5 useful safari extensions
The selection of extensions is not that great, but there are a few good ones. We have put together a selection for you here:
Valt
Pictures as a master password - this is what distinguishes Valt from other password managers. The extension secures your passwords with a random master password represented by a series of images. Once a password has been added to Valt it will be used automatically every time you need it..
Ghostery Lite
With Ghostery Lite you can reduce the clutter on some websites. Because the extension blocks excessive ads and pop-ups. Of course, you can also add an exception for trusted websites. And with the user-friendly UI interface, this is done in no time at all.
Turn off the Lights
With the extension Turn off the lights , you can darken the background during a video playback. But not only that - you can also activate night mode and invert websites that way. Instead of black and white, you will see white on black. If you often sit at the computer at night, it is easy on your eyes..
AdBlock for Safari
ads are always annoying no matter which browser you are using. Fortunately, there is AdBlock for Safari which blocks almost any ad. Once you've installed the extension, you won't have to mess with the YouTube ads either. Be aware, however, that many websites ask you to turn off AdBlock so you can access their content.
Porn Block Plus
As the name suggests, Porn Block blocks most of the adult content. The extension works very reliably and even blocks searches for offensive keywords on Google. No shortcut is created in the system tray, so minors cannot simply turn the extension off.
