So this is is a MAJOR flaw with WebExtension design. Each uses a separate URI scheme. So Chrome uses chrome-extension: Firefox uses firefox-extension: ... etc. which means web extensions for Firefox won't work with Google Firebase because they only support chrome-extension. Why the heck isn't it web-extension: ???
As an extension developer, I am keen to put my extension on Safari however what is preventing me at this moment is dealing with Dun & Bradstreet to get a DUNS number. A DUNS number is required to sign up to the Apple Developer Program as a corporation. So far I have been pushed to 3 different departments by D&B who keep just hand-balling me to the next department without solving my issue, and this is taking on the or…
I use Safari on the laptop because it's most efficient but it doesn't block all ads like ublock origin does. Particularly for YouTube so I need to use Firefox with ublock for viewing videos. I tend to not trust extensions otherwise and would really prefer Safari to have built in total ad blocking - zero tolerance for any ads at all.
Try Wipr.

The most popular web extensions are those that deprive sites of direct and indirect revenue, which necessarily means they can’t charge for the service or their userbase would revolt and steal their rule sets (which is easy to do for a web extension). Having to pay money for such things goes against the grain of those users, and the sort of breakage that people think is acceptable for content blockers isn’t quite as a…
Extension examples: Reddit Enhancement Suite, Firebug, uBlock Origin, YouTube Ultrawide fixer.

We are working on a new native macOS browser based on Webkit with native web extension API support built in. We have uBlock origin and many others extensions working already. By doing this we get best of both worlds - performance and energy use of Webkit and extensions from chrome/firefox. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/7V8sfyX We are open for beta testers. Please email me if interested with short background and area of…
May I ask what your business model is or would be, since you require people to email you with specific information to beta test your product?
The extra info is only because I want to devote full personal attention to our beta testers, so some context helps.
In addition to the money argument raised in another comment, the Apple development experience is a major annoyance when all you need is a couple lines of JS. I have an extension idea; it's literally a single line of JS. However, to get it into Safari, I need to create a (useless, and empty) Mac app with a specific configuration in Xcode that'll allow it to appear in the "extensions" list in Safari. Then I need to dea…
