iOS 15 and Safari Extensions

iOS 15 came out recently. I am working on an episode of Music Ed Tech Talk that will cover this in more detail, along with the thoughts on the forthcoming version of macOS.

iOS 15 comes with a lot of new features that are worth checking out, one of which is Safari extensions.

Safari extensions allow for a variety of customizations typically popular on desktop browsing experiences, and particularly, Chrome.

Here are some of my favorite iOS 15 browser extensions so far:

  • 1Password - this extension allows 1Password to fill in your passwords for you, using a similar user interface to the desktop version of the app
  • Achoo HTML - displays the HTML of the web page you are currently on
  • Amplosion - redirects AMP links to their normal counterparts
  • Grammarly - identifies silly grammatical errors in fields on websites
  • Noir - adds dark mode to websites that don't otherwise have it
  • Apollo - opens Reddit URLs in the (superior) app Apollo instead of Safari

Of course, there are a lot of good content blocking extensions too like StopTheMadness, 1Blocker, and Super Agent for Safari.

For other kinds of hacks, utilities, and tweaks, check out Reload All Tabs, Vidimote, xSearch, and PiPifier.
