Create web extensions for Safari

A Podkey summary of Create web extensions for Safari, from WWDC 2026.Today’s story is really about how Safari extensions fit into Apple’s world without turning into their own weird little island. The big themes are packaging, privacy, and portability: how developers wrap an extension in an app for the App Store, how the same WebExtension code can now travel pretty cleanly across browsers, and how Safari handles things like blocking rules, permissions, storage, and even Touch ID. If you build browser extensions, or you’re just curious why Safari works the way it does, this is a pretty good snapshot of where things stand.Why Safari packaging feels differentOne codebase, fewer browser headachesHow Safari handles blocking and filteringPermissions that stay visible to the userDynamic scripts and keeping stateWhy storage and lifecycle details matterWhen a web extension reaches into the native appGetting it into the App Store and onto devicesThis podcast was created with Podkey.
