Great feedback, that would definitely be a good thing to add!


Love this tool, want to buy it for our team. Unfortunately, a tool that doesn't support Safari can't readily be used to help iterate products that use default browser or webkit webviews on MacOS or iOS.

We've noticed many tool devs think everyone uses Chrome (because those devs got non tech people in their social circle to install Chrome so "everyone they know" uses Chrome), but users who don't know devs just use whatever's there, and that means iPad, iPhone, and most Mac "end users" are Safari.

Along with being needed for those users, any tool that looks this good and works this magically is also going to appeal to dev teams that can appreciate why users like iPhones and designers like Macs, those teams will want this to work in Safari too.

That said, if you couldn't readily support Safari, I wonder if your extension could be adapted to work in Kagi's Orion browser that supports Chrome and Firefox extensions (to an extent), while being based on WebKit. Perhaps that's a path that could allow webkit debugging.

We would definitely pay for a Safari extension to be installed from Apple app store for each of our UX devs, product managers, and canary users.

For enterprise deployment, it needs to come from Apple app store or be distributed as an installable package through an automation mechanism. MAS (Mac app store) is easiest.

The extension needs to either be free, or have a "full price" version, so that it can be licensed per seat/user through corporate volume purchasing to run on employee devices. The way managed devices work, there's no way for companies to pay for employees to use in-app purchases (IAP).
