There are some great extensions for Safari on the Mac. Here’s a round-up of some of the best.
Grammarly for Safari
Price: Free (IAP)
Grammarly is designed to help you improve your writing by highlighting spelling and grammatical errors as you go. If you use web-based email services, social media sites and online forums, the Safari extension is a must.
AutoRefresh
Price: Free
This neat little extension lets you reload a Safari website, with a very high degree of control. You can refresh your current site, reload all your open tabs, set an interval for them all to refresh automatically and more.
Zoom for Safari
Price: Free
The slider and zoom buttons this extension gives you let you zoom into and out of a website, with a zoom factor between one and 400. You can also use a floating magnifying glass on the browser page, in a square or circle shape.

Price: £14.99, $19.65, 18,03 €
PullTube is an app that lets you download videos from YouTube, so you can enjoy them offline. It has a useful Safari extension that lets you send the video’s link directly to the app, instead of copying and pasting it into the window.
Save to Pocket
Price: Free
Save to Pocket lets you capture articles and videos on Safari, and save it to the Pocket app for later perusal. Saved links are synced across all your Apple devices, so you can enjoy them wherever and whenever you choose.

Price: Free (IAP)
