How to choose
Which devices does the extension need to support?
Check the supported-device details against the devices where you use Safari. Listings can cover iOS, macOS, or other platforms, so do not assume an extension works across your devices.
What should the extension help me do?
Start with the task you want to handle, such as blocking content or searching a site from the address bar. Keyword Search, for example, uses a keyword before a search to look up any site.
Is there a free plan or trial?
Check the free-plan and trial details before choosing. Some extensions have a free plan, while paid options can have an upfront price; Vinegar is listed from $1.99.
Will it sync between my devices?
Check whether sync is available if you want settings or information to carry between devices. Confirm the supported devices as well, since sync availability does not establish that an extension runs on a particular platform.
Where can I get the extension?
Check whether it has an App Store listing and review the maker's site for details. If open-source code matters to you, check the open-source mark.
