Apple is using AI to fix Safari’s extension problem
TL;DR
Apple is trying to solve one of Safari's biggest weaknesses with AI. Safari has long lacked the robust library of extensions that its rivals have, mainly due to the stringent development requirements from Apple. But now, Apple is inviting users to essentially vibe-code their own extensions. In a demo shared by Apple, the company showed how you can ask Safari to create an extension by describing it.
Nauti's Take
Apple is turning Safari's weakness into an AI use case: if the extension store is thin, let users build their own mini-tools. For AI builders, that is genuinely useful only if Apple does not bury debugging, permissions, and review behind magic.
