Introduction

There is a partial automated way of creating a Safari extension from a Chrome one:

• https://iboysoft.com/news/convert-chrome-extension-to-safari.html
• https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_web_extension_for_safari

Read both articles before proceeding.

Requirement

• Mac OS X 13.0
• XCode (latest)

Conversion

Command to run for the current version of the Chrome :

xcrun safari-web-extension-converter ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/alofnhikmmkdbbbgpnglcpdollgjjfek/2.8.1_0

Repository with the conversion: https://github.com/tluyben/joplin-safari-clipper
