Apple is developing an AI-powered extension builder for Safari to address long-standing complaints about Safari’s weaker extension ecosystem compared with browsers like Chrome. Multiple outlets report that Safari has historically had a smaller library of extensions, in part because of Apple’s strict development and approval requirements for third-party add-ons. In its reported demonstrations, Apple shows an approach that allows users to describe the extension they want to build using natural language, effectively using AI to generate or help produce extension code. The goal is to make it easier for people to create Safari extensions without relying solely on traditional developer submission and review pathways. By lowering the friction for building extensions, Apple aims to improve the browser’s extensibility and competitiveness while avoiding the need to directly replicate Chrome’s much larger add-on library. The reports describe the feature as an invitation for users to “vibe code” or otherwise generate extensions through AI prompts, while still positioning it as a way to strengthen Safari’s extension capabilities.
