Adding support for Safari extension would be nice!
However, it might be a harder challenge since the current version of Safari only accepts App Extension forcing you to write extensions in Swift.

I've never thought Safari porting, so I looked into how to develop it.
(Let me know if I'm wrong)

  • No compatibility. I need to develop the Safari extension individually.
    • I may need to rewrite some logic using native code in Swift or Objective-C. It's quite different from JavaScript.
  • Need to enroll the Apple Developer Program in order to develop
    • I need to pay some fee every year.

Overall, It sounds it's impossible to develop and maintain the Safari version as my personal project...

It's absolutely correct and that's what I feel sad about...
Hope Safari will adopt an extension architecture similar to Chrome or Firefox and ease the pain of supporting Safari.
