Add to Google Reader extension significantly expands the list of features of the Safari browser. By default, Safari comes to users with a built-in RSS feed reader, as well as a button in the address bar that allows the user to quickly subscribe to the newsletter. Add to Google Reader "steals" this button, and instead of opening a standard reader, it opens Google Reader.

Outcome
This was the last expansion in our selection today. We could probably be missing some of your favorite extensions. Please do not yell and get angry, just share it with us and other readers through the comments. We love it when our readers are active.

Also do not forget that there are many different extensions for the Safari browser, among which you will definitely find something for yourself. Also download the latest version, install it - this will allow you to immediately use any extension!

With the increasing restriction of users to different platforms on the Internet, the demand for VPN services has grown accordingly. When choosing a quality VPN service provider, it is important to consider software compatibility across platforms. The presence of an incredible amount of unnecessary software on PCs and mobile devices has spread to browser extensions. Still, it's not easy to find a working VPN that has high server speeds at the same time.

Here we have made a list of working VPN extensions with high speeds for Google Chrome, FireFox and Safari browsers.

With a high-speed server from NordVPN, you get great service at a competitive price and compatibility with many platforms. The provider works especially well in Russia and is also recognized as the absolute favorite of many Runet users. Also includes the ability to connect up to multiple devices at the same time.

It is worth noting that VPN extensions do not have the same complex encryptions as VPN software, but you can still access any sites by changing IP addresses.

Also, VPN extensions lack the option to select protocols. Hence, the availability of servers is independent of encryption.

After registering your account with the extension, you can get a VPN connection by selecting one of the servers.

After testing the VPN extension from NordVPN, we were very surprised at the speed of the server from the proxy server. We managed to unblock all sites and for the sake of the test, we even opened a video from Youtube in 4K format. The video downloaded immediately without any delay. You can get a similar result in all video hosting sites from Russia.

Let's take a look at the tariff plan policy ...

Recently, the value of the dollar has jumped sharply, but the new tariff plans of NordVPN will pleasantly surprise their users. By clicking, you can use the plan for 3 years and get a monthly plan for only $ 2.7. If you look at it as an investment on a long-term basis, then for just the price of one coffee per month, you get access to all prohibited sites without any headaches. Plus, you can use the service in 6 devices at the same time.

+ The service works for Google Chrome and Firefox

High-speed 4K servers

Simultaneous connection of up to 6 devices

Doesn't work in Safari

One of the best VPN service providers that has disadvantages with a VPN browser extension. The ExpressVPN extension is different from other VPN extensions. In order to use an extension with a VPN, you first need to download and install the software on your device.

For example, if you are a Windows user, then you will need to install Windows ExpressVPN, then connect to the server, and only then you can activate the extension. With such a complicated setup, unfortunately the company doesn't deserve the top spot on the list.

As noted earlier, with the help of high-speed and stable VPN servers, you can access all prohibited sites, and even watch high-quality videos.

However, before choosing a VPN service, consider the above notes about installing the extension

+ Works in Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers

High speed and HD quality

Additional software installation is required to install the extension.

If you are looking for a free VPN with generous bandwidth, then you will definitely love Windscribe. The provider provides excellent service for PC, mobile device, and VPN extension with 10 GB of free bandwidth. This quota will be enough for you for a week, maybe even more, depending on your VPN service destination. However, for video and film lovers, this amount will be enough for you only for a few days.

The free version has 11 servers to use. For bypassing blocking sites for us, the best destination server is Germany. After connecting the server, you can watch 720p video. However, to watch movies in 4K format, you need to get a paid version of the service.

An additional benefit of the Windscribe VPN extension is the ad blocker. The extension blocks all ads regardless of the provider.

An ideal alternative for those looking for a free VPN extension.

Access to all blocked sites

10 GB / month bandwidth

Poor video quality

Summing up the results!

We have tried to inform about VPN extensions for your browser, be it Chrome, Firefox or Safari. To get rid of unnecessary software and get quick access to prohibited sites, you can take a look at the list of VPN extensions above.

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

Yes, sometimes it is not as user-friendly as Chrome, does not know how to adapt to the user as much as Firefox, and does not boast a built-in VPN like Opera.

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

The first thing after replacing, of course, I started collecting 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 videos on the web based on HTML5 - it does not matter whether the web page developer intended this feature initially or not.

With PiPifier, you can launch absolutely any video on YouTube or other video storage as a small window on top of any other application and watch the recordings while you work.

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

By the way, PiPifier uses not its own, but the native Picture-in-Picture mode, which is built into macOS. Therefore, it runs as smoothly as possible.

Download on the Mac App Store(is free)

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 one built into Chrome.

I did not delve into the intricacies, 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 handles this task more often.

(is free)

NoMoreiTunes- no forced launch of iTunes

Unlike Chrome, Opera, or Firefox, Safari is insanely fond of transferring you to that 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 the "tuna" does not provide the ability to work with tabs.

NoMoreiTunes prevents this from happening. Instead, the extension displays a small message at the top of the blocked notification page and prompts you to go to iTunes if needed.

I believe that the developers of the extension have done what the guys from Apple should have initially put into their algorithms - a more civilized proposal to switch to content in branded applications.

Download on the developer's website(is free)

Save to pocket- we save the data to the "Pocket"

Literally translated from English Pocket - "Pocket". And this name is perfect for this service, because it will allow you to upload there 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. The only pity is that YouTube videos cannot be saved this way.

Download in Safari Extension Gallery(is free)

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

So far, I have left only five add-ons to strike any 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 Safari extensions on Mac in the comments. If at least 4-5 smart ones come together, we will definitely make another thematic issue of the application digest.

Making money by watching ads through special browser extensions is one of the easiest ways to make money on the Internet, if only because you don't really need to do anything here. Just open your browser, install a special extension and watch periodically advertisements for which you will be paid money on a fully automatic basis. And in some cases you don't even need to look. It is enough to keep your browser open and visit your favorite sites, while a penny will fall into your wallet without your knowledge. Looking ahead, I note that the money is small, but it is absolutely passive income. How much, where and how to do this work, what pitfalls there are, we will consider below.

Earnings on extensions go well with other types of earnings on the Internet. For example, you can watch advertisements, simultaneously execute a and, write and, pass and get money for all this. Well cool, right?

What is a browser extension? What is the essence of making money?

Browser extension Is a special add-on program that allows you to expand the functionality of your browser. It's like an application in a phone that performs a particular task that was not originally included in the list of the main functions of the phone. In general, from the very word "expansion" it is already clear that an expansion of something should take place. In our case, the browser functions are expanded. The plugin, as browser extensions are also called, begins to show us ads at a certain frequency, and advertisers will pay for our viewing of these ads.

Advertising does not always hang there, but appears periodically throughout the day. This I mean so that you do not think that it will flicker constantly before your eyes and interfere with browsing sites. For the most part, it is not necessary to click on such advertising, it does not affect earnings in any way, but there are services where payment is provided for clicks.

Payment is provided in rubles, but there are extensions for earnings that pay remuneration in cryptocurrency. Do not be afraid of this, since it is easy to convert it into rubles using special exchange services.

Who pays money for it and why

Let's say a person has a website / product / list of services that he wants to advertise. Advertising through a browser extension is a great opportunity to attract a lot of visitors to your site for relatively little money.

For viewing ads and pay money. No additional action - just viewing. The transition to the advertiser's website is made at the request of the user, if he is interested in the offer (English Offer - commercial offer), and such an action is paid higher.

They usually advertise inexpensive goods and services of mass demand. Most often, in the description of such products, various marketing gimmicks, exaggerations and even misleading are used with one purpose, to hook you emotionally and make you make an impulsive purchase. Here's an example of such an advertisement:

People who have been using the Internet for a long time and have come across such ads more than once know that such offers are a scam for pure money. However, the internet is full of newbies who can buy into these promises. Agree, it is interesting to know what kind of beta testers are there who receive up to $ 3000? It's hard not to click, just for the sake of curiosity.

Then we get to the site, where we are offered to watch some secret video and register:

Below the video, you will find reviews of users (most often fictional) who have already earned their first dollars:

And everything on the page is done in such a way as to convince us that this is a real, monetary topic that can enrich anyone. In general, after registration, you will be offered some kind of system that is capable of generating money.

And, believe me, there will definitely be some sucker, pardon the expression, who will fall for it and buy this useless program. This is how those who place such advertisements earn. The sales of such cash programs, miracle drugs, super duper products for breast enlargement, penis and other parts of the body cover all advertising costs and bring good profits.

Based on the above, it is worth concluding that it is better for the especially impressionable and gullible not to try to make money on extensions. You run the risk of being charmed by some magical bullshit that will make you rich, successful, healthy and irresistible.

But if you are excellent at filtering information on the Internet, then I will tell you what you need to do to start making money on browser extensions.

What is required to earn money?

Nothing fancy - just access to the Internet and any browser. Anyone can make money on extensions - a schoolboy, student, grandmothers, grandfathers. We understand the steps.

1 You must have installed on your computer browser – Google chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Yandex Browser. There are many more browsers, but I recommend staying on these options, since the services for making money considered below are "friendly" with them, and in general they are convenient and popular. It would be possible to cheat by installing several browsers, but no - ads from the extension will not be shown if the browser is not active. More details below.

2 Needed register on the site to earn money on extensions... We will consider their features in detail below. The registration stage is standard - we come up with a login, a password, and indicate an e-mail. If you do not know what email is and how to register on sites using it, I strongly recommend that you read this article:.

3 The browser will need to install special extensions to earn money.

Most of the extensions are free, and you can find them in the official stores:

• Google Chrome: extension store;
• Yandex Browser: extensions are located in "Menu" - "Add-ons" - "Extensions catalog" (at the bottom of the page);
• Mozilla Firefox: extension store.

More detailed instructions on how to install and work with extensions await you further.

4 To withdraw money, you need an electronic wallet. Popular systems:

• Payeer (popular in this kind of earnings);

Everything! Oh yes, the most important: you have to spend time in the browser often, otherwise this income will not work for you. Ads are shown only to "active" users who surf the Internet (ie, navigate sites). If you left the browser and went for a walk, the advertisement will not be played.

Warning: If you decide to make money by watching ads for money, do not install extensions that block ads (AdBlock, AdGuard and others). Obviously, because of them, you will not be able to watch paid ads.

Detailed instructions for installing extensions

Let's take a look at how to install the earning extension in the browser step by step. Let's take Google Chrome and earning services Teaser and TeaserFast as an example. After registration, you need to find a button to install the extension. You don't need to look for it in TeaserFast - it is located in a prominent place:

But in Teaser you have to look. In this case, you need to look at the user's menu (not to be confused with the advertiser's menu) and find the installation link in the user's personal account. That is, there are two possible cases of the location of the button for installation - on the main site or in your personal account:

After clicking, they usually offer to select a browser:

Or the choice is available immediately, without going:

After choosing a browser and clicking on the icon or the "Install" button, we go to the extension page in the official browser store. This stage does not differ for TeaserFast, Teaser, or any other site:

By clicking on the "Install" button, a confirmation will come out:

Almost ready! The installation is done automatically, and we will be told two things about its success:

• "Install" will change to "Added to Chrome";
• Extension icons will appear next to the address bar.

By clicking on this icon, we will see a menu:

Below you can familiarize yourself with 10 sites that offer to install a branded extension and make money with it. There are not so many similar services on the RuNet. Before compiling the list, I checked their performance and solvency and selected the best ones.

As an experiment, I installed several extensions and for two weeks there were a lot of ads in my browser. I present the results obtained on earnings and the effectiveness of services at the end of the article. So let's get started!

Extensions for making money on a full machine

One of the most popular sites for making money on extensions and more. Outwardly, it is extremely pleasant - light colors, a simple menu, a bunch of statistics graphs and various functions.

A novice user will surely get lost here, but there is nothing difficult! And now I will explain everything on the shelves.

About earnings: You can get money here in four ways:

In SurfEarner you can adjust the speed, the higher it is, the stronger the load on the device. The initial rate is 0.08 rubles. for 1 million hashes (local cryptocurrency). I will not recommend this earnings, as you can quickly ruin your computer.

About additional chips... SurfEarner is a site that is capable of keeping a user for a long time. If you get certain "goodies" and achievements, you can double your earnings. These include:

Money contests are often held on SurfEarner, there are daily gifts (bonus to qualification or rating). If you decide to make money on browser extensions, I recommend starting from this site.

Another nicely designed site, which has nothing superfluous. A small menu at the top of the screen, a minimum of elements. Any novice user can figure it out without any problems (and if not, you can ask for help).

There are not so many teasers shown - in a week and a half there were only 48 teasers (4-5 teasers per day). On average, they pay from 0.015 rubles. for 1 viewing. Teaser example:

Additional income: completing assignments. The minimum cost is 0.1 rubles, but tasks for 1 or more rubles are often found. Registration, subscription, installation of extensions are simple and easy steps. If you have free time, take a look at this section.

Nice design, but the site itself is uninformative. To find all the information about him, it took a good dig in all the sections.

One gets the impression that the resource is underdeveloped and is more created for advertisers than performers. Yes, all sites are created for webmasters, but here it catches your eye.

• Graphic;
• Video;
• Text.

But to show them it is not enough to install the extension. This, of course, will be required, but you need to perform additional steps: go to the section "My ad slots" (1) and click on "Add ad slot" (2)

After creation, a window with the code will appear.

Attention: this code must be memorized or written down!

Now, in the installed extension, enter the code:

Earnings on extensions of mailers, boxes

Postmen, buks are sites where you can earn money for viewing ads, performing various tasks, likes and reposts in social networks, watching videos. Earnings are not automated - you need to click on the ad and watch it for a few seconds, after which the money will be credited to your account.

I talk about what axle boxes are and how to make money on them in another large article -. For the convenience of users, some of these sites have created browser extensions that simplify the work process. I want to tell you about some of them.

List of similar services

With the examples listed above, the number of axle boxes that allow you to install an extension for earning is not limited. Here is another list of services that allow you to install an extension or a special program on your computer and start making money:

Earnings on cryptocurrency extensions

Terminology:

• Cryptocurrency Is virtual money that has no physical embodiment. It is measured in “coin”, which means “coin”. Such money is earned not by ordinary labor, but with the help of the computing power of a computer. That is, you get money for using your processor (the process itself is called "mining", from the English. Mining).
• Satoshi Is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 Bitcoin (or at the rate at the end of November 1 Satoshi = 0.0028 rubles).

Few people were interested in cryptocurrency until the end of 2017 - the beginning of 2018. During this period, one of the cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, began to rise rapidly in price, and the maximum price for one “coin” was $ 20,000 in December 2017 (a year earlier it cost $ 400). Because of such an “explosion”, everyone who visited the Internet at least once a day learned about Bitcoin.

Interest in cryptocurrency as a way to make money has increased significantly. There are extensions that allow you to earn this virtual money.

A WARNING: When mining cryptocurrency, the video card and processor of the device work without stopping. In this regard, they can quickly deteriorate and burn! Therefore, if you do not want to ruin the device, do not mine, or use a power of 70-50% or lower.

ATTENTION Before you start earning, you need to register a bitcoin wallet, if you do not have one.

Briefly about registering a bitcoin wallet

Examples of such wallets:

• Xapo;
• Bither;
• Green Address;
• Blockchain.

We go through the registration procedure:

Warning: most of the wallets are not “friendly” with Russia, so you need to specify a different country. This also applies to mail. However, this is fine on Blockchain.

As a result, we get access to the following interface:

But attention should be paid to the letter that came to the soap. First, it contains a link to activate the wallet. And secondly - Bitcoin wallet identifier, which is useful to restore access to the wallet (roughly speaking, this is the account login on the site).

It remains to get the wallet number. To do this, we log into the account by entering the ID and password, confirm the login by mail. On the main page, click on the currency (for example, we need BitCoin), then click on “Get BTC” and get the wallet number:

This number will be useful to us in the following cases:

• To receive bitcoins on a cloud mining service;
• When mining cryptocurrency on your equipment;
• When buying "coin" in the exchanger.

Every MacBook user (and other Macs too) comes to Safari sooner or later. Yes, this browser is not as user-friendly in places as Chrome, and not as customizable as Mozilla, or maybe Opera is sweet to some ... but it is damn energy efficient and works very fast / smoothly. And integration with services can be a decisive factor. The case is small - a little upgrade Safari extensions.

In this article, I have collected 5 useful and tested by me personally in the daily use of Safari add-ons.

1. Minimal Status Bar(v.1.17)

An absolute must-have for every advanced web user. A tiny and invisible add-on that makes the Status Bar appear when you hover over an active element and hide as soon as it is no longer needed. Chrome users will rightly notice that the status bar in their browser behaves this way initially. That's right, but since Apple hasn't bothered to do it well (reserving a good piece of the screen under the Status Bar), we'll fix this mistake ourselves.

The extension has only one setting - you can allow short links to "expand". I recommend turning it on.

2. ClickToFlash(v.3.1.5)

Not at all less, if not more necessary addition. Prevents the browser from automatically playing Flash content (if Flash Player is installed at all) and also knows how to use HTML5 instead of Flash. The latter is especially true for variegated network audio and video players.

After installation, the add-on scares with a terrible settings menu, but you can close it before any problems with playing content. Perhaps it's worth looking into the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.

3. (v.2.3.1)

The add-on saves the nerves of Mac users. Especially for those of us who are unlucky enough to have a computer with a fast SSD and do without a gluttonous one. When active, NoMoreiTunes blocks iTunes from automatically opening when navigating to the Apple Store page in a browser. Instead of a redirect, a panel with an "Open in iTunes" button is shown. The only bad thing is that you cannot forcibly hide the panel.

4. (2.2.10.1)

An extension that pumps up the interface of the YouTube site with a very useful "Download" menu. Obviously, now you have the opportunity to download video - streaming files with sound and picture resolution up to 720p, or separately video (up to 2k) and audio (128kbps). But besides, FastestTube can block ads and disable autoplay.

5. AdBlock

Let me put it bluntly - AdBlock and its brethren are hated by the entire web industry. They block advertising, which, among other things, feeds resources.On the other hand, there are a lot of sites on the Web that are absolutely impossible to be on without such an extension - pages that are full of banners, throwing out pop-ups and other extremely intrusive advertising nasty pages will infuriate the most persistent and patient ... So it's still worth installing AdBlock. And then go to the extension settings and add those sites that you are ready to support with your attention to the list of exclusions. For example, UiP =)
