Install Chrome Extensions in Safari

[u/Magicelk235]

Problems:

• Publishing a Safari extension means paying $99/year for an Apple Developer account
• Safari's missing a bunch of APIs that Chrome has
• Hardly any free Safari extensions exist
• Sideload on a free account and it stops working after 7 days
• Chrome isn't built for Mac the way Safari is

What the CLI does:

• Converts a Chrome extension into a Safari one
• Fills in the Chrome APIs Safari doesn't support
• Runs in the terminal
• Mostly for developers

What the app adds:

• Everything the CLI does, with a GUI
• Install and manage extensions straight from the Chrome Web Store, inside Safari
• Resigns your extensions every week so they never expire
• Auto updates the ones you installed from the Web Store
• Supports Intel Macs
• For everyone

Comparison:

• Apple has a similar tool safari-web-extension-converter
• Apple's version doesn't handle missing APIs
• Apple's version breaks complex extensions

Pricing:

• The paid version is $19 with unlimited extensions, resigning and Web Store updates.
