Change Extensions settings in Safari on Mac
In the Safari app on your Mac, use Extensions settings to change how you use extensions installed on your Mac.
To change these settings, choose Safari > Settings, then click Extensions.
Safari extensions are software programs you can install to customise the way your browser works. For example, extensions can show news headlines in a bar below the toolbar, change the appearance of web content, or add buttons to the Safari toolbar.
