I don't understand the down votes since it's factual that you can't sign your plugins and distribute them inside Safari (AND ALSO keep them automatically updated) unless you pay Apple their anual fee. But well, fanboys will be fanboys.

I don't know why your original comment was downvoted, but dismissing people who disagree with you as "fanboys" is rather insulting.

Actually, I loaded the link on my iPhone and it is responsively designed at least for Safari on mobile.

Safari is a great browser for MacOS, what it lacks right now, is not more features, is opening the extension system. Let's face it, it is ridiculous to have to pay 100$ a year to be able to improve Apple's product in exchange for nothing. Making plugins for a browser doesn't have in any way the same opportunities to make money from it as making apps for iOS or for MacOS. Still Apple, in all their usual stubbornness r…

Biggest deal here (for me) is the HTML 5 download attribute.

Without that you cannot name or provide an extension for files that are triggered for download.
