Safari support is present in release 3.1? Is there a way to install 3.1 or to build extension for safari?

[dhowe]

I still don't see any Safari releases here. Where do you find ublock for Safari?

[Chekushkin]

Well I got it from here I know it's not source but still =)

[Chekushkin]

Also 3.1 release I mentioned was about your releases.

[dhowe]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that project is uBlock. We are built on uBlock Origin, which is a different (though similar) codebase

[dhowe]

@cqx931 can you take a look at what's been added to uBlock for safari support ?

[Chekushkin]

@dhowe sorry, my fail, I thought it's the same =(

[dhowe]

no worries... we will look into the required changes in any case

[DylanLukes]

Only low priority :(?

[dhowe]

We are quite short on coders -- if anyone can help us on this ticket, we will certainly bump the priority up... thanks

[DylanLukes]

I'll be more than happy to take a look at how much work is involved this weekend. If possible I'll take a crack at it. uBlock Origin supports Safari so I suspect that it shouldn't be too difficult.

[dhowe]

Great ... you may want to check out our DevFAQ to see how we build things (from uBlock)

I had no idea and never heard of such a priceless tool! Until now..https://www.fastcompany.com/3068920/google-adnauseum-ad-blocking-war

I am not a coder sadly ... but please support as many browsers as your time and energy allows! :-)

Also, set up some PayPal account if you like, so people can show their appreciations for your hard work. :-)

[dhowe]

@RaminBourne thanks for the note - we will indeed continue trying to support more browsers...

Safari now supports WebExtensions

[dhowe]

excellent -- is this only on desktop?

[twodayslate]

@dhowe yes, that is my understanding

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions

[dhowe]

well it's a start at least...

[lessless]

not a strict necessity but will be good to have

I converted with /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/safari-web-extension-converter then result is

[theotheroracle]

looks promising at least . I'm new to the project but willing to contribute, will take a look through the docs tomorrow and see what I can do . ( or let me know if there's anything in particular I should look into )

[dhowe]

great @theotheroracle please see this ticket with link to instructions...

In fact I will close this ticket in favor of the new one, now that there is a path via web-extensions

[dhowe]

Anyone interested in discussing, or... better still, helping to develop, AdNauseam for Safari, see this ticket: #1761

[cootshk]

just run xcrun safari-web-extension-converter /path/to/extension and then build for Mac

[cootshk]

and then allow unsigned extensions in safari settings

[Alocart]

just run xcrun safari-web-extension-converter /path/to/extension and then build for Mac

• downloaded extension for Firefox
• ran xcrun safari-web-extension-converter ~/Downloads/adnauseam-3.18.0.xpi
• got an error: Unable to parse manifest.json at file:///Users/user/Downloads/adnauseam-3.18.0.xpi

Use the chrome one, not the Firefox one when converting to safari
